Beginning August 1, 2009, the blog known as Tacoby Bellsbury will be changing formats. As you all know, Tacoby Bellsbury started off as a hilarious play on words upon the stolen base taken by Jacoby Ellsbury resulting in free tacos for the United States of America.
As the blog matured, Tacoby Bellsbury took on what seemed to be at the time, a mortal enemy, in the form of the blog Blastings Thrilledge. Unknowingly, Tacoby Bellsbury stole second base on a diamond casted by an underground faction of bloggers who also based their workings on clever titles based on the names of professional athletes.
After the legendary article regarding Kenny Lofton, his golf game, and his lack of a tenure with the Montreal Expos, a mutual respect was formed between Tacoby and Blastings. Admittedly, Tacoby Bellsbury was not a blog that lived up to the hype. Most recently, a pair of posts regarding Red Sox starter Brad Penny have illuminated the world wide web.
However, this blogger feels like he does not do justice in the wide world of sports blogging. At one time I called myself not a blogger but in fact a sportswriter, and a pretty good one, for my university newspaper. Perhaps that was my thought process behind starting my own sports blog, perhaps it was nothing more than a fleeting taco.
July 31st is a day which will be shared by two relatively monumental occasions: the MLB trade deadline and the final day in which Tacoby Bellsbury has anything to do with sports. Last night, I ate a satisfying meal for only $2. Coincidentally, I am a poor poor bastard seeing as our economy is still in the crapper and I just bought a car. Rent ain't cheap either. Also, I am not in poor man's shape, I have a few pounds to spare. I am willing to bet the majority of sports bloggers are in the same situation or at the very least, aren't getting many chicks, if you know what I'm saying.
I'm starting to ramble, I won't admit that I might be getting choked up here because I mean seriously guys Brad Penny is a f*ckin robot man. But I can't write about this stuff, no more articles about Kenny Lofton's swing, or Sam winning my phony contest (Sorry Sam there's no way in hell you're getting any type of prize) and Brad Penny's consistent role as major league douche bag.
Tacoby Bellsbury will now be a blog about the poor man's diet.
