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...
Jon Bon Jovi And Bud Selig Bring The Rock
Now, we know Bon Jovi hasn't exactly ever been, oh, underground, we guess, but on the list of Things We Imagine Rock Stars Doing That Are Debaucherous, Involve Leather Pants And Mostly Out Of Our Frame Of Reference, pre-releasing your album on MLB.com with an extra track for MLB.com customers wou...
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 ...
What We've All Been Waiting For: Sports Blind Items
We have no idea whether this site is bull or not — that it just launched yesterday makes us a tad suspicious, we'll admit — but, honestly, who cares: Someone has launched a blog that's only blind items about athletes. If it's real, if it's not real, it's a blind item! Like anybody believes them an...

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 ...

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...

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 ...
Come Watch Grainy Video Of Nobodies
We don't mean to overstate our case here, but we'll just say that tomorrow's EXCLUSIVE WEB CAST! of the New York-Penn League All-Star Game is likely to be watched by the relatives of those playing, and that's about it. And, honestly, that's probably being generous....

Apparently, they have radio stations on MLB Blogs right now, and everyone is just kind of linking to each other and talking about each other. That guy in the picture is the blogger at Diehard Ball Fan, and he was on a radio show and he's all excited....

We've figured out where all the Tampa Bay Devil Rays fans are: England! Yep, today's hot MLB Blog is Rays From Across The Pond, a site devoted to the least-exciting baseball team, which, after all is still better than cricket. Best post:...

MLB.com's Casey Stern has no peer behind a microphone, unless you count Carson Daly. Actually he's more of a cross between Pauly Shore and Christopher Knight — one day he's going to startle a guest when his voice changes right on the air. Stern — remember, he was a loser on the ESPN reality show ...
