From USS Mariner’s latest post:

At the same time, I have to admit that I’ve been a little at a loss for ideas for things to write about. Until the season ends and the rumor mill for GM candidates cranks up, there’s not a lot for us to do but watch the season wind down. Even the September call-ups will be a welcome infusion of possibilities and things to watch (including Morrow, Starting Pitcher!).

So here’s the scoop: if you’ve donated, whatever the amount, and there’s something you’d like to see me write about in the next week or so, either drop us an email or comment here. I’ll try and cover as many as we can, but no less than 1/day, for the next week or so. I might batch short questions up or whatever, but we’ll see how it breaks out.

I’m glad I’m not the only one in the blogosphere struggling to come up with things to write.  I’ve been receiving a few emails and IMs lately from readers wondering why the amount of content has been dropping off lately, and it’s simply because there isn’t a lot of things related to the 2008 Mariners worth writing about.  Most of what I start writing nowadays would be better suited for the dead times between the end of the season, the hiring of the new GM, and the Winter Meetings. 

It’s funny that USSM’s DMZ is encouraging topic suggestions, because I had originally done the same thing in the post before this.  I ended up editing it out right before posting, but I guess I’ll open it back up.  If there’s anything you’d like me to research for you or write about feel free to throw it out there. 

Also, if you would like to write a post, feel free to send it in.  Longtime reader Zev (username Mariners711) proposed the idea recently, and I think it would be a good opportunity to extend to everyone.  It would be a fun experiment and a great way to work some fresh ideas and alternative perspectives into the site.  You can go ahead and email your posts to me at bleedingblueandteal[at]gmail.com.  All I ask is that you’re a registered user.

Can’t wait to hear from you!
