Today's post has a little different twist to it. You won't actually find it here on this site. Let me explain...
I was asked by Kevin Kaduk (Duk) of Big League Stew to write a little something about the Angels' 2010 season. It's actually a "Dear John" letter and you can find it here: Dear Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. It was actually posted there yesterday and I'll have something new for this site later today.
I'd like to thank Duk for the opportunity to write something for Yahoo! and welcome any readers visiting this blog for the first time. Please be sure to check out my other blog The Baseball Docent - Taking you on a tour of all things baseball. It is very much a work in progress, but I have some cool things cooking that will be up on that site in the near future.
In the mean time - let me again welcome any new folks to this blog. I hope you'll be back for more. If you're a regular reader - thank you too! Here's to hoping for a great Angels off season. Whatever happens or doesn't happen, you can count on me blogging about it here.
I was wondering who they were going to ask to write our Dear John letter :). I like what you wrote because, yeah, no matter how disappointed and “over things” a fan might be in September, the spark always comes back to the relationship as soon as the pitchers and catchers report to spring training.
ReplyDeleteAbout the only thing I disagree with is your assessment of Frandsen. I didn’t think he was useless, though I agree he is not an everyday player. In fact, if they could figure how to get him to play like he did in May and June on a regular basis (because July and September were bad) I’d definitely prefer him as an occasional utility player to a certain man made of glass.
