New cheerleader assumes Chron baseball beat

NEW CHRON BASEBALL BEAT WRITER Bernardo Fallas introduces himself on the former beat writer's blog.

And if you (rightly) thought the last guy was a cheerleader, get a load of this prose:

The Chronicle has a longstanding history of excellence in covering the national pastime in Houston. It extends from the press box to the Sports Department at 801 Texas.

Of the folks I have had the privilege to meet and work alongside, I'm talking about outstanding professionals, respected and admired colleagues and, above all, great human beings.

As I take on this challenge, I realize I have some pretty big shoes to fill.

Cheerleading is required of sports writers at America's Worst Big City Daily, and Fallas leaves little doubt that he'll be up to the task. And the new beat gets rid of that pesky problem of his cheering on the team that employs his sister.
