After a much-needed break from this place I'm ready to get back on that blogging horse again.  I'm ready to boot EoC back up to the mediocre blog it once was.  But more importantly I'm ready to bring back the esoteric style of Thunder Matt's Saloon.  In the past month or so I've gone back through the old archives at TMS, reading posts from 2007 and 2008.  I couldn't help but laugh like a bastard at some of the old classics we wrote.  Forever it seems I've tried to drive TMS and now EOC away from the oddball crap and towards the true content we claimed to cover, which I've been told is the Chicago Cubs.

But I've realized something.  I'm a moron.

I love the Cubs, and I enjoy writing a blog about the Cubs.  But what I really enjoyed was that our crew has always had free reign to write about virtually anything else on their mind.  And for the most part, the small contingency of loyal readers we had seemed to enjoy that as well.

There's no which way around it.  We are a terrible Cubs blog.  But we were once a truly great terrible Cubs blog.  And with a little effort and renewed fire, we can achieve that greatness again.

Now who's with me?
