In my case hopefully won't cause any lasting damage.  Let me do what I should have done originally and introduce myself.

Despite what initial impressions may insinuate, I am not a spambot whore or blogger looking to pimp out for my own gain, nor am I a deliberate douchebag.  I am a recent graduate of Syracuse University, with a degree that has absolutely nothing to do with writing (or, evidently, Public Relations).  I grew up in Redwood City, CA just south of San Francisco.  I only lived there for 10 years but, as could be understood, that was more than enough time to fall in love with anything that had to do with Bay Area sports.  One of my fondest memories is seeing my name on the birthday board at Candlestick at a Giants game when I was 6.

Probably the hardest thing about moving for me (I moved all the way to the far east coast) wasn't losing friends; it was losing my teams.  You have no idea how hard it is to see the Giants on the TV once a month, at best.  It's brutal.  But that never killed my love for them, or any other Bay Area team.  The Giants, Niners, and Warriors are my true loves.  Talking about them (writing, debating, critiquing, etc.) is my passion. 

I am not a blogger who has the time to dig up stats and make crazy analyses of them (usually) but I love that people can and do.  And I love to read and comment on others' opinions.  It's cool to see so many Giants fans' brains and hearts in high gear at work.

I'll keep this short and sweet, but I once again wanted to apologize for how I blasted onto the scene.  No disrespect was intended in the least, and I hope I can join this awesome community and have some great discussions on the Giants!
