Quote of the Week

I've decided to start something called the quote of the week. this week's quote of the week award is ,

     "All ballplayers should quit when it starts to feel as if all the baselines run uphill."

Favorite Jersey

I've decided that my favorite jersey is a Houston Astros jersey from the late 80's-early 90's. I think the most famous player that ever wore this suit was Nolan Ryan (MLB pitcher who played from '66-'93). I just think the retro coloring and armbands are pretty sweet.

....Sorry

Sorry (few people who are reading) that I haven't been posting for a while. I've been away. I even went to Safeco Field (the Mariners stadium). Now I know this blog was never exactly at the height of popularity but know I'm really gonna start blogging again.

Coolest Jersey Quest

    I am currently on a quest looking for the coolest (baseball) jersey of all time if anybody has any jerseys they think are pretty awesome email me, Dr. Stix, a picture of it at stix.bball@gmail.com. Let the quest begin.

Player Profile: Starlin Castro vs. Jose Reyes

    Two of my favorite players in the MLB, Jose Reyes (New York Mets), and Starlin Castro (Chicago Cubs) always seem to remind me of each other, so I decided to compare them. I think they are both very talented shortstops, however I think Reyes is slightly more skilled (than Castro). However I think and hope Castro will eventually become a Reyes-like figure in baseball. I am not surprised at all that Reyes is currently doing a little better than Castro, mostly because Castro has only been playing for a little over a year whereas Reyes has been in the league for roughly 8 years. I like Reyes is pretty much known for his triples, stolen bases, and overall speed. But Castro is known mostly known for talent as one o the youngest players in the league. Then there's everything about Reyes possibly being traded. I think he would be perfect for the Giants, and since I'm a Giants fan I hope he is traded to them. But all in all II think Jose Reyes and Starlin Castro are both incredibly talented shortstops.
