Macho Row:
Do not let the title mislead you. Macho Row is not going to be taking a rest this off-season. But there will be some changes implemented around here before spring training kicks up next spring.
First, I would like to thank all of you who have stopped by to read my personal take on the Philadelphia Phillies, left a comment at any time, followed along on Twitter and joined the Facebook page. As you may know this was the first season for this site and I am thrilled at the progress it made in such a short time.
To me it is not exactly about the stats or the numbers, but I am touched when I see the readership growing. I realize there a number of great sites that are already well established that do a terrific job so the fact that you find some time to stop by this site, likely in addition to the others, means a lot to me.
I hope you have found that I am balanced and fir, but if not I will work on that in the future. I have a deep passion for the Phillies and baseball in general and I hope I have let that come across to you this season. I had fun running this site throughout the season and did it more as a hobby than anything else. There are no plans to shut this site down. In fact from here there is only more growing to do.
I will still do my best to provide my own take on the Phillies this off-season as roster moves are made, free agents are signed and maybe a trade or two are made. for a glimpse at some ideas I plan on putting together this off-season are below, but there will be more added in time...
Again, thank you for continuing to support Macho Row by reading what I am writing. I hope you stick with me this off-season and come back for the 2010 run back to the World Series!
Sincerely,
Kevin
