To Blog, or Not to Blog

Why blog?  Why this blog?  Great questions with not so great answers.

The long and short of it is sometimes when I watch sports I think of interesting things that I would want to share with someone and then I turn to tell somebody (anybody) and realize that nobody is there because I live a sad, sad life with very few friends.  All I want out of it is somebody to listen to what I say and then go, “Hmm, I never thought of that.” or “Oh, yeah..that’s a great idea.”  That’s all.  Then they can leave.  If I could have a bell that I could ring whenever I had an interesting thought on sports and somebody would run in and I could tell them my thought and they would go, “Genius! I can’t believe nobody ever thought of that before!” and then run off – I think I would be 4-6 times happier with my life.

And there would be no need for me to write a blog.  So anyways, baseball is my favorite pastime, but I do enjoy all sports and the science of gambling on all sports so my thoughts will probably concentrate on baseball, but spread throughout the sports world. 

However, you will not find recaps of games or any of those type of posts that you can read on espn.com or any main site that can do that type of article much better than I can – I will try to keep the content (somewhat) original.  And please, if you come across this blog I implore you to please just comment, “Great thought!” or “Really interesting idea, I never would have thought of that.”  That’s all I’m looking for, and it takes 20 seconds of your day, so please, I don’t have much and it will make me oh-so happy.

Enjoy.
