Welcome, Brendan Scolari

If you've read this site and its comments for the past few months, surely you have noticed one of our more insightful commenters, who uses the screen name bablue.

Well, bablue's real name is Brendan Scolari, and he is a college student in northern California.  He's a Dodger fan living in Giant country, so he offers a unique persepctive on the blue crew.  We are happy to have Brendan writing with us now.  The youth movement is in full effect here at True Blue LA!

Look for his articles shortly, and be sure to welcome him aboard.
