If you’ve been around the site before, you know that we started out in this business by writing longer, feature-length pieces, which we will officially be calling ‘articles’ under the new system. Each time one of us writes an article, we will post an announcement here on the main site proclaiming its link location. These posts will contain an article-specific tag, so if you’re looking for an archive by author of our new articles, you can find it via the pull-down menu on the side of each page. End preamble.

With that in mind, I am happy to provide you with a new installment of Mix Tape, my musical top ten list. Enjoy.

Oh good grief.

Found the following link via Deadspin, for the record:

Gotta hand it to that crack staff at the Good Neighbor. I’d seen a few of his comments at Deadspin, checked out his blog, and gotten a chuckle that anyone, anywhere, would name anything after Dan Serafini. Did I ever think for one moment that this person was actually Mr. Serafini? No. In fact, it was really pretty damn obvious that it wasn’t.

Then again, who’s to say that this anonymous man didn’t pitch for the ’97 Twins? They were so bad, it wouldn’t have mattered.

See, even with our new fancy schmancy website we all can find a good reason not to post anything on a given day.  Hopefully days like yesterday will be the exception… 

At any rate, on with the ramblings…

Hey Folks.

We’ve switched our comments to the built-in system (trying to streamline things around here a bit), and I’m sorry to say in the process I destroyed all your old comments.  At least we’ve only been up and running for a week.  All new posts going forward will have comments open, and when I get time I’ll go back and turn ‘em on for the old posts, so you can go back and re-live the glory of past conversations (if you so choose).

For now we’ll have the only requirement be to provide name and email address to post.  If the SPAM gets to be too much, we’ll put something more onerous in place.

Carry on.  (and thanks for your patience.)
