Times are Changing...

So here it is. It’s about that time where we finally put that dreaded footballing season behind us and focus on what lies ahead. The address is the same (for now), the writer’s (cough!) are the same, and the content will be the same. Only the focus of our collective wrath will have changed. It’s baseballing time here in San Diego and I intend to pay attention to our other professional team here in town.

Let’s get a bit of bizness out of the way first. Like I said, the address is the same. It will remain that way until I can figure out how to change it without losing the other one as well. I want for minimal effort on my part to continue this thing so I am scouring the friendship database for computer assistance since I am a jackass. There may be a change, there may not be a change. If there is, rest assured that you will know about it, probably before I do.

There should be plenty of content for your viewing pleasure barring any hospital time due to rampant cases of disease by either myself or the Colossus. Common sense tells me that with ten times the games to review, hopefully more with a playoff run, that there should be ten times the content over here. And of course I am talking quantity not quality. If you want quality look elsewhere, this is after all a site about our San Diego sports teams, we can only be as good over here as the product that is put on the field. Seeing as how we have spent a total of zero dollars to improve our baseballing team this off-season, don’t look for any measurable improvements from our overpaid writing staff either. But, there should still be enough neurons between us to power the remaining semi-disabled brain cells on their upstream journey. At last count there was still a handful or so left. If not I will get my niece to punch on the keyboard three times a week. You won’t know the difference.

As of Monday, the official footballing ban/blackout/lockout period began. That means that there will be no more discussion of our heart wrenching squad for now. None. Not until the launch of what is the dreaded pre-season, ritualistically kicked off each year by the “Couchgate” party. This will be the fourth annual installment. But, that is still spring and summer away. So there is to be no discussion of our footballing team what so ever. The only time that rule may be broken during the blackout period is if something historical or catastrophic happens. For example, the Chargers signing Keenan McCardell to a two year extension today. That does not count. It’s cool. But it doesn’t count. Enough of that…

Finally, as there will be plenty to talk about we welcome all comments and criticism. We welcome all readers so share our garbage with your friends and enemies alike.

It’s time for baseballing…
