My first blog..O.K. Now what?
When Doug Scopel, our Media Relations Director(I'm not sure I have his title right, Doug has picked up so many extra responsibilities over the last few years he may also be U.S. Ambassador to New Guinea for all I know) first brought up the possibilityof me writing a blog I said, "Yeah! Great idea!" I figured I could write a blog detailing life on the road. Then I realized that I pretty much do crossword puzzles and sit in airports and that makes for a pretty boring blog. Though I must mention that the Chick-Fil-A at Gate 11 Terminal C at DFW is tres magnifique`!
So now its a week or so into spring training and I'm staring at my computer screen like the monkey staring at the monolith in 2001 A Space Oddessy. As a matter of fact, if I don't think of something to write soon I'm going to take drastic measures with a club on my own skull.
I would like this blog to be interesting. I want this blog to hold peoples attention. I suppose I share something in common with the average reader in that I and you, dear reader, both love baseball. So I guess thats what I will spend a good deal of time covering in this blog....baseball. I'm not the sort to blare out opinions as fact though I could generate a larger response if I just took a contrary point of view from reality. Writing that Frank Kremblas is a lousy manager with no grip on his team and a lousy toupee to boot would generate plenty of response to be sure, but it would also be untrue. Frank relates incredibly well to his players and walks the tightrope that a minor league manager has to walk between winning ballgames and developing players as well as anybody I have seen in my 14 plus years in this sport. Besides, he doesn't wear a toupee.
If you have any ideas at home about what YOU would like to read about, please drop me a line at chuck@nashvillesounds.com. I'm desperate for ideas.
