Around SBN: Trent Richardson Interviews Fellow Brown Brandon Weeden

Hi, I'll be your host this week!

As Ian said yesterday, he'll be running off the Emerald City to see the Wizard Ichiro this week, and he left the keys to the fancy blog in my hands and said, "Don't crash it!" I'll try not to drive not to fast, dude! But seriously, I've been a fan of Ian's baseball writing going back several years to Sweaty Man Endeavors, a blog that focused on a bunch of Detroit sports, and I've been a daily reader of Bless You Boys ever since he took over. So I'm honored to step in for the week and write for it.

You may know me already from the comments section here. Or maybe, you've (please please please, I hope!) visited my blog, Mack Avenue Tigers (wait, that didn't sound desperate, did it?), which I've been running since 2006. I'm a SABR at heart, but not too good with coming up with fancy charts, so I stick more to what we can see. Writing two blogs for the week, I won't be able to keep up with the voracity you've come to expect here, but I'll do my best to keep content fresh at both sites, including writing the game threads, postgame and any big breaking news here. I'll be doing my normal recaps and analysis at Mack Avenue Tigers, too, so feel free to read both blogs daily. Things should look, more or less, like normal here for the week. Except, I have discovered there's a bunch of crazy toys Ian has been hording for himself. Such as:

So I'll try to have fun with some of this stuff this week, too. Hope it's a fun week for all of us!

Happy to have you for the week, Kurt

Your blog is awesome and so is this one, so I have no worries that you’re going to do a phenomenal job in Ian’s absence.

Hey, Kurt

I just read in the Freep that Larish got sent down and Rapada brought up?

"It's designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything is new again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops, and leaves you to face the fall alone". A. Bartlett Giamatti

Tigers needed a lefty, since Seay has been used a lot

and the Yanks and Indians lineups both have some scary left-handers.
