WOWNESS, IT'S BEEN ONE YEAR
Well, I'll be damned. Today is the one-year anniversary of Sports and Bremertonians. Simply stunning.
I remember August 17, 2003 very well, not only because of the Sports and B's launch but because on that day, it was the last great moment we've seen from Rafael Soriano. He struck out Nomar Garciaparra on three pitches. You could also say that it was the last great moment for the Mariners as well. After that day, the Mariners went downhill in a hurry, although the demise was already starting.
A year later, we've come to find out that Soriano will have Tommy John surgery, sidelining him until 2006. It's amazing how different the Mariners' fortunes have turned out in just 12 calendar months. But if you read our work and the other bloggers' material during the offseason, you could have seen this coming. Or not. Nobody expected this team to fall off as much as they did. I know I didn't. But it happened.
I'd like to thank each and every one of our readers for coming to Sports and Bremertonians. Because of our readers, I've been able to comment on various topics, including music lists and the "Madden Curse" (see my insane post from Saturday). This isn't just a sports blog. This is an escape.
From Day One, David and I knew this was going to be fun. We've strived not to talk politics at all. We'll leave that to the other bloggers. We just want to talk about sports, music, and other stuff that entertains us. I've always had an opinion, so this is a great outlet for me. Hopefully in a few years, my stage will be even bigger, once I get my degree.
The name of this blog is "Sports and Bremertonians". It gives us free reign to talk about ANYTHING in the sports world. This isn't just a Mariners blog. Nor is it just a Seahawks blog. It's a sports blog, with a Seattle sports twist. This fall, I'll definitely hit on more Arkansas-related sports issues. Which means that I'll try to promote this blog more in the Natural State.
Anyways, thanks for reading our material on a daily basis. Or on a weekly basis. Or on a monthly basis. Whatever is the case, we thank you. Hell, if you've come to Sports and Bremertonians by hitting that new "next blog" link at the top of the Blogger pages, welcome.
Have a great day. The Dude abides.
