Tommy Boy Returns!
World Deadspin Headquarters — usually a dank, gloomy sort of place, not unlike Dracula's castle or the DMV — feels like Disneyland today. That's because Tommy Lasorda is back at the controls of his MLB Blog. We can hardly contain our excitement. Tommy, who is supposed to be running the site's sig...
The English Patient
Far be it from us to get all Alistair Cooke on you — we make mistakes too, after all — but it's time something was said. The English language is not a toy, and spell-check was invented for a reason. Yes, we're referring to you, MLB Blogs. And specifically to you, Matthew's Nation. A recent post: ...
Anarchy Reigns At MLB Blogs
Has anyone seem Tommy Lasorda? We're starting to get a little worried — he's supposed to be running the flagship blog at MLB Blogs, but hasn't posted since July 27. One imagines his tan Sierra found abandoned in Laurel Canyon, the driver's side door hanging open suspiciously and a trail of fast fo...
The French Connection
We've been following the MLB Blog l'ecriture sans calmants for some time now, and we have to say, we're a fan. We love the fact that it's written entirely in French. And we love that the author, Pascal Uccelli, seems to be a hopeless and inept gambler (allow us to translate): ...
Welcome To Phoenix. We Hate The Home Team Here
Baseball blogs come in a few basic varieties. You have the committed fan (Bleeding Pinstripes), the starry-eyed kid (Look Who I Just Interviewed!) and those who have given up entirely and abandoned all perspective and self-respect (I Am Begging the Cardinals to Win the World Series). But rarely d...
Charting The Stars With Andrea Mallis
Are you a professional athlete? Are you seeking balance in your life? Is Venus entering Scorpio in your house of partnership? Well, you probably need the services of a qualified sports astrologist. If only we knew where one could be contacted. Wait! We're in luck! Andrea Mallis is a professional ...

Zack Hample is quite insane, of that we're certain. He has close to 3,000 baseballs in his house, from 40 different ballparks. So obsessed is he that he's even posted a map of Costa Rica on his site, with arrows pointing to the exact site of the Rawlings baseball factory. We know he's planned his ...
When Baseball Is Like A Trip To The Dentist
From the fine folks who gave you the South Park version of every player on the Cincinnati Reds comes today's gem, motivational posters for every major league baseball team. Half the teams can be found on Joel Luckhaupt's Reds (And Blues) blog, with the other half on Red Hot Mama's site, including ...

We don't mean to pry, really, but we can't help but find Baseball Strategies a little strange. First off, it promises "daily insite" (sic) into the game of baseball direct from San Diego Padres scout Branden Moskwa. But for a guy who supposedly works inside the game, he sure is, well, kinda into g...
Blogdom's Best: New York Mets
More than any other sport, baseball lends itself to individual blog obsession. Whether it's the glut of statistics, the constant opportunities for second-guessing or just the fact that you have something to write about every day, every Major League Baseball team has several blogs obsessed with chr...

Dan Rivkin has a couple of things going against him — he's a programmer of some sort at MLB.com, and he's a Mets fan. Poor dope. With those two strikes against him, we know we're all rooting for Dan to get away from it all for a little while and forget his troubles. But no such luck. Even though ...

For a while in the sixth grade we pretended we knew French — but in reality it was just that one line in the Beatles song "Michelle" that we memorized and repeated to impress our friends. Apparently the folks over at MLB Blogs never even got that far. The Expos are long gone, after all, so why sho...

We'd like to introduce a new feature, because features are fun and make the day just fly fly fly by. In case you missed it, former Sportingnews.com "new media" dropout Mark Newman has resurfaced at MLB.com to help Bud Selig sell something that you absolutely cannot find anywhere else (particularly...

If you've never been there, we can pretty much sum up the bulk of MLB Blogs in three words: Vacuous pap. Hmm — actually, it only took two words....

They are the weblogs that time forgot. The blogs of the damned. Let us take a moment today to pay homage to the brave sites that have been consigned to the MLB Blogs scrap heap. Oh, once they were thriving Internet communities. But no more. Tour of Duty, That's Not Orange and Five-for-Five ... we...

The facts: Alter Bridge guitarist Mark Tremonti has an MLB blog. Tremonti is pals with Boston's Johnny Damon. Damon is rumored to be one of the next big names to go down in baseball's steroids sweep. How about some insight, Mark? Dish, baby. ...

We find it hard at times to keep up with MLB Blogs because of its the breakneck pace. When visiting Replaying the Past, for instance, we often have to take a breather to collect our wits, stop our heads from spinning and have someone from the clinic across the street take our blood pressure. It's ...
