With the demands on my time growing more and more each day, it has become harder and harder for me to keep this blog going by myself. So I asked my fellow Alamedan Philip Michaels of Idiots Write About Sports to join me here on Catfish Stew, and he graciously accepted.

Expect Philip to start adding his humorous rantings here any time now. He’s one of the few writers I know who can regularly make me laugh out loud, and think to myself, “I wish I had written that.” Not to put any pressure on the poor fellow, but I’m confident that as he switches teams, Philip won’t go all Keith Ginter or Antonio Perez on us, he’ll keep putting up the good numbers, and Catfish Stew will be better than ever.
