But there is no joy in Mudville - mighty Casey has struck out.
But there is no joy in Sun - mighty Tom and Sean are out.
I
don't know how to say this, but I must humbly report that Tom and Sean
will no longer be able to contribute to this blog. To all of our
surprise and sadness, they have departed Sun.
Guys, you will be sorely missed. You are great and kind men - it was an honor and pleasure working with you the past few years.
When you started this cheapseats blog, I was really excited and looking forward to reading your entries. Then I was flattered when you asked me to come in for relief, but I did not expect this to happen. I will embrace this blog and will do my best to keep it alive and interesting. If/when you decide to continue your personal blogs, please let us know so we can maintain a window into your world and insight.
Whatever teams you play for next will be picking up all-stars and they will be lucky to have you.
Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright;
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout;
But there is no joy in Mudville - mighty Casey has struck out.
The final verse of Casey at the Bat by Ernest Lawrence Thayer
Nice entry Jason - much appreciated. That business out of the way, you might want to change the "about" text...
Quite an all-star game last night,no? I never thought anyone would be bigger than Eva Longoria - much less a rookie from Tampa Bay - but Eva(n) Longoria is something else!
Now pls. excuse me while I eat all the bad words I said about JD Drew last season...

Thanks for the kind words Jason. I know with your passion for sports, you will do a great job in keeping the spirit of Cheap Seats going.
Re: Sean's comment on JD Drew. Ditto for me. If I had to take back all the bad things I have had to say about Drew over the years, I would need a semi to haul them all away. Come on JD. Stop making me look bad.
