The “Times” Lands 10 Seed in The Phield
March 16th, 2010 by MattThe fun of filling out a March Madness bracket has created the opportunity for all sort of iterations of the seeding and one and done mentality of the NCAA tournament.
More often times than not, these types of brackets are annoying and stupid.
But not when The Shibe Times gets a 10 seed in the Lauber Region of The Phield. Sweet!!!
I’m going to need some serious help from my miniscule legion of readers, my Mom, and whoever else has an internet connection. I am up against Phinally Philly, an all-Philly sports blog with a killer design and far more updated content than this thirty-something father of 3 with no co-bloggers can muster.
There were 65 blogs (naturally) chosen for the bracket, and that certainly doesn’t cover all of the Phillies blogs out there. So I was happy to be seeded PERIOD, let alone get greedy for a better seed. Based on my less than robust posting frequency during the offseason, I gotta love a 10 seed.
Anyway, I don’t know which day our matchup will be, but this is a David vs. Goliath matchup. Phinally Philly has 2400 followers on twitter. I’d love to get to 150 by opening day.

Good luck to you today.
You have a nice site here. Didn’t realize you were trying to do this with 3 kids. Good luck with that.
While a competition per se, The Phield has opened my eyes to a lot of under the radar Phillies sites.
Look forward to beating you today, but also to your posts this year.

Matt,
First, thank you for the kind words about Phinally Philly. It’s great to receive feedback from fellow bloggers, especially when so positive. Second, I commend you for your work here on TST, I can only hope that at your age and with full time commitment to family on top of many other responsibilities, I can also produce material as compelling as you do about your passions.
All the respect in the world,
Roman

Well, to clarify, I’m not raising those three kids all by myself. Then I’d never be posting! Thank God for my wife….
