For reasons that aren't important, I spent a little time counting last night, and found that since I began this blog, I've written, 2,325 posts at the old Blogspot site, 1,184 posts on THT (including this one), and 318 posts on the NBC site. I guess I'm good and warmed up now, so it's probably ...
My Morning in Exile
hardballtimes.com 7/10/2009 — I should call it my morning in Hell. I got four posts in over at the Blue Network when I was dragged into a meeting that probably didn't need my presence. Two hours later and I'm just now emerging, and no, I am not a better man because of it. And guess what? At 1pm, I have another meeting! ...
My Morning in Exile
hardballtimes.com 6/10/2009 — Conversation I had with a coworker yesterday:
Him : So, who are the Braves going to draft?
Me : No idea.
Him : [mildly mocking me] Really? And you call yourself a fan?
I quickly changed the subject. I'm surrounded by football fans in central Ohio who simply don't understand ...
My Morning in Exile
hardballtimes.com 5/13/2009 — Sorry about the day off yesterday. I can assure you, what I was doing was nowhere near as fun as talkin' baseball:
The Yankees truly don't get it .
Mike Hargrove for Indians' manager !
Jose Offerman destroyed a man's career.
Was Dontrelle Willis really sick ?
Daniel Murphy ...
Exile of the Week: I Can't Even Say His Name
legendofcecilioguante.com 6/12/2009 — I can't write his name or feature a picture. So, at left is the anti-symbol for this week's exile . The reasons are long and too tedious to recount. This is just the latest . Hotel reservations. Surgery. Clandestine meetings. Surgeries that happened ...or didn't...or did. Just. Make. It. Stop. ...
My Morning in Exile
hardballtimes.com 6/30/2009 — In terms of posts it was a slow morning, but the morning itself was anything but slow. In the wake of that alleged list of the 2003 steroid list positives, I put on my reporter hat and actually called sources and cross checked and wrote stuff down and everything. That's hard work! Someone please ...
My Morning in Exile
hardballtimes.com 6/17/2009 — Things I wrote while struggling to come up with any ballplayer who, if implicated as a PED user, would truly surprise me. Maddux, maybe. Bob Horner. Lolich.
Sammy Sosa: the leaking is way worse than the 'roiding .
A roundup of Sosa opinion in the greater blogosphere.
Rizzo says that ...
My Morning in Exile
hardballtimes.com 6/11/2009 — Some technical wonkiness cut in to this morning's NBC blogging. Everything looks cool over there now, but if posts start disappearing over there again, I'll just post them over here I guess. For now, though, these posts remain readable:
The Seattle Times' Geoff Baker is a total badass, and ...
My Morning in Exile
hardballtimes.com 6/8/2009 — Either there wasn't much news this morning or else I couldn't find it. Or I had a case of the Mondays. Whatever the case, it was sluggish going over at the peacock today:
I'm not the only one skeptical of Dontrelle Willis' anxiety diagnosis .
Is Big Papi poised to break out ? Warning: ...
My Morning in Exile
hardballtimes.com 5/26/2009 — It was a slow morning writing-wise for me as my bosses decided that we needed to have several meetings today to make up for not having any yesterday. God I love government service. I hope you citizens are thankful for my efforts. Ohio citizens anyway:
The Red Sox should make a deal . They ...
My Morning in Exile
hardballtimes.com 5/7/2009 — Things that seemed important to me before the Manny news hit the wire:
Paul Janish > Bronson Arroyo.
Carl Crawford: Fast + Smart.
Bud Selig + visionary statements = scary.
One luxury car / two players = chaos.
Milton Bradley = insanity squared.
Finally, Bengie ...
The Longest Rain Delays —
Nationals Journal 6/19/2009
I'd promised yesterday to investigate whether yesterday's 5:26er was the longest-ever rain delay, but that query runs direct into a serious problem: Major League Baseball doesn't keep track of rain delay statistics. Nor do many others, evidently. ...
