My name is Jon (or Baseball Jesus, depending upon who at LSB you ask). I'm from Southern California, which only means I have cause to hate the Angels waaay more than you do.

Things I like: posting dinosaurs in gameday threads, playing around with Fangraphs leaderboards, and watching hitters like Chase Utley.

Things I dislike: Ron Washington, the sad, outmoded way of thinking the baseball media perpetuates, and watching hitters like Marlon Byrd.

The girl in my avy is currently Miranda Lambert (again).

a fan of

Texas Rangers Major League Baseball Team

Tony Stewart NASCAR Driver(s)

Ric Flair Mixed Martial Artist(s)

Ian Kinsler Cyclist(s)
