So in the midst of a day spent mostly trying to tie up loose ends before I head to Port St. Lucie next week, I changed the color scheme here. I had grown pretty attached to the handsome autumnal tones (which, my wife will tell you, are also the colors of the furniture in our extremely masculine living room, since everything needs to match Vin Diesel and Usher Riding Into Battle on a Chariot Pulled By White Tigers, the obvious focal point of the room [it really ties the room together]), but with Spring Training on the horizon and all I figured I should probably switch to something more baseball-appropriate.

Problem is, bright colors hurt my eyes and I stare at this site for a good portion of the day, so I had to keep ’em reasonably neutral. And I like to keep the colors distinct from Mets colors because this isn’t technically a Mets blog.

First I had a darker blue with gray accents (whatup Hoyas), but some early Twitter feedback said it looked too much like a Yankees blog that way. So I worked in some green, because, you know, baseball.

Now I’ve looked at it and tweaked it so many times that I can’t decide if I like it or if I’m just sick of futzing with it, so I’m going to go with this for a little while and see how it plays.

Half of you read the site on RSS anyway, so in that case carry on. But if you hate it or love it or it gives you a seizure, let me know.
