Rollin' the Gaslamp Ball

PrintYou've probably noticed that Dex hasn't been posting regularly since he moved back to San Diego last summer. He has a new job, a young kid and a lot of responsibilities that have kept him from even reading Gaslamp Ball for quite some time. I've been trying take up the slack, but feel like I'm not doing a very good job of it.
I enjoy moderating the site and working with SB Nation but never wanted to blog alone. It was a buddy thing and when one buddy can't make the commitment, some of the drive is lost.
Dex and I are going to pull a John Moores and remain in control of Gaslamp Ball, act as liaisons to SB Nation and moderate when we can but our daily blogging will effectively end. We may still blog on the rare occasion, but it will mostly be done on Uncommon Sportsman.
Don't worry though we've selected two Gaslamp Ball readers to write for the site, two guys that love the Padres as much, or a little bit more than you, to be authors. If you scroll to the bottom of the page you'll see that we've promoted Winfield's Ghost and sdsuaztec4.
I think you'll agree it will be good to have two full time writers, who are really close friends, blogging about their Padres. It's a "buddy thing" again.
We look forward to their Padres coverage!
Go Pads!

Too bad
real life is catching up with you guys. I really liked your blogging, so a sincere “thank you” seems in order here. I’m also looking forward to the blogging of ‘tec and WG, I’m sure they’ll do great…

Oh, I get it
Now that Uncle Sporty has grown in page views and visits for the fourth straight month, you’re commandeering the ship!
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔

Actually, these are all very good suggestions.
Maybe you guys should take over.

It's a done deal

You know I have no clue what I'm doing or even writing about...
I’m perfect for it.

I am completely amazed...
that some woman let Dex have sex with her.

If "sex" means
sticking things up Dex’s butt, then apparently so.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
