Welcome! Make note of the nearest exit, just in case...

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to my new blog. The way I see it, I spend enough time pontificating about baseball and general and the Yankees in particular, often with no basis whatsoever other than my own irrational opinions, to warrant further pollution of the blogosphere with yet another baseball blog.

My hope is to make you think (even if your thought is "this guy's an idiot!"), make you laugh (even if you're laughing at the fact this blog exists in the first place) and ultimately lend a new (if slightly bizarre at times) voice to the conversation/shouting match that is the Yankee-flavored area of the interweb. (If you're wondering, Yankee flavor is a mixture of stale champagne and overripe, past-prime pitching, with a dash of misguided hope courtesy of people like me). 

With the new season finally officially kicking off tonight (the Phillies are currently losing to the Braves in the first inning, which means the natural order of things...i.e. Philly and losing going hand-in-glove...might be returning to the land of baseball), I figured there was no time like the present. Further thoughts to come, whether you like it or not...
