Meta Musings On The Blogger-Friendly Mets Front Office
The Mets' new blogger-friendly approach has become a discussion topic during the offseason lull. Some have raised questions about the new policy on other blogs and in the Amazin' Avenue comments, most entertainingly summarized by I.M. Forme at his blogspaceplace: I may now be the only one even...
In Which We Get Excited About The Impending Season
Finally, the season is nearly here. I had hoped to get a couple of preview-y type posts up this weekend, but a combination of warm weather, schoolwork and just general procrastination looks to have killed those. I'll attach abbreviated versions of those posts at the end of this screed. As you've...
Meeting of the Minds
It's been said (often by myself) that one of the great things about blogging, and conversely the flat tire slowing the newspaper's stock car, is the speed of the medium. I mean how can you compete with a turnaround as short as one week? You can't. I'd apologize or offer an excuse -- this past week...
Nominations for Game/Thread of the Year
I've taken a bit of holiday break here lately, but I thought a we could use a little discussion since the Sox aren't exactly providing us with any. I thought about running a poll for game of the year, but that would probably a run away winner. I'd still like to look back on a few games,...
Ruminations on Rumors (w/ Bonus Vazquez Rumor)
Scanning Google Reader -- Suck it, Bloglines! -- over the past 24 hours, I came across a couple of related entries from two completely different type of sites. I thought about posting them separately as FanShots, but I thought they combined to frame a more robust discussion about the baseball rumor...
Unnamed Scouts Confirm Our Critical Thinking, Gonzales Reports
Yesterday, I got an email from a young female student at DePaul who wanted to conduct some type of interview with me for an "online journalism" class (as if anything we do here is journalism). I may have inadvertently scared her away thanks to my sarcastic response about her trying to...
A couple of ESPN notes
Keith Law has some notes from the AFL, and has comments on a couple of Rangers prospects: • Texas outfielder Julio Borbon has great bat control and should make a ton of contact, and he covers a ton of ground in center. His plate discipline isn't great, however, and he has at best a 40 arm,...
SB Nation is Your MLB Playoff Hub
Within the last hour, the team here at SB Nation has launched a new site to aggregate all of the latest content from the various playoff clubs. I'm supposed to have a preview up there for its launch, but c'mon, you guys know me, I'm just a tad bit superstitious. And there was no way I was...
I got nothin'
I don't feel like I have anything to say tonight, but I thought I should throw up a new thread. Here are some thoughts from Roger Ebert on the wonders of blogging. I started this blog in May, and it has enriched my life. I have been astonished by the high quality of the comments received. I have...
Let's Forget This Weekend
I'm sitting here procrastinating, reluctant to put fingers to keyboard, watching SportsCenter on ESPN. They're doing a story on rabid fans and their plans for the afterlife. They've profiled some fans having their ashes spread on an English football pitch, others being buried in a special area next...
