Hey
It's been a while, hasn't it? How's it going out there? Is anyone out there, even?
Listen, I've wanted to say something here about the off-season for the past few months, but really, it's hockey season and that's been my focus. I love hockey, maybe even more than baseball. But I cannot deny my undying love for baseball. That is why I run a baseball blog and not a hockey blog, isn't it?
I don't even know where to begin.
Boy, the Braves sure look like their going to be good this year, don't they? Just stacked, top to bottom. The only hole I see is the 5th starting pitcher spot, and who knows, maybe Julio Tehran will be the next ace and we'll not have a hole at all? But as of right now, it's a question mark, one of the very few that the Braves have. Also, third base, for the first time in a very long time has a question mark. I'm not that worried. I thing Chris Johnson (not the running back) should be okay over there. Every team needs an 8 hitter, right?
Enough about the Braves, I want to mention a life saver of a site that kept me in the loop all off-season. It's the ESPN MLB Transaction page. Without it, I would have missed every single one of those off-season transactions that don't get reported on the sites and radio broadcasts and news articles I read or listen to from time to time. In the off-season I just don't have time to keep up with everything, what with all the hockey I'm watching. So a quick glance at the transactions page, I get the info I need and move along with my day, make my own opinions on the moves, and blog about it. All true, except that last part, I suppose.
For example, I'm a massive Atlanta Braves fan, and you think I would stay connected to the team in December, but the fact of the matter is, I didn't. I found out that Tommy Hansen was traded to the Angels via the Transactions page. How did I not read about that on Twitter? Because I don't follow much Braves stuff on there, because of spoilers. I don't get to watch many Braves games live because I don't have cable, so I watch them the next morning. I can't not check Twitter, so I don't follow baseball stuff on there. The point I'm making is that Tommy Hansen got traded to Anaheim and I almost missed it. Good for him, I suppose. I believe he's done, but I hope he's not. Dude was a strikeout machine when healthy. I hope he finds success in the American League. Good for him.
Anyway I've rambled along enough. The season starts like, next week, so hopefully I'll be able to write about it regularly. Baseball is just the best.
