Hello? Hello?

My reputation has proceeded me. I would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to Henry for inviting me to share my arbitrary and capricious musings on the world at large. Seeing as how we have never met, I am pleased that Henry thinks highly enough of me to invite participation in this venture.

Hi, my name is Dan.

I am a cousin-in-law of editor-in-chief of this blog. Nepotism applied.

I live in Billings, Montana. Yes, I live in Montana. I hail originally from a small place named Exton, PA. It was a good place to grow up. However, not good enough it seems as I have escaped 2,200 miles away. I am glad to add a Montana perspective to this east coast-centric operation. Red Sox fans are obnoxious enough, yet they see fit to blog non-stop about their inane fandom. Nobody cares if Kevin Youklis's OPS is 3 points lower in April 2008 than it was for away night games played in domes in April 2006. Red Sox fans do.

That's why I am here. To counter-balance what is sure to be items I disagree with on principle.

More to come.
