Every “season preview” is an experiment for me. Experiment in styles and formats. For a long time, I tried to highlight key bits of information. For this season I’ve decided to take a complete 180, go barebones and focus on entertainment – or what I hope is entertainment. This is basically just an edited conversation [...]
Ok, spring preview. This is typically my soapbox to bitch about how it’s incredibly late, how putting it together is a pain in the ass, and how the new season is going to suck. But… hey, baseball has begun so might as well kick back and enjoy. Plus, the new season doesn’t look that bad. [...]
After much consternation and soul searching about whether another preview post is even worth the effort, the season preview is back.

Sea Slugs! has a really nice summary of the major Spring 2009 shows debuting. So does Bokutachi. And if you do a google search, you’ll find a handful of other blogs that have done really nice write ups as well. And if you’re really interested about everything that’s playing, Metanorn has an image with all [...]
