What you know, and what you think you know, are two different things

For example, newer readers might justifiably think that I am a passionate Bruins fan, to the exclusion of all other teams.  Not so!  My first love, and if you knocked me down and gave me noogies until I cracked, I'd confess, my dearest love, is baseball and the by-god Boston Red Sox.  

From 2005-2008 I took advantage of my proximity to Pawtucket and McCoy Stadium and ran a Farm Report post for the BostonDirtDogs web site.  50,000 hits a day - heady stuff indeed (a couple of typical columns can be found here and here, and a non-typical one can be found at the bottom of the page here). It was a lot of fun and it served to crisp up my writing in a fast hurry:  nothing quite like writing if you aspire to be a writer.

Anyway, my point, and I do have one, is this: another opportunity has come my way to do some writing about the Sox; in fact to run the site itself.  The ownership of Giants 101, a hugely popular NY Giants fan site, are branching out and will be creating among other sites a Red Sox 101 site.  The only catch is, the model calls for a foursome of writers to assure that there is enough content.  As soon as the advertising income covers costs and the site starts running a profit, the writers will be paid according to their contributions.  

So: Like the Sox?  Good writer? Smart? Did you love Johnny Val when you were younger? Want to attract thousands of readers a day instead of hundreds or dozens?  Get in touch with me. 

Until next time, please remember what my dad would say in moments of frustration:  "Fuck you and the Boston Red Sox."  I like to think he meant that kindly.
