Mighty Casey Has Struck Out
There is an old poem about an expert baseball player named Casey who made his baseball team lose the biggest game in their league simply because he refused to even bother swinging at the first two pitches and then he missed the third. Perhaps I am being a little harsh, but that is what I am seeing happening to this blog. Sure it seems great at first glance. Then you look and see that the last post was posted back in May. Are we going to act like we're the best but end up flaking out in the end? I don't know if anybody is even bothering to read this, but if you are, please post something, people. The past AP English students and those of the present should all be contributing to this blog. If we are going to decide it's not worth it, then we are going to stumble just like Mighty Casey on his third pitch and end up losing the game.

You are right about no one stepping up to author, though! What's up?
