Hey everyone, I just wanted to take a minute or two and let everyone know about my future here at the Crawfishboxes. Well, the 1st change will be that I am no longer going to be a major contributor here. I started writing here about 2 years ago(actually, almost exactly 2 years ago) at the request of every one's favorite writer, Rastronomical. He needed someone to take over some of the duties of the blog and I was happy to come along... but before I was writing here, I had my solo gig at the MLBLogs platform where I paid $5 a month to blog(yea, I paid to blog... sad really). The readership wasn't anything like it is here and I was happy to be able to spread my "wisdom"(that's in quotations to express the sarcasm) to a bigger crowd.
Well... that time is over. I really do enjoy the back and forth with the readers here and have made some really good friends in the Astros community because of it. But, when it comes down to it... this is and has always been a hobby for me... and hobbies are supposed to be fun. and I'm just not enjoying myself here any longer(it's not the readers fault). I haven't been for a couple of months and do not see that changing any time soon... so I basically gave my 2 weeks notice to the owners of SBNation and let them in on my intentions a week or so ago. I'm going back to where I started blogging. If you feel the need to drop in and say hi... you can do so at my "old" blog here -> http://strosbro.mlblogs.com
I'll still be around here for a little while(anywhere between 24 hours and a month or 2) to help out if needed... but I doubt I'll really be needed... so you'll probably see less and less of me. If you have any questions about my departure or just want to drop me a line, you can e-mail me(you can get the e-mail address from my profile, just click on my name).
Au revoir

Sorry to Hear This
and I’m sorry that it didn’t work out for you (especially since I was the one who recruited you).
In a way, it’s like my link to this blog is gone . . . I guess ’cause it is.
I’ll definitely visit you (and post) at your mlbblog.

Stros Bro . . . . . rastro . . .. big part of my last two years
This a sad announcement for me personally and as an Astrso fan and defintely as a regular on TCB.

Thank you for the work you’ve done, Stros Bro, and I hope that Astros blogging becomes fun for you again!
Maybe sometime down the line, you and rastro can collaborate on a re-union post.

you'll be missed
sorry to hear you’re leaving.
lnewcomer - October 29, 2008
Well, that sucks
too bad.

Sorry to see you go
As someone who blogs for a hobby, I completely understand. In anycase, this site will still be here – don’t be a stranger. Pop in for the live game threads and whatnot.
Godspeed man.

Thanks, stros bro.
You had big shoes to fill when rastronomicals left, but you kept the blog running smoothly.
And I appreciate that you got me involved in blogging more this year. I hope to see you and rastro making comments on this site now and then. Both of you always had an interesting perspective to add.

I appreciate it Clack
I was glad when you came on and think your posts were/are an asset to the site.
Stros Bro - October 30, 2008
adios + take care Stros Bro
hope you’ll still join the conversations here at CFB. it’s been nice to have rastro back lately chiming in w/ his POV and it would be a shame to lose your input. I find I often agree w/ your outlook.
Trei Brundrett - October 30, 2008
Thanks Trei
You were a pleasure to work with
Stros Bro - October 30, 2008
Dude
Bummer. You’ll be missed. But I understand, too. Thanks for all your hard work.

You'll be missed bro.
Are you really a Cowboys fan?
Jordan Sams - October 31, 2008
Yea
I’m actually wearing a Cowboys shirt today.
I like the Texans as well, but when I really got into football, there were no Oilers, so I became a Cowboys fan…
Stros Bro - October 31, 2008
That's awesome.
So am I. I had no idea you were a ’boys fan.
Jordan Sams - October 31, 2008
wait
please explain how you’re a philadelphia 76’ers fan, and a dallas cowboys fan. seems like an odd combination, considering how philly fans aren’t known for supporting the cowboys.

I was born and raised in Vegas.
I had no rhyme or reason for picking my teams as a kid. The family that babysat me loved the Cowboys; they were good and I liked Emmitt Smith. I loved Bagwell and Biggio when I was younger and Big time AI fan.
