Anything else you'd like to add? (for those who actually got to see the game...lucky people)

I'm contemplating how to approach documenting the 2010 season. I was thinking the Slice of a Season from last year was good, though my memory was not always able to hold that much information for 9 games. A review by homestand/roadtrip? A review by series? A review by week?

I would also like to try something new. I wish I could see every game (out here on the West Coast it's impossible) to have it real-time, but I was thinking of doing a "Cole Hamels Blog" for each of his starts this year. I would like to follow whom I consider the most enigmatic of the Phillies' starters from the past two years (varying between brilliant and frustratingly maddening). It will also give answer to some questions about other subplots such as "what is a FIP and can Hamels match it?" "is the 5th inning a good time to get up and get a soda?" "how many grimaces until things unravel?" and lastly, "when is a curveball not a curveball?"

Any suggestions, comments, etc?
