Maybe I’m overly obsessive, but I feel compelled to write this note for the edification of my readers–so here goes.
Predictably, Dirty Laundry gets a lot of hits to the baseball topic at this time of year. From what I can tell, people go searching under players’ names–Jorge Posada, Mariano Rivera, etc.–and they’re led to my posts about those specific players. Because of a minor dust-up involving Posada’s catching with one particular pitcher, his name is searched hundreds of times daily. Posada happens to be my favorite player, and I’ve posted about him several times over the years. Thus, people seeking a juicy story of conflict between the catcher and Yankee pitchers end up reading about his shoulder surgery last year, his son’s medical condition, or simply what a great guy he is. I’m fairly certain this is not what readers went looking for.
It’s not my fault! Forgive me! Please!
Oh god, I’m probably making things worse by adding yet another Posada tag to my blog!
See, I told you I’m obsessive. I actually feel guilty about this situation. Also, if you’re looking for stories about Posada’s big crisis, you may not find any, since it’s not that big a deal.
Anyhow, IJWTS I’m sorry if your time was wasted. But do stay awhile…read other posts, about baseball, or motherhood, or sex. Dirty Laundry has something for everyone.
And go Yankees! Tonight’s the night!
