Hello, we are Alec Trevelyan and Terence Mann. Welcome to this blog, which represents the corporeal form of our obsession.
The first thing you should know is that we both love baseball. We're not just talking "Watch the home team at the local sports bar a few nights a week" love here. No, we're talking "watching two last place teams from the opposite side of the country play instead of being productive of sleeping" love.
We are two guys who can derive genuine enjoyment watching two teams we don't care about. We discuss baseball trades and minor leaguers in the off season. We have played hundreds of games of the RBI Baseball for the NES in the last few years, discussing random baseball stories and cursing (or cheering) the fact that Nolan Ryan is apparently the best hitter on the 1986 Houston Astros. We argue Hall of Fame cases, we talk about awesome and horrible facial hair, and we hire hitmen for certain closers who couldn't hold a 9th inning, 3-run lead if you spotted them a leadoff double play.
Mostly, we just like talking baseball. And making fun of Julio Lugo.
Our plan here is nonexistent, as plans are for wimps. We're making this up as we go along. We basically want to talk baseball, make fun of people, and otherwise get some cathartic release for our obsession.
There will be humor and there will be actual analysis, though we will seek to provide a proper balance which involves disappointing amounts of both. We draw inspiration from Fire Joe Morgan, the Onion Sports, the Brushback Report, and your mom.
~~About the Authors~~
Alec and Terence are a pair of college juniors who also happen to be horrible people. These descriptions are subject to change depending on how extroverted and hyperbolic we are feeling at the time.
Alec is a born and raised Red Sox fan from just outside New Haven, CT: the Gaza Strip of Baseball fandom.
Terence is a Yankees, Twins and Phillies fan due family relations and the fact that he makes no sense.
So, without further ado, let's begin.
