Welcome Home, Bitches

As is noted above, it's time to come home. Any baseball fan stuck on a coast who is in desperate need of a place to talk about some flyover state baseball, any fan in a flyover state stuck rooting for someone like the freakin' goddamn Cubs because they live on the north side of Chicago and that's all anybody seems to think exists in the baseball world is that goddamn curse and that piss-smelling stadium, or someone just interested in any of the authors of the site (ya know ya are ya dirty bitch), this is your place.

This was going to start as a blog by myself called "The Telescope", about watching the Astros from afar, but apparently fat girls aged 12-14 in 2001-2002 liked the idea of a blog called "The Telescope", and thetelescope.com links to a site about remembering Hurricane Katrina victims. Nixed that right quick.

Okay, some initial housekeeping details before we delve into why Kaz Matsui was the most unnecessary signing by the Astros in their history - I am the Astros guy. I'll also pick up some Royals, Reds, and Twins stuff because I'm a sucker for underachievers (organizations, not players. I root for Northwestern, you're starting to see the picture). I live in Boston, so if you see any East Coast Bias, please fix it in the comments.

As far as the other authors and their allegiances, it will become painfully obvious. And hopefully there will be turf wars.

So that cherry's popped. Let's get down to beisbol.
