Yesterday, I posted all of the crazy hate that I was receiving in ben’s Effectively Wild baseball group, where i posted my very well-received piece in the Federalist on how baseball fans should stand for the anthem. I wish I could say it stopped there. I expected I’d get a little shade from the group, […]

Best Of The Hater Comments From My MLB Federalist Article
This was my rather innocuous article that most Americans would agree with and isn’t inflammatory at all. It didn’t stop the SJWs from being crazy, however. This is a best of, and about 3-5% of the amount of hate comments I received over my article. The pure level of toxicity of these groups is why I […]
New Federalist Article: Saving Baseball From Toxic SJW Politics
http://thefederalist.com/2017/10/31/3-reasons-baseball-will-lose-big-national-anthem-protests-catch My article is able. I’m pretty proud to be able to do some sports journalism, which has always been a dream of mine. Hopefully I’ll be able to do more later. I know you guys don’t like to click on it so much but perhaps Federalist readers do 😉 And if you love baseball […]
World Series Predictions And Other Baseball Matters
Earlier this morning I received a call from the Oakland A’s front office, folk a little higher up in the org than your standard fare. They called and said they were happy to hear me out and they were hoping that I might reconsider my season tickets for next year. I told them I had […]

Letter Cancelling A’s Season Tickets – #StandForTheAnthem
With all of the athletes and entertainers out there signalling their hate for America, for the flag, utterly disrespecting and paying no care to the soldiers or police who protect us, I decided to take action. I don’t just say #DumpTheNFL, but I put my money where my mouth is, even when it’s painful for me […]
#ESPNIsOverParty: More Convergence At Disney Subsidiaries
I won’t lie, I stopped watching ESPN more than a decade ago. This train wreck was coming for a long time, but I didn’t think the nail in the coffin would be due to virtue signalling politics overriding its core mission as a company. The reason I stopped is because of the extreme east coast […]
In Which I Take Back My Naysaying About Jharel Cotton From Last Week’s Blog
Such is baseball. He shut out the Royals on the road today, and though the Royals this year aren’t the Royals of a couple years ago, it’s still an impressive feat. A few of the hits last week were some fluke hits, so I should not have downplayed his abilities based on his September 2016 […]
I’m Going To Talk About Baseball
I’ve mentioned before the traffic differentials depending on what I talk about, and how smart marketing people would focus on what their audience wants, hone that, and keep it going as to not get them to tune out. But it’s Opening Week and y’all are going to have to deal with baseball talk from me. […]
The Spring Training Experience
Over the weekend I did my first ever Spring Training trip with my father, father in-law and my oldest son. We went to the Cactus League in Phoenix, AZ to see the Oakland A’s for three games: KC Royals (Away), TX Rangers and Chicago Cubs. It was about the perfect weekend trip timing wise, taking […]
