Welcome to my blog

Welcome to my blog. My name is Jax. I'm a dog who likes baseball.

I'm always talking about baseball and arguing with my master, Stephen. He doesn't know much about baseball players, managers, trades or really much of anything. So I try to educate him and his friends when they watch games on TV.

A lot of times I'll be resting with my jaw on the floor of the living room watching ESPN, and he'll be sitting next to me. While he's at work, I actually watch ESPNEWS all day while listening to KNBR-AM 680 The Sports Leader in the background. Since I got his Internet to work, I put on my glasses and read all the baseball blogs, I subscribe to Baseball America and all those other magazines. I read Andrew Baggerly's stories in the San Jose Mercury News, and Bruce Jenkins in the San Francisco Chronicle.

Each night we watch the Giants lose, again and again, naturally I have a lot to say about what's happening in the league and what could be done to save this team.

We get in to discussions and sometimes arguments. Recently, he turned to me and said, "If you know so much, why don't you start a blog?"

And I said, "The hell with you, maybe I will."

So, here it is: unfiltered baseball knowledge, straight from a dog with satellite TV, a fast Internet connection, and Peter Gammons on speed dial. (OK, I'm lying about the Peter Gammons part. But stick with me here. I'm typing this at paw speed, OK?)
