H. Jose Bosch - Michigan and Trumbull
H. Jose Bosch is a recent graduate from Northwestern's Medill School of Journalism graduate program. He did his undergrad studies at the University of Michigan. Bosch was destined to be a Tigers fan when the two prominent stuffed toys in his crib were a tiger and a baseball. His biggest claim to fame is that he was the starting catcher the one season he played alongside Tiger rookie catcher Alex Avila at De La Salle High School in Warren, Michigan. That didn't prevent Avila from being better at everything else baseball related. Bosch loves to blog about anything Detroit Tigers related and will try to remind the reader that while we all take this game and this team so seriously, we still need to have some fun. If we don't, we'll never find Magglio's attempt at catching fly balls humorous.

Emile Dawisha - Terp Ticker
I am a sports journalist living in Chicago, a short walk away from Wrigley Field. I graduated from Miami University of Ohio, where I majored in journalism and had the pleasure of serving Ben Roethlisberger stir fry at the dining hall once. I have worked at sports desks from Cincinnati, OH to Aurora, IL and have covered just about every sport. I love talking Bears, Orioles, Reds and Terps basketball and football. And yes, I acknowledge I'm all over the map with my sports allegiances. But I've lived in D.C., Cincinnati and now Chicago, so don't say the words, "fairweather" or "bandwagon." Besides, who is a bandwagon Orioles fan anyway?

Robbie Gillies - Get In the Zone, Otto's Zone / Looks Like Another Perfect Day
I've been a lifelong Syracuse fan. My mom went to Syracuse, my dad went to Syracuse, my older sister went to Syracuse, my older brother went to USC - no one in the family talks to him anymore. I've experienced the heartbreak of the Richmond Spiders and the joys of Carmelo Anthony. The bottom line is I've been a huge fan of the Orange for years and want to share my thoughts and insights with anyone who is interested. On the other hand, I never had an NBA team growing up. My allegiances bounced from team to team as a kid. But while in college in 2002, when I realized I was going to move to Los Angeles, I picked the Lakers.

Ed Gunther - The National Championship Issue *
Ed Gunther is not a role model. He is decidedly not the most interesting man in the world. And he's probably not your worst nightmare (unless you're a computer that's scared to death of crunching vast volumes of college football data). He is a writer, fond of snark, enjoys a good sandwich, and is rather tired of all the hype, which he tries to combat at every turn.
Minda Haas - Royal Blues
Minda Haas is a senior journalism major at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Though her baseball playing and coaching career never advanced past little leagues, she has been an obsessive Royals fan her entire life, blogged about them for almost four years, and worked for their Triple-A affiliate for three seasons. She tends to see the game through the eyes of a stat nerd, but will also root irrationally for the nice players who sign autographs for little kids, even if those players don't have the highest WAR total or lowest FIP.

When not reading about, talking about, or attempting to play baseball, he enjoys reading the world's most famous books just to say he has. When it comes to writing about the Reds, he tries to buffer the team's woes with humor and light-heartedness, but joking about Willy Taveras doesn't get him out of the leadoff spot.

Frank Lary - Pinstripe Poison
Frank Lary is a pseudonym for a baseball writer who fears retribution from the now-homeless Yankee Stadium ghosts.

There is no truth to the rumor that he personally trained the gnats that ate Joba's mojo.
Alessandro Mastroluca - ATP Tennis 360
"What is written without passion, is read without impact." This famous sentence by Samuel Johnson affected all my life and my career until now. I'm Alessandro Mastroluca, 26, an Italian journalist grown with the audacity of a hope, the dream, the desire, the need to be the eyes, the ears, the nose of all the people remained at home. A journalist who simply dream to tell, one day, the same words of the Italian TV commentator after the 2008 Wimbledon final: "Thanks for letting me live such a great emotion."
