root
Ryan, the mlblogs.com admin’s brings us “Root” for the home team. Actually, he probably brought us all these blogs. But that one particularly.
Baseball
Reading over this blog, and getting feedback from a few friends, I realize that it appears I am unhappy with Kranepool. Quite the opposite, I love Kranepool! I love baseball, and blogs, more than most people love anything, AND I’m a kvetcher, so of course I’m going to nitpick.
My Dad has an Ed Kranepool autographed baseball, and he’s the Mets all-time hits leader.
Mets Win! Mets Win!
Last night I dreamt me and some friends were in Paris for opening day, Mets vs. Expos. The Mets, somehow, won 12 games on this day and clinched the division.
There’s not much to read into this dream, I was in foreign territory for two of my three “opening days,” Yankees Stadium for Baseball’s opening day, and in an expat bar in Paris for opening day at Fenway park. The Expos are gone, of course, but they made many visits to Shea about opening day, and hailing from Montreal they were also kind of “the French team.” I don’t know how the Mets managed to get 12 games up in one day in my dream, or how that became “clinching the division,” but I was happy about it. (My third opening day was really only opening day for me, Pedro’s first start at Shea.)
Hello, MLBLOGS
Here’s my Hello.Typepad Sports category. I’ve been writing on the Internet for over ten years, but there is no good way (yet) to slurp all my old Baseball posts onto this blog. In addition to my Typepad site, you can find these old posts over at No More Prisons, randomWalks, Sportsfilter, and Flickr. When I come upon the best of those old posts I’ll post them here.
What is Moblogging?
What is Moblogging? More importantly, why is that template broken? update: I have fixed that template.
Monogamy
Look at this category! My "Team(s)" ? No, you only get one team. You can root for multiple teams (I root for the Red Sox too) – but they’re not "Your team." This service was not built for true Baseball fans!
On the Rangers
- CHRIS YOUNG? You call that a pitcher? Look at his little arms! Curt Schilling could fit three Chris Youngs in one of his arms.
- Weren’t they once George Bush’s team? I hate them.
On the Yankees
- (on the Yankees) Their uniforms are so clean because they are too slick for dirt
- (After seeing Tony Womack dog it on the basepaths) I need to cast an elemental shift spell on baseball (*bonus points if you get that reference*)
- (On Derek Jeter) Look at those skinny thighs! Does he not run??
- (on Randy Johnson) Too ugly for baseball! Get him off the TV!
mlblogs.com has ads!
mlblogs people! here is some free coaching advice. I paid $50 for my web site and it still has ads! I know that Tommy Lasorda’s blog has ads too, but come on! It’s not fair!
