Introduction to the blog

I figured I should start this project off with a brief layout of what I'll be doing here at No Heart Ball. I owe most of my inspiration to the website http://www.firejoemorgan.com. I played baseball as a kid and grew up a fan of the Blue Jays and of baseball in general, but it was really FJM that got me into the stats side of it. Today, I think of baseball in a completely different way than I did before.

This blog will, hopefully, be a means for me to express my thoughts on the game. The tone will generally be pretty light but with a stats-oriented focus. There's nothing I hate more than analytical platitudes such as "they got by on grit" or "he has the heart of a champion". The less generic the statement the better it is, in my book.

In terms of the format, I'm hoping to write at least three posts a week. My plan was to start with a Monday-Wednesday-Friday format and see how it goes from there. In-between I will probably make smaller posts but that will be time dependent. Monday and Wednesdays will be original content and then I'm hoping that Friday will eventually become a reader e-mail day. I've set up a gmail account for the website: noheartball@gmail.com so I can be reached there with any baseball related questions you might have. I would also encourage anyone with comments to please post them. I will be very liberal with the comments and will do my best not to censor anyone but if your post is overly obscene, I reserve the right to remove it.

I think that about does it in terms of introduction. I hope you guys enjoy reading it as much as I've enjoyed writing it so far.
