Thanks for the feedback Nick and especially the phrase about "the blog we have here" ... you go amig-O ...
One thing that moved me a notch toward being willing to incorporate a bit more philosophy -- wandering around in the Bill James Online site.  Along with the 80% baseball, James doesn't hesitate for a moment to answer questions on Ron Paul, on automatic traffic tickets, on the Federal Reserve, on the Rolling Stones, etc.
James' logic on EVERY life question thrown at him is fascinating, and his readers eat it up.  They're all friends there and they talk mostly baseball, but will talk politics, music, whatever, simply because the level of thought (all around) is so riveting and instructive.
Tom Tango -- a regular at BJOL -- has followed suit by including non-baseball posts on his blog.  He simply starts the post off with "non-sports post here" or somesuch.

Not saying that SSI needs to become 20% non-baseball.
But in a situation like this, where we all know each other so well now, non-baseball discussions can work well even though it's primarily a Mariners blog.  :- )
