Keith Hayes got his love for writing in the 6th grade where he began writing sci-fi stories for classmates and friends, while continuing to write over the years as a personal hobby.
In 1991 after purchasing WebTV, he caught the Internet bug and began writing on various message boards and newsgroups under the pseudonym Mista Sinista. His posts became popular as he covered movie reviews, the New England Patriots, WCW and WWE (formerly WWF) wrestling. Just do a Google search for Mista Sinista or Sinista1 under groups, and you'll discover enough material to read for months.
As his debating talents developed online, he became vocal in his local newspaper, the Enterprise. He began submitting Letters to the Editor, and most of his pieces were printed on a regular basis. He also had similar success with his letters to the early years of Patriots Football Weekly. After generating some buzz and catching the eyes of readers, Keith was contacted to write for wrestling web site Wrestlenutz.com. He was then later contacted to write for a New England Patriots fan website PatriotsFootball.com, which is now known as PatsFans.com.
When covering the Pats, Keith kept his Mista Sinista attitude and reviewed the games with his "tell it like it is" style. The Patriots experience soon took off, and allowed him to meet various players, travel to a Pro Bowl in Hawaii, a Super Bowl in New Orleans, several away games in the Meadowlands, and some great games in Foxboro, where he has been a season ticket holder since 1990.
Today, he covers the New England Patriots for eSports and as a 12th Man correspondent for PatsFans.com. You can read his political and local debates on his hometown site Brockton Forums. But for a real treat, you can also see the twisted side on his moniker web site Sinista1.com, where he has some great spoofs like "Barbie and Ken's True Hollywood Story," and "Celebrity Survivor."
Most recently, Keith has become a co-host on two hit radio shows at WXBR 1460 AM in Brockton (formerly WBET). On Fridays, Keith can be heard during the "On the Mark PI Show," with his host Private Investigator Mark Chauppetta, who has his own reality television show in negotiations, and a role in the upcoming horror film Frightworld where he plays an FBI Agent hunting a serial killer who has killed his wife.
Keith is now following in his host’s footsteps after scoring a part in Walt Disney's upcoming movie "The Game Plan," starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. In the movie, Keith plays a football player on QB Joe Kingman’s (Dwayne's character) Boston Rebels rival team the New York Dukes. Also joining Keith on the show is defense attorney Ken Diesenhof, and Brockton Police Officer Frank "Czman".
On Saturdays, Keith can be heard during "Krashing Into the Bigfield/The Lock Up" from noon to 4 p.m. talking sports with Enterprise writer Kevin Tocci, and aspiring actor Tom Mariano, cousin to "Boston Rob" of "Survivor/Amazing Race" fame. The show also features guests Matt Futrell, Peter Czymbor, Dennis Harris, and is produced by former Indie wrestler Mike Pavia. The South Shore Sports Show is growing, as the first two hours cover sports (professional and local), while the second two hours cover the best talk in professional and Indie wrestling.
Somewhere, someplace deep in the bowels of hell there is a file cabinet, and in that file cabinet there is a contract for a soul with George Steinbrenner's name signed in blood at the bottom.
The good news is...
It's dated for tomorrow, October 20, 2004 at 11 pm while Pedro is on the mound as a reliever striking out Hideko Matsui in the bottom of the ninth for the final out.
That's right, this could be the year for Boston in sports; the Pats have 20 wins in a row erasing all of their past demons, and now the Red Sox are on the same brink of greatness, as they began tonight by tying up the ALCS from a three game deficit in the house that Ruth built.
Hey Yankees fans, can you feel that? It's either the fall chill, or maybe it's the ghost of the Babe finally turning his back on you and allowing this curse to be put to rest.
This team has faced adversity and up to this point kicked its arse, and almost everyone has contributed including the guys acquired by GM Theo Epstein during the off-season.
P Keith Foulke went above and beyond last night holding off a Yankee offense, and giving the bullpen a much-needed rest for game seven.
What about the intestinal fortitude (god bless Monsoon) of P Curt Schilling pitching seven innings on a freshly sutured right ankle with blood seeping from the bandages. His performance is up there with QB Drew Bledsoe's back to back heroics with a broken finger on his throwing hand. Curt Schilling is the Kerri Strug of this team, what a performance.
What else can be said of DH David (Big Papi) Ortiz? If this team gets past the Yankees tomorrow night he should be named MVP of the series. His bats have left a sting in the Yankees pitching rotation, and yet they still don't walk him as I thought they should have on several occasions during this series.
SS Orlando Cabrera is making a lot of people forget about the fact that Nomar Garciaparra was traded away as he is putting up better numbers than Yankees SS Derek Jeter who is playing the field well, but is missing a part of his bat this series.
LF Manny Ramierz RBI numbers are down, but it's misleading because earlier in the series he had a struggling CF Johnny Damon and 2B Mark Belhorn ahead of him. I'm hoping to see Manny do some damage tonight, now that Bill Mueller has been moved into the second spot and is carrying a better stick.
CF Johnny Damon had a hit last night, but for the series he has been null and void when talking about offense at the plate. His swing timing seems to be off, and at times may be infected with the same virus ?- chokeitus -- that affected SS Nomar Garciaprra over the years during the playoffs. Tonight could be the night for him to bounce back as Belhorn did with his 4th inning HR last night with two men on.
1B Kevin Millar has had a good bat this series, but for strategy reasons he has been subbed with 1B Doug Mientkiewicz who is also strong at first base.
C Jason Varitek wailed off three hits last night, but if Wakefield starts tomorrow they may have to go with C Doug Mirabelli to handle catching the knuckleball. Then bring Jason in when Walkefield bows out.
RF Gabe Kapler has been flying under the radar at bat, and his defense has been the same, as the Yankees seem to like working the left side and middle of the field, which to me is the strong side of the Red Sox defense.
2B Mark Belhorn was on his way to being the biggest thorn in this team's side, and was probably one scratch away from having M Tony Francona put 2B Pokey Reese in his place, but he must have felt Belhorn was due to come up big, by moving him to batting 9th was a move that almost came too late.
I also can't forget to mention the MLB umpires who up to this point hadn't had much part in the drama of this series until last night. Belhorn's blast had clearly made it over the wall, stuck a fan, and landed back into the field of play, but Belhorn was held up at second until after an umpire tribunal it was ruled a home run. The 2 RBI double then became a 3-point homer giving the Red Sox a strong advantage in the top of the 4th inning. Then it happened, the Yankees got desperate, and shot themselves in the foot giving the Red Sox some serious momentum.
Bottom of the eight Bronson Arroyo replaced Curt Schilling, and SS Derek Jeter got a 1 RBI single bringing 3B Alex Rodriguez to the plate with 1 out and the Yankees down by 2. Arroyo got the count to 2 balls/2 strikes and A-Rod hit a soft grounder to the left of the first base line. Arroyo scooped it up and went to tag A-Rod. From the camera angle you see the ball fall loose, and roll towards the dugout as Jeter burned a trail for home and scored. Fans across New England almost died in unison until a replay showed A-Rod clearly swatting the wrist of Bronson Arroyo as he made the tag. The umps confer in a tribunal once more, rule the play interference calling A-Rod out, and returned Jeter to first base. This was the first the nail in the Yankees coffin for the night as the Red Sox played hard ball to put this team away, set up a game seven in New York.
Is it I, or have the Red Sox hired the same scriptwriters employed by the New England Patriots?
If they do, then I can see them getting two of the three monkeys off their backs by finally getting past the Yankees for a shot in the World Series. Thus, setting up a possible match up against the Houston Astros if they eliminate the St Louis Cardinals tomorrow. If so, and since the AL won the All Star game earlier this year meaning the Sox will have home field advantage setting up game one here for Saturday night and possibly being P Roger Clemens going against P Pedro Martinez.
Imagine the possibilities... Priceless!
