"As with any sport, time will tell what is brought to the table and what happens during the course of a season. Well this season is no different and while things are coming along nicely, there are a few pieces left to be put into place. With that said, beginning today, I will be writing a journal to chronicle the events that happen throughout the season to give everyone who reads this site a brief overview of my thoughts and ideas as the season progresses. Many of the thoughts and ideas will be personal and many will be outspoken. I will do my best not to offend anyone's emotional ego or psyche, but at the same time, I will be honest and forthright with my comments and hopefully that will be an inspiration as well as good water cooler conversation for those bluesy Monday mornings. With that said, please check back periodically because the journal entries will come at anytime." - February 21, 2003

That's how manager Dean Cosme started his beloved Journal Entries that have proven to be the weekly read of the league.  The words were prophetic because that same season Dean started the journals, was the same season that the MD Mets won their first ever Championship in the SFBL.  Many managers and players throughout the SFBL have come to Dean to let him know that they read the journals and news articles.  Some have criticized the journals as being harsh, while others see the reason behind the striking words.  And others, well, they simply find the whole thing humorous. 

Either way, the point of the journals, as so simply stated in the original quote, is to get an insight as to the manager's thoughts throughout the season.  After the Spring 2003 Season was completed, Dean contemplated the idea of shelving the Journals because he thought the idea had run it's course.  But after speaking with several of the players and a few other managers, they convinced him to continue the journals.

So here you have them to read and review, all the journal entries since its inception in February 2003.  Enjoy!
