After a hellish two weeks of finals, a winter break of sitting on my ass, and a first three weeks of Spring Semester, I think I can actually do what I wanted to do all along. Write about baseball.

It’s kind of strange trying to re-acquaint myself with my audience. I went from being a moderately popular blog on all topics Red Sox, to an underground blog, since I hate idle offseason gossip, to the number one site for people to go to looking for the lyrics for “Goin’ Back to Cali” thanks to my posting the lyrics after Game 4 of the ALDS. All I’m saying is to re-acquaint me, dammit!

What has happened? Curt Schilling came to the Red Sox, began a thread on Sons of Sam Horn, and caused a virtual blogging firestorm indirectly. The recap of the issue can be found in Baseball Primer’s Clutch Hits section. The link is here. The conversation ensuing is both stupid as hell, and engrossing. Truthfully, it’s one of a kind. Some people really don’t like SoSH, which I can understand to a point. But then again, what do I know, I’m an elitist Schilling and Henry ballwasher.

Sox also got Foulke. He got a call from Bobby Orr to seal the deal. No internet firestorm as ensued. I did however get a Foulke jersey for Christmas. Foulke yeah!

Manny-ARod became the primary reason Dewey’s House shut down for a while. The discussion pissed me off during part I. Then as we followed into Parts II through Part VII, I just hated everyone involved. Trade is dead for now. If I hear Dan Patrick mention ARod, Manny, Nomar, Magglio, or anything else dealing with this trade, then I don’t know if I can legitimately be held accountable for my actions.

Actually, I just hate Dan Patrick. What a douche.

My other passion would be URI men’s basketball. I can’t talk about them, because they are pissing me off as much as Patrick is. I don’t know how you can beat Providence College by 10, and then lose to Duquesne by 18. Argh!!!!!

Insanity aside, I’m back to a schedule of various amounts of sanity. You good folks out there can expect 3-4 posts a week from me until the season starts to hot up again. Kick your feet up and stay awhile. Tomorrow’s topic will be a Keltner Test for three undecided Red Sox with marginal Hall of Fame credentials. Or maybe I will just call Dan Patrick a douche again.

I mean seriously, wouldn’t it be fun to ruffle his hair giving him a kidney punch?
