Most Recent Site Update: Thursday, April 2, 2009... seriously!

Dark eons ahead

• Well, there’s been nothing new since forever, except on the blog, and even that doesn’t get updated much. I haven’t quite decided what to do with either this site or the blog—I mean, do I retire? Do I keep plodding along? Do I suddenly experience a major kick of energy and add all kinds of stuff to both places? Stay tuned. Find out. Or not.
  
  

• EEEEEEgp.blogspot.com: There’s an end-of-season postmortem for 2008 plus some other relatively recent stuff. I hope to update the blog more avidly in the coming months. But then, I always hope that. I hope lots of things.
  
  

The only baseball team of which to be a fan is the San Francisco Giants. That’s a given. But the cost of being forever correct, as Giants fans inherently are, is to suffer. A lot. And loudly. And, apparently, without end. No major league baseball team has gone without winning a World Championship in its current city longer than the San Francisco Giants. Even Cubs fans, whose team last won it all in 1908, have to count at least one among them, somewhere, who remembers their team doing the Big Dance on the Mound. But San Francisco Giants fans? No. Evidently it’s against the law or something.

To find out a bit more of what we’re about, please read “EEEEEE! -- An Introduction.”

I usually announce updates on the Giants Usenet newsgroup. If you’re a first-time visitor, or even if not, please drop a note on the blog to let me know what you think.

Important notes (well, important to me, anyway):

• Guess what? Instead of doing season notes, I’ve followed the suggestion of a brave few who figure I ought to turn this site into some kind of blog. So I’ve done that: From now on the “fresh” stuff will be at EEEEEEgp.blogspot.com, which you know if you read the stuff above. I don’t figure to add much to this site, which really has become an archive of the material I (and others) wrote between 1996 and 2005. The last major thing I added here was The 2005 Postmortem! You might find it fun because of the Sports Illustrated Baseball game angle.
  
• I still get e-mails from readers—believe it or not, new readers sometimes—which have the effect of making me feel a little guilty for having let EEEEEE! lie fallow for so long. I hope to rectify that fairly soon, but then I always say that. But at least I should do a new logo or something. Meanwhile, the navigation bar to the left will bring you to tons of stuff, mostly written between 1996 and 2001, I’m sorry to say.
  
• Please let me know if you come across any dead links.
  
• The XBL, tragically, seems to have died on the vine, or at least gotten ill and grumpy. That doesn’t mean it’s done for yet, though. On the other hand, it also doesn’t mean there’s anything new there. I look at it wistfully every so often, so hey, you can too. The XBL was my spoofy response to the XFL, which has now become so lost in the mists of time that nobody remembers it.
  

EEEEEE!search

Well, I’m trying to add this Google-based search engine to the site, but it sure doesn’t seem to come up with much.
