For the past couple of seasons, this web site (as well as striketwo.net and faircatch.net) has been an outstanding hobby. I've learned a ton, met some really talented bloggers, and had a great time doing it. The only downside was that I could never seem to find enough time to follow through on all of my ideas.

Over the holidays, I worked with my wife Erin to flesh out one of these concepts: building a much bigger and better social media site for sports fans (or lowpost 2.0). After discussing it with several advisors over the course of January, we decided to take the plunge. I quit what was a terrific day job so that we can both pursue this new venture full-time.

The new site is named Ballhype, and we're working night and day to get things ready for the launch. We've just begun to open up the beta period, so please drop a quick note if you're interested in participating. We'd love to get your feedback.
