It is years from now.  The players are gone.  The crowds are gone.  Citizens Bank Park has become, as well suspected and feared, a haunted carnival.  A monstrous Danys Baez lives somewhere underneath the ruins of the right field bleachers, terrorizing trespassers with his horrific tales what seemed at times to be truly endless inadequacies.

What has happened here, in the former home of joy, where red pinstripes once paraded down Broad Street, and the Phanatic tried to get us all to second base?  What apocalypse of enthusiasm has brought us this bitter grey skyline, backdropping the shambles of a dynasty built on victory and open mockery?

The answer:  A matter of time.  If we’re not careful, Philly’s gonna get Cleveland’d.

Yes, adoring public, this is a blog post about other blog posts that don’t exist yet, but like the 2011 Phillies, that doesn’t mean you can’t get prematurely excited over it and assume the best.  As we lovingly enter this fresh new set of games, shouts, and lies, let us find guidance in a document written by me and appearing on this website.

Now let’s all reflect on the beautiful things to come on this website by having a great weekend.

Woooooo weekends.
