Baseball Blogs

Take me out to the ball or blog game!! Slate has posted a good article on baseball blogs. Be you a
Red Sox fan or a Cubs rube, you can follow your favorite boys of summer with in-depth
Sabernomics articles or even track the next pre-injury Mark Prior through blogs. Some have
been up for years, but they're increasing in popularity and some have even been picked up by
major newspapers.
I see in the blogroll of The Big Red C that MeFite KevinSkomsvold has a Cubs blog.

On further inspection, Kevin just hosts the blog. Carry on.

OK, you could find a blog for every other team in baseball, but not the Mets? And to add insult to injury, the blog for the fucking Devil Rays is called YaGottaBelieve? Bah. Nice links, though.
Bitter? I'm not bitter. Just... patient. Yeah, that's the ticket.

If you're a Mets fan, you have no reason to be bitter. Follow the Brewers, and you will learn the meaning of suffering, fool.

Hey, pal, I grew up a Senators fan—I learned the meaning of suffering before you were born (I'm guessing, based on general MeFi demographics). But it's true, I feel for Brewers fans.

Senator's fan? I guess, by an extreme technicality I'm a Senators fan too since they became the Minnesota Twins. You'd be happy to know that Walter Johnson Bobblehead night is September 19th. See ya at the Metrodome.
There IS a Mets blog link in the title, it's the letter 't' of 'out'. I'm surprised nobody complained about having a different link for every letter since it's a bit of an post faux pas.

I rooted for the Twins all the way through the '60s (and suffered some more when they lost the Series in '65 after beating both Koufax and Drysdale—I think that's when I realized fully that there was no god), and I'm still capable of returning to my ancestral roots when the Mets fail me, as they did in '87. I took much joy in the Twins' success that year, especially when Channel 5's Warner Wolf (who used to be a DC sports guy) held up a handwritten cardboard sign saying "SENATORS WIN!" Wish I could be there to get my bobblehead...

Oh no it's not. The second entry is headed "This is not a Mets blog... but" and his list of baseball interests begins "The Yankees - obviously." Nice try, but I'm still bitter. And old.

You'll get no complaint from me. I still remember Tamim's Bollywood post with fondness.
