He's gonna do what??


So, here's how it's going to go: I'll have posts about normal boring everyday blogger posts i.e. "Halladay still not traded", "When will Favre keel over and die?" so on and so forth, but as mentioned in prior post, working in live games blah-blah-bah, I'll be giving you updates from games you probably won't give two shits about.

But hey, here's a little sample that'll most likely get you're teeth grinding or bring a smile to your face. Tonight, as
Alexei "The Cuban Missile" Ramirez was in the process of turning a 6-4-3 double play and tweaked what looked like could have been his ankle and removed from the game in the top of the 7th. You may not care, but this is a guy who is owned in pretty much every fantasy league and is the future face of the Chicago White Sox.

Generally, I'll give you a little preface of the game I'm doing for the night, such as starting pitchers, potential line-ups, etc. Tonight, kind of spur of the moment so bear with me.

Slow start...


I've been meaning to sit down and start a whole new blog, ever since I graduated and had some time on my hands. Well...it's been over a month of sitting around and speculating about said blog and it's finally come! I wrote an old blog (Huw's on First?!), which failed due to lack of interest (both audience and myself), but now I'll be trying to update the blog periodically.

Let me give you a little rundown of myself that can't be explained in the little side box. As you may have read in my sidebar I work in sports, at Sirius XM radio specifically. What do I do? Funny you should ask, I work in live play-by-play for all major sports. That means roughly getting paid to watch games. A dream come true, no? There are other duties I have at work, but I don't want to bore you with all of the details. Lets just say that if you are a Sirius XM subscriber and something is wrong with the game you're listening to, well, I'm the guy to blame.

What is this blog all about you may or may not ask. Well, I am a huge sports fan, I really enjoy baseball and excuse me if I rabble on and on about it. BUT, I will be discussing things beyond sports, such as memories, funny things and anything I can think about that may bore you to tears.

Are you going to have a hometown preference Huw? Glad you asked that. Yes, yes I will be biased, just enough to push peoples' buttons, though. On a serious note, I am Boston sports fan (A "Homer" as one of my roommate loves to call me) and will be floating around the subject probably more than the normal human being, but I won't be discussing things like the Pittsburgh Pirates 18th round draft choice and his potential impact on the franchise in 6 years. TO THE POINT: I will discuss the pressing issues in the world of sports, with out being on my knees for major market teams i.e. ESPN.

WITH OUT FURTHER ADO THE FIRST POST!!! HORRAY!
