i added a few sports blogs a little while back to my impossible mess of a weblog. theyre in the last orange tangle on the left below the set of *ahem* related blogs. most of them are baseball blogs. i guess it stands to reason that baseball fans are the literati of sports fans. most of the links are to metsblogs as that is the team im supposed to care about more than the others. others are more general interest. a fair amount of the baseball blogs are saber or statistically oriented. the bill james movement online is equalled only by howard deans in the rabidness of their true believers.

(maybe not so) suprisingly i have received two reciprocal links which is nice since ive been generally lame of late in upkeep around here and there is generally little sports chatter. so thanks to off wing opinion and mikes baseball rants.

paine in the ask

storm seems a bit more fierce today. wonder what it must be like to deal with this type of weather with greater frequency. of course by deal i mean avoid. were it not for the poorly insulated windows and the constant draft, i would hardly notice it. they still deliver in a snowstorm, right? what? no? but i have nothing to eat. you wouldnt make me go outside, its inclement. it has to be at least 100 feet to the cafe at the corner. i would hardly call that fair. well, i do have three oranges but that hardly counts as food. am i right?


as long as the toilet paper holds out i think i can make it.

"Most cartoon characters spend their lives falling off cliffs, running into brick walls, and chasing small creatures that are lower on the food chain. The animated antics of the cast of Homestarrunner.com seem to be limited to standing around, eating marshmallows, and writing emails--and that’s just how their fans like it."

major leaguer

bill simmons is consistently the funniest person writing about sports. it must be as a result of all that boston fan angst.

"The Rangers remain open to trading MVP Alex Rodriguez to the Sox, and the Dallas Morning News reported yesterday that Texas would accept Ramirez on the condition Boston "ante up a significant portion" of the $95 million balance of Ramirez's contract over the next five years."

"According to several reports, the Mets will sign Japanese shortstop Kaz Matsui."

class consciousness

"While students tend to experiment with various identities during their college years, Vanderkamp's peers said the accelerated pace of his process of self-discovery is alarming. Since the beginning of the fall term, Vanderkamp has aligned himself with no fewer than nine social groups, and has adopted a new wardrobe and a distinct set of speech patterns to accompany each identity."

"Some of the newly discovered fossil mammals represent the last holdouts of species thought to have gone extinct millions of years earlier while others mark the first evidence for the few truly classic African species that survived the Eurasian invasion and evolved into today's famed beasts, such as the elephants."
