It’s well written, looks professional, and it’s promptly updated- it’s basically everything this page isn’t.

Arizona State opens fall practice with 29 scrimmages
Published 9/14/2007 by Brian P. Foley at The College Baseball Blog
... . This is not the typical fall schedule as teams usually use this time to develop their players skills in practice and have a five game series at the end of the fall. I wonder why ASU has decided to play so many games this fall? Is there that much competition for spots on the team? Does Pat Murphy just want to take a look at his players in a game situation? I am just wondering. Thanks to Mark over at Pitch Fork Nation for bringing this interesting development to my attention.

In a related story, in a total piece of bullcrap vote, Ryan Braun was given the NL Rookie of the Year award over Colorado shortstop Troy Tulowitzki.

We're counting up in the top 25. Today's preview of #16 Arizona State is from Mark Rafferty of Pitchfork Nation. In addition to his preview he takes an early run at breaking down the Arizona State-Georgia intersectional tussle. Enjoy. Much has been said of the Arizona State Sun Devils and their Sept. 20 match-up with the Puppy Dawgs from Georgia. The problem is that it is too early to give a full preview without knowing what players for Georgia will be on the field and which ones will be getting jazzed up for their booking photos. In the Tempe area, the buzz is that this game is ...
