I think we're referring to the same thing-- it's the story he tells about beat writing for the Giants (his dream job) and then having to turn in something for the next day's paper over a loss to the Dodgers in which he had to root against the Giants in order to make his article relevant right? That's the framework he uses to put fandom and beatwriting into perspective

Oh, I can't remember reading that... bummer. He's shared his thoughts on the subject a bunch of times over the years, though... I think. Him and Barrows both.

If you or anyone else has a link, I'd like to read it.

It's a must-read if you love reading Matt Maiocco.

I imagine he's only messing with you. Y'know... now you respond by punching him in the shoulder.

Wait....

Stupid internet and physical separation. No body language, facial expression, or shoulders. Screw you internet, screw you!

BTW, you didn't come off that way to me. Thanks again for sharing the info.

Did you guys exchange pics of your junk ?

Awesome. That was a good read. It does reflect all the things I've read from him in the past on the subject.

It takes some serious willpower to do what he is doing. At least he has the Giants. Looks like he made the right choice, too.

I didn't.

I stopped watching baseball because of the 1994 strike. Matt Williams was my favorite player and at the time I was a bigger baseball fan than football fan. Killing Williams chance at the home run record just made me hate baseball.

I still can't watch baseball. I didn't even watch the World Series this year.

Man, I have issues. I'm getting mad just thinking about that strike.
