Michael's Bio

Ever since he was a small boy, Mike has dreamed of becoming a professional baseball or basketball player. Unfortunately, once he hit the 6-foot mark he plateaued, and so did his sports career.

Now Mike has just transferred to the University of Maryland as a newly-minted journalism major and beat writer for the well-respected Diamondback.

Unfortunately, for now, that beat is student government, something Mike cares very little about but is willing to work as long as it gets him a good sports beat in the spring instead of women's golf or softball.

He will be slowly working his way back into the masses of Bleacher Creatures, and hopes that people will understand his absence because of the difficult transition.

He loves Pearl Jam, and the Stone Temple Pilots, but occasionally be caught listening to country music.

Any book by David Halberstam is put in his "must-read" category, and he recently finished "Pistol: The Life of Pete Maravich" by Mark Kriegel and could barely put it down.

He can be reached by e-mail at mlemaire@umd.edu

Quick thing, I'm the Angels guy for B/R, think we should write a combined little fun piece for the Halos/Sox Series. Thoughts? I'm thinking light hearted, random and fun, less "analytical"?

8000 people and counting have read that article Michael—nice work!

Don't let the naysayers bother you (doesn't seem like you are, just making sure). The reaction from the members of our Community seems pretty positive, with a few exceptions.

Keep the great stuff coming!

I would be very glad to join your Red Sox round table. Been a fan since 1976.

I would favor the Red Sox signing Barry Bonds and assign him to Pawtucket to see if he has anything left. Would be a free insurance policy for Big Papi ands Manny for this fall.

Bonds would be great entertainment if anything. Make more more compelling TV too :)
If he stinks then we are free to boo him. But, maybe he can help win another trophy :)

Otherwise, the Sox might have to trade a young starter for bull pen help.
In the future they need to trade for, sign or develop replacements for Manny and Big Papi.

Hey Michael, I see congrats are in order for you for becoming the Red Sox Community Leader. It is surely a fun task heading up a community. Anyway, I use a website called wufoo.com. It is a site where you can create your own questionairre for people to fill out. It is free to sign up for, and you can have up to three forms in use w/o cost. I just use one and change my questions. If you want an example, visit

http://bleacherreportmlb.wufoo.com/forms/bleacher-report-tribe-talk/

When I am waiting on answers, I just go into my account and see who has filled it out. Then I cut and paste the answers into my document for further editing before I post. I then change the questions and then ask again the next week. I now have enough people that I alternate weeks with participation. To me it is much easier to do it this way than through email. You never know if somethng gets stashed away in junk mail or what. Try it out, if you have any ?'s feel free to let me know and good luck with your first roundtable.

Hey Michael,

This should be fixed by the end of the day today. Tomorrow at the latest—my sincerest apologies.

Check your email...just made an important introduction.

Thanks again,
Zander

Hmmm, it depends if you use a Mac or a PC. On a Mac, it's quite simple (as usual). You just have to press "shift" and "option", then press the dash.

On a PC, not as easy (as usual). Hold down "ALT" then press 0-1-5-1 on the numeric keypad. If you don't have a numeric keypad, you have to copy and paste them.

Hope this helps! Any other questions, don't hesitate to let me know.

I'm not sure there is a Red Sox Community Leader yet. If you're interested, the person to talk to is Zander Freund. He's the head community guy.

Good luck on the Sox beat. I'll be sure to check your Sox columns out.

Thanks,
Sean

Mike, I'm not working in firefox today so here's some editor's feedback.

Great article! I just tweaked your teaser, corrected some minor grammatical errors, and made some stylistic changes. Make sure everything checks out to your liking—keep up the awesome work!

Good article on the top 5 coaches in college basketball.

Big fan of the pic, and I agree that Kriegel's "Pistol" was a great read.

Michael, Welcome to BR. Great stuff so far. I like the Maravich pic. Looking forward to more...
