Hometown team loyalty and keen insight into local's seasonal wardrobe? You may have noticed the Oakland pride creeping into new SFist contributor Jacob's posts. When he's not cyber heckling the Red Sox Jacob is in school. He seems to have spent an awful lot of time there.

BEST story EVER on SFist
The Sarah Daly interview. Awe, shucks!

BEST Picture on SFist
Tie: All the photos of food at the farmers' market. They make me hungry.

I wanted to be an SFist contributor because (besides the obvious fame and glory that would be mine):
I didn't spend enough time in front of my computer, or enough time thinking about baseball. Contributing to SFist has solved both those problems, and brought me obvious fame and glory.

You should read my SFist posts because
Sometimes they're funny. Also, when I attacked the Boston Red Sox, Boston fans and people from Boston, one of the Bostonist writers got my back in the comments.
