A good friend of mine convinced me to co-write his recently launched New York vs. Boston sports blog. It’s called, fittingly enough,
You’re Wrong About Everything. The point of the blog, at least as of this writing, is to offer our respective geographical, sports-based biases up for criticism. It’s mostly going to be a baseball blog, since, as Ben pointed out, the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry is clearly the most active one, but he and I plan on arguing throughout the year about whatever’s on the back page, kind of like he and I have always done. More often than not, we’ll try to see the other person’s point of view, and even acknowledge when one of us makes a salient point (To wit: “Joe Girardi hasn’t quite figured out this whole managing thing”) but we will, of course, go into it the bloggerific debate knowing full well that the other is completely incapable of being reasonable and, most likely, completely full of shit. (“Seriously, man, Jonathan Papelbon is just a total douche”).
Ben and I are, for the most part, reasonable young men, and we’ll more than likely keep our discussions above board. But, as my girlfriend recently pointed out, our little online experiment will be more fun if we talk copious, borderline offensive amounts of shit. In her words, “You’ll need more ‘Jacoby Swallows’.” What can I say? I do as I’m told.
The blog's already up and running, although the design looks like it was put together by one of Brett Pedroria’s
little friends. Oh, man, this is going to be fun. Please check it out whenever you get the chance. In the meantime, I’ll still be posting here as often as I can.
