You'll notice a slightly new title at the top of the page.

From nearly a year ago when I started this blog, it's had less of me than many of you expected. I knew I'd be sporadic, so I brought my pal TFD on to fill in the gaps with his unique takes on everything. Then I had the chance to bring in Ken Arneson and while it wasn't planned, it's kind of like one of Billy Beane's trades - it was all upside. Scott Long came on the team to lend some levity to our often take-ourselves-too-seriously tone and he's done exactly that.

It's an interesting little mix and if my "fame" allows guys like this to be more widely read, it's a good thing. I'd love to become something of a breeding ground for writers, letting guys like Ken or Scott be regulars, Blake or Brandon be occasionals, and if someone has a good idea, heck, I'll post it.

My ideal is to be the Daily Kos of baseball. Granted, I sneak over to his political ground sometimes, but I won't complain if Markos wants to talk baseball either. Seems fair. So, I'm just the ringleader. If you want to be in the circus, you've got to have an act.

I seldom address idiots, but I'll do this one. Neil, we've met at Pizza Feeds and you're another of the punks that badmouth BP and then ask for a job. Next time you want to criticize me, you have my email. Better yet, write up your criticism and I'll post it here for a point-counterpoint. That or shut the hell up.
