Starting a blog from scratch is an awkward endeavor. A formal introduction to phantom readers out there, somewhere, in the aether, always feels a bit silly, but just diving in and posting without first establishing who you are and (if necessary) why you are here is just plain rude. I mean really. Who am I to come barging onto your monitor uninvited, haranguing you about the latest blunders by your favorite team's GM, or why everyone seems to be looking at Issue X all cock-eyed? How arrogant am I to think I'd know better than experts and professionals? And am I at least entertainingly arrogant about it, or am I just some blowhard with a keyboard and a chip-encrusted shoulder?
I'll answer those questions for you soon enough. Promise.
Remember: if you want the people to come and chat, you have to talk about the Dodgers once in a while. :)
vr, Xei
I linked you at Beyond The Box Score, so hopefully I can throw a few people over your way. Good luck with this new endeavor!
No you don't. Welcome.
I second that. In fact, if you talk about the Dodgers, I probably won't read you. There's enough of that going on in Weisman's blog.
Welcome, cheers.
