Steve, this is a joyful moment for me. As a guy who has been in the trenches, you are THE MOST qualified person to run this blog to date. First things first: let's bring emotion back to the LA Times Dodger Blog. It has been sorely missed. Emotion is every bit as important as statistics in Baseball. If one skews too far the other way, an imbalance occurs. My sincere hope is that, within reason, we as fans can express ALL of the varieties of unbridled opinion, without prejudice or favoritism towards a positive or negative take, even if it is completely off base and unsupported by numeric minutae. Just bring it! This should be a place where fans can rant and rave as much as they need to, as long as others are respected. Even those who may be feisty, again within reason, should let loose some good natured ribbing every once in a while. The world is too serious as it is. Let's bring some humor into this thing. The most important aspect, for me, is that the game as played on the field be respected above all else. The tradition of the players, the sweat and smells of a ballpark, these should be of the utmost priority. The most monumental aspect of baseball is that it is, most of all, a HUMAN game, albeit one with numbers galore. But WHIP, and BABIP and even, SLOB percentages may give us an abstract concept of a player, but if it misses the heart beating in the chest, it misses the heart of the game.

So glad to have you here. I look forward to contributing consistently and with passion. All you loudmouths out there, come on in. The waters fine.

Hi................ hope to read your Dodgers insights, etc

Hear, hear! Great to have you here, Steve. Dodger Tony is right about last year's lack of emotion. Too many silly rules and a stodgy clique of like-minded "baseball intellectuals" (an oxymoron in its own right) sucked all the life out of what was once a thriving community of Dodger lovers (and occasional haters). Looking forward to a clean start!

There was plenty of humor on the Dodger blog beforehand. And emotion. There just wasn't a place for, and I hope still won't be a place for, ranting, attacking other commenters/trolling. I look forward to Steve's thoughts and wish him the best here. There's room for people of all backgrounds and opinions here. Good luck.
