Welcome To The Game...

We've all had our moments of remembered stardom on the playground. The backyard no-hitter you threw against the neighbor's kids. Those six goals that made you the Lionel Messi of cul-de-sac soccer. The ONE time that, against all odds, you managed to head fake your much taller friend and drain a jumper as smooth as Ray Allen's. (Sorry, Myron, it happened.) We all love pick up games because they give us a chance to shine where we otherwise wouldn't or couldn't.

And so, in that spirit, we've started Pick Up Games. Our goal is to talk about what we want to talk about, and hopefully what you want to read. Yeah, we've got some baseball guys, and yeah, we've got some football guys (as well as basketball, soccer, hockey, wrestling and MMA)...but that doesn't mean we won't try our hand at tennis or golf. Hell, we may even write about cricket if you spot us ten minutes to look it up on Wikipedia first.

We look forward to starting an all in, all out conversation about what's going on in sports. It's not gonna be polished or pre-processed by some multi-national conglomerate. It's straight up pick up. Let your big man swing out to the wing. Let the fat kid line up in the backfield. And let the games begin.
