Two Quick Things About How I'm Really Important

1) After liveblogging the Home Run Derby last night, I'm going to give it another go by liveblogging the All-Star Game today. You can find it over here, beginning shortly before the game, or shortly after it starts, or hell I don't know when. The upside is that I figured out liveblogging makes time fly by. The downside is that the game is going to be like at least twice as long as the derby so I might spend the final few updates trying to figure out how to .gif me killing myself.

2) Also during the game, I'll be participating in a chat with Adam Morris (Lone Star Ball), Will McDonald (Royals Review), Eric Stephen (True Blue LA), Sky Kalkman (BtB), and Eric Simon (Amazin' Avenue). What's curious about this chat is that it isn't live, and the transcript will be posted tomorrow, long after anyone's stopped caring about the All-Star Game. What isn't curious is that I agreed to do it, since we're all chatting on awesome new Blackberries and they're paying us a little. I will literally do anything for money. I think I got in the wrong business.

How I manage to balance a live chat with a liveblog, of course, is anyone's guess, including my own. I sit here before you, terrified. If I can pull it off, though, I think that pretty clearly makes me the greatest anything blogger of all time.

In other words, tonight I will be texting a bunch of dudes for five hours

Nice one, brah

This is the gayest thing I've ever done and I once did a modeling shoot for Brooks Brothers
You have weird friends.
You strike me more as an Eddie Bauer for Gay Men sort of model.
It wasn't my decision
Robert is now trying to find these photos.
And I really hope he does
Here's a hint, Robert:

Be. More. Specific.
Yeah we talked to Christina when we were trying to find your address but she said that she lost touch with you years ago.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Hell, while I'm here

My thoughts on Steinbrenner

I’m doing a lot of writing over there this week.

So when does SB Nation change their name to Sullivan Nation?
*change its name
Wow, this is perfect:

“They say Yankees fans act spoiled and entitled, but who can blame them? George Steinbrenner was their grandpa, and for a while it seemed like every day was Christmas. Every so often the gift would be a stinker, but no one ever gets tired of unwrapping presents.”

This writing thing seems too easy for you, You should challenge yourself.

Participate in the liveblog by only using sports cliches through the whole thing.

I think that might work better for the chat

One-liners!

In the chat you should refer to yourself exclusively in the third person
And talk to everyone in first person
I would go crazy if my only form of communication was using a phone to text.
I hope you make a lot of threatening Grass Creek references to Will during the chat
Welcome to the 21st century Fagtron.
