Comments on: Hey, I’m back … http://joeposnanski.com/JoeBlog/2007/10/05/hey-im-back/ A Rough Draft Blog Tue, 16 Mar 2010 01:02:18 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Chris http://joeposnanski.com/JoeBlog/2007/10/05/hey-im-back/#comment-179 Chris Mon, 15 Oct 2007 15:59:58 +0000 http://joeposnanski.com/JoeBlog/2007/10/05/hey-im-back/#comment-179 Joe, I second what many have already said: it's great to have you back. I kept going back to the Soul of Baseball blog, hoping beyond hope that you might have one or 2 more entries in you. So, stumbling upon this new blog has truly made my Monday. The only thing that is more exciting than the blog, is the news that you're doing your next book on my beloved Reds. As much as I'd like to read your sometime-to-be-written work on Stan Musial, I'm thrilled that the 75 Reds are going to be your next subject. I can't wait. Keep up the good work! Joe,

In Jopo's keen prose even the history of sports in Cleveland is a thing of beauty, and thus, pace Keats, a joy forever. A tip o' the Kangol to a splendid writer then! I'm honored to get to read it.

It would certainly help my schedule if, instead of spending so much time despising BOTH LaRussa and the Yankees, they could be together in one easy-to-loathe package." This is precisely the same thought I had when I heard this rumor. The added bonus would be if the hiring of LaRussa drove Posada and Rivera to sign elsewhere (Slappy McBluelips is going to the highest bidder, so I suspect he's staying put). Then the Mets could sign both of them, hire Torre, bring in Bernie Williams to fill the Julio Franco role, and make things REALLY interesting in NY. “So I’m always looking to consolidate.

If you blogged about your grocery list, I'd still read, and link to the post, and e-mail all my family members about this great new piece of writing. Glad you're back in the blogging world!! Joe,

It didn't take long for you to get bookmarked, and I'll be checking every day. I swear I'll buy a book, as soon as I can get near a bookstore/get a real address.

I know the real reason you came back. You regretted the missed opportunity to write about the Mets epic collapse. I am actually a Met fan who lived through the late 70's, so I am a glutton for punishment. I also believe you have a good friend who is also a Met fan so I am sure somewhere along the line you will add your own comments on the most spectacular collapse in baseball history. Oh yeah a book on the 75 Big Red Machine is great. That was a great that won an amazing World Series. Joe: Happy to have you back. I know the real reason you came back.
