Shaking off the Baseball Rust

by Jon Shepherd

Sorry to be the one to bear the news, but Slate is currently warping across the Attican Traverse fighting aliens of all kinds in an effort to restore galactic peace and civility. He might be back in about 2 weeks, but honestly it'll take at least 60 game hours of high action, deep intrigue and a really good chance at getting it on in space. Trust me, I know, he even does the stupid side missions meant just waste your time. All of them.

Anyway I was given some instructions to talk about baseball.

Did you know that pitchers and catchers report in 2 weeks? Seriously. The Super Bowl hasn't even been played yet and baseball is starting to get ready. That being said, a ton of moves have been this offseason and eventually this site will try to unravel the confusion and eventually they will even make some predictions.

Here's a teaser for you: The Nationals will easily lose 105 games while Adam Dunn rolls on to being a top 20 fantasy baseball player. It will be done solely because Adam Dunn is a cool guy and everyone feels bad for him for being stuck in the nation's capital.

Baseball will be more than just an occasional talking point on this fine site. In fact, there is an official PLS fantasy baseball league wherein we will keep you updated as to the goings-ons. They all, including Annie, love baseball and talking about it gives each one a varying degree of pleasure. Full disclosure: Talking about the Yankees gives Red a raging clue.

Anyway, Slate will be back eventually. Right now he is on approach to the Citadel in the Serpent Nebula. 52 hours and counting.

  1. I wish I had an Xbox360. I hear ME2 is amazing.

    Anyway, I look forward to this group talking baseball. Baseball envokes, perhaps, not as much emotions as college football. But I think this site's staff can do it.
