Or should I use some Toaster metaphor?

Welcome to the Post-Messenger, the new online home for Will Carroll, Scott Long, and our new friends from the Tri-County Post-Messenger. Since Scoop Jackson got to the format before me, I'll just duck a bit here.

For those that knew our work at "Will Carroll Presents," this will be very similar. For those that know Scott as one of the top touring comedians in the country, this will be a way of getting to know more about him or just finding when he'll be in your area. For those that know my work at Baseball Prospectus, well, I don't talk about injuries here. You have to pay BP for that.

We'll talk about a little of everything, venturing from the edges of baseball to the edge of insanity. Our universe revolves around baseball, music, pop culture, gadgets, and the rambling rants of two men with too many interests and a few too many balls in the air. We like having smart people along for the ride to help us.

This will also be one of the main promotion tools for my upcoming book, "The Juice: The Real Story of Baseball's Drug Problems." I'll answer questions, try to make this issue a bit more understandable, and I'll be watching this important issue closely. It's going to get very, very interesting in the coming weeks.

So enjoy the ride, be part of the process and whatever you do, have fun.
