Maybe I'll get through the whole season this time

I'm bringing the beast back to life.
New season, new blog posts.

Tonight, 8pm Eastern, be here.
I'm live blogging the season opener between the Braves and the Phillies.
You know what's more fun than watching TV?
Watching TV AND typing frantically on the computer about what's on TV.

Google Custom Search

You may have noticed the Google Custom Search thing to the right. You may have wondered if it was different than any other kind of search, Google or otherwise. Here's the scoop:

If you're anything like me you'll be reading an article and come across something that you want to know more about, either to fact check or for mere curiosity's sake. Let's say you're halfway through one of my posts and suddenly you want to look up information for, I don't know, Ron Karkovice. Pop 'er in the custom search and it'll open up a new window (so you won't lose your place in the original post) full of legit search results. "Ron Karkovice" yields results from Baseball-Reference.com and Wikipedia and all those good relevant sites.

But say you want information on pitcher Matt Smith. Holy cow, there must be a zillion different Matt Smiths populating the internet! Put him in the search anyway. Pow... Wikipedia, MLB.com, The Baseball Cube, etc. The search has been tweaked to yield baseball-pertinent results.

Type in "pants" and you'll get BASEBALL pants. Smooth, eh?

Play around with it, use it as a research tool, do whatever.

Game 3 Live Blog Scheduled to Coincide with Game 3

Because circumstances allow it for just this one time, I'm going to live-blog Game 3 of the World Series Saturday right here on this very website. I've done this once before, and it's kinda fun (for me, anyway. I don't know about you poor suckers who choose to read along instead of actually physically watching the game.).

So set your clocks, boot up your harddrives, and mute Tim McCarver. We're gonna have ourselves a jolly ol' time.
