Good to see Josh Boyd quoted in the story. He knows his shit. It ain’t just the top guy. This is a FO with deep talent, I hope they can keep them together for a long time.

That’s a pot leaf.

Not to be confused with dumb face, small face is when your face-to-facial area ratio is out of proportion.

That’s what they do, you know.

Durrett used to work for the DMN, but that paper has gone down the toilet like every other paper out there. The best baseball analyzing/reporting is online, and it’s often not the pros, it’s normal people who just love the game, like on this site. Even the daily aggregation AJM does beats the shit out of any media outlet around here. The papers can’t even muster something as simple as that on their online versions. And I don’t mean simple in a bad way, nor do I mean there is no work involved in rounding that stuff up. I just mean having a nice little daily summary is a no-brainer helpful good thing for fans.

LSB is the only place I come to for Rangers news because people love the team and they know what they’re talking about, or if they don’t, or don’t have time to, someone will say – here’s a link that explains it. And compared to other fan sites, it’s really hard to top LSB. I’m not saying that just because I like it or the team, this place truly is high quality with a lot of activity.

Durrett is the one I will always read. He gives solid information. Following up on others leaving newspapers, Richard Justice just left the Chronicle in Houston and is now working for MLB. He says the early deadlines kept him from doing his job on reporting baseball. So in many ways, the newspapers are being wiped out for sports information, even though they have an internet presence.

I always like his interviews, too.
