this is your blog-within-a-blog, as we sbnationers like to call 'em. you get whatever it is off yer chest (w'in the bounds o good taste of course) and then take the pats on the back or the shots to the chops (or both, all depends) from the readers.

how: just click on the post diary link in the righthand sidebar, type it in, hit the send button. then log in obsessively the restotheday to see how your wisdom is going down

why: why? because we need more voices on this blog than just mine --- and we need more (and smarter) voices in cardinaldom than bmiklasz's and jeff gordon's. opinions, points of view, information, funny shit, sad shit, shit that happened to you at the game, shit that happened while you were watching the game in a bar . . . . . just all kinds of shit. remember: baseball and blogs are for the suffer-shit-gladly portion of your life. and it's so much better to suffer together . . . .
