Welcome to the spanking new blog Extra Innings and Runs.  My name is Stephen and I’ll be writing on here, sharing time with my friend, and Cubs fan, Jacob.  I’m actually a die-hard Reds fan, so we thought we might be able to provide an interesting twist on the game as we see it.  Most of the time we’ll be focusing on the NL Central, particularly the two aforementioned clubs.  But we will also weigh in on other NL Central teams and the all the other Major League Baseball organizations.  Also, we will both mention a lot about uniforms and stadiums, because they are cool and they make baseball fun.  We not only enjoy the physical and lively aspects of the game, but also the aesthetic facets, too.  

We’re not sure how many people will actually read the crap we spout off, but we hope those who  do will enjoy it.  No matter how many loyal, devoted followers we fail to gather, we both feel like we have things to get off our chests and that’s what blogs are all about.  Neither of us have any idea where this may or may not go, nor do we have any real form of writing experience.  So now that I have given you every reason to not read this blog, I hope you like it.
