Fellow Phillies fans,
Today I officially announce that Macho Row, after only a little over a season and a half (plus spring training), will be ceasing production effective immediately. The reasons for this decision are not based on the performance of the baseball team we love and I am not exactly ditching my coverage of the Phillies.
As you may know I have been splitting my attentions many different ways over the past few months, and the time has come to consolidate and focus more on what is best for me. Before the start of the 2010 season I joined up with some local newspaper companies to launch a community sports blog to focus not only on Philadelphia sports but the local sports scene. I believe that to ultimately get the most out of the site it would be unfair for me and my new partners to provide deeper coverage of the Phillies on a separate site, thus leaving the community page in the dark. So I have decided that the best move for all involved is to move forward concentrating more on Second String Blog and shut down Macho Row.
This decision was not a particularly easy one for me, but I feel confident that it is the right decision. Managing as many websites by a one man team has been a little more taxing than I initially planned, so taking Macho Row out of the mix, while not easy to do, will ultimately be a good move.
I thank you for your support as I grew the site from the ground up and expanded the reach of the site. If you have enjoyed Mcho Row I hope you will continue to follow my Phillies thoughts, opinions and coverage on Second String Blog, where I will be devoting just as much care to covering the Phillies the way I have been doing. There will be some changes and some adjustments made, but you will still hopefully feel at home on the new digs.
Again, thank you for your support and feedback. I have made some friends with many of you through this online forum and hope to continue with those relationships on the new home.
Go Phillies,
Kevin McGuire
