It's been real

Well, the time has come. The Lineup Card has run its course, and it's time for the noble scribe to hang up the pen. OK that was a bit hyperbolic, but the fact is there simply aren't enough hours in the day to keep up with the blog.

I have been neglecting The Card for some time now, and I just can't allow this to happen any more. The posts have been falling off for a few months, and the truth is, they would have basically become nonexistent until summer as I become consumed with traveling for work.

I started this blog to rant about Manny and the Red Sox, and I had some fun boring you with my many other opinions along the way. Thank you loyal readers for your support and comments. I probably would have given up before this if it weren't for your nagging and jokes.

Like MJ once said, I am 99 percent sure this is the end for The Card. I will always leave room for a comeback though. Check back as the hot stove heats up a little later in the winter, but for now I'm going to pull a Brett Favre and tearfully walk away (for now).
