Some of you who are relatively new to Dodger Thoughts (actually, I'm sort of amazed that my audience has continued to grow during the offseason) may wonder why Priorities and Frivolities is included among the many baseball links. This Spring, its author, Robert Garcia Tagorda, burst upon the Dodger blogging scene like Edwin Jackson - only older - dazzling us with his insightful repe-twa.

Since then, Tagorda's Priorities have shifted to the political, but he still remains one of the best blog reads on the Web. As I've written before:

On some issues, he and I fall on different sides of the political spectrum; on others, we are close. In either case, I never fail to learn something from his material. ... Political references has been deliberately kept from Dodger Thoughts. But if you have any interest in what's going on outside of the basepaths, read Robert.

And, Robert promises me that he's not done writing about baseball yet.
