And Now the Moment You've All Been Waiting For...

Much like Mike Tyson, I seem to be surrounded by a great deal of hoopla.
Also like Mike Tyson, it would appear to be much ado about nothing.

I'd like to begin by introducing myself to Richard's other two readers. My name is Lance Richardson, and I've had the fortune (good or bad, depending upon how you look at it) of being a baseball fanatic and Padre devotee for nearly all of my 36 years. All the years I remember, anyway.
I'd also like to thank Richard for inviting me to be a part of this blog. I've enjoyed reading it since his very first post, and I hope to uphold the standard of quality work he has set here. And can you believe the guy is only 19?!?! Why, when I was 19, all I was interested in was... well, that's not really a story for this blog.

I will be posting here, hopefully more than occasionally, with thoughts on the Padres and on baseball. Perhaps even thoughts unrelated to baseball, until Richard tells me that I'm boring the hell out of everyone.

I'll be attending today's game, in outstanding seats a couple rows behind the visitors' dugout. Hopefully our favorite team will provide fodder for my next post.
