Writing about baseball

This isn't a blog, but not in the Murray Chass sense of not being a blog. It's not a blog because my HTML skills are very very poor, and to get this to look how I want it to look, I use skills I learnt in 1999, thus there's no comments and stuff; things that I think are essential for something to be called a blog.

This is more of an experiment than anything. I know I can draw about baseball and make charts about baseball, but writing about baseball games... I don't know. But, living in Mexico City for the time being, it seems like a good opportunity to write about baseball down here.
