State of the Diehards
Monday, February 22, 2010
Welcome Marlins fans and browsers of the internets. It is about time to begin year two of this blog. Spring Training has just begun. That, coupled with the recent (more important) State of the Union address has us thinking we need to give some sort of State of the Blog address. We think we had a nice rookie season, but we would like to not only avoid the sophomore slump, but also improve a great deal. We have several things planned for this year. We've already launched a redesign of the site, which we hope you like. We will continue some of our regular features, like the Children of the Marlins Diaspora and Week in Review.
We will also have more contests, including the trade pool. Hopefully they go better than they did last year (Also, Adam Smoot, if you are reading this, you have a 12-pack of beer or 4-pack of Steel Reserve on us if you let us know where to deliver it). But most of all, we will stay true to our original mission, covering the Florida Marlins with an eye on all the oddities that accompany Marlins fandom. We hope you'll join us for another year of hand-wringing over relief pitchers, our unique historical prospective, predicting the next member of the Marlins diaspora, and attempting to put a happy face on the pratfalls that are sure to come at some point.
What To Do Now
Most of our readers and people who stumble upon the blog probably already have this figured out but in case you don't here is a list of ways to keep up with us.
