Genesis

This has been a long time coming. My journey began on ESPN with Rob Neyer (back when he was still free). Then it lead me to scouring the web for baseball content - strikethree was my first. Ever since my eyes opened to Baseball Prospectus and to my first blog crush - Aaron Gleeman, I've thought about starting my own blog. And here it goes, in my Microsoft Project class, where I'm supposed to be figuring out how to create a custom report but having quickly lost interest, I've finally worked up the courage to start.

To stamp my first post, here is the big Mets news of the day:
Guillermo Mota tests positive for a performance-enhacing substance.
I'm not really a firm believer in the steriod use enhances performance theory. I argue about this with my husband (who is in the eastern medicine field) often. I say clubs take advantage and sign these renegades to cheaper contracts.

And for my blog name sake:
DW hit a HR in the exhibition game against Yomiuri Giants.
Sadly, this did not happen in Game 7 even though I called for DW to break out and have a big game. I've recently gotten over my shellshock and continue to remind myself that this was a good, no a Great year.
But now we look forward to 2007. I think the husband and I are going to make a vacation out of spring training 07 which has gotten me very excited.
