Bavasi's Blunder A look at Raul Ibanez- (Found July 5, 2008 ) I've been as critical as anyone of Bill Bavasi, the new Mariner's GM. He's signed some bad free agents, made some bad trades, and always finds a way to spend more than he needs to for the level of performance...http://www.ofrenda.org/baseball/archive/002475.html Blalock, Rodriguez top left side of the infield- (Found July 5, 2008 ) ESPN.com writer Jayson Stark posted today a column on why Alex Rodriguez is not the MVP of the American League. This appears to be a rebuttal to an oppositely posed column by another ESPN.com writer, Rob Neyer. It's an...http://www.ofrenda.org/baseball/archive/001987.html Pre-season Predictions and How They Panned Out- (Found July 5, 2008 ) Last winter, I was bored in class, and made a little grid of the league and divisions (with wild card), writing down who I thought would make the playoffs. Of course, no teams have clinched a playoff spot yet, but...http://www.ofrenda.org/baseball/archive/001946.html How do you summarize ramblings in a title- (Found July 5, 2008 ) So, it's been a few days since the last post. Luckily, I'm the only one who reads this stuff, so it didn't impact too many lives. My laptop's logic board died, so I was out of action for a few...http://www.ofrenda.org/baseball/archive/001648.html A Look at Rumors- (Found July 5, 2008 ) I'm watching the BravesMets game, since every Braves game is televised nationally. I guess the Braves are now the second most popular baseball team, behind the Yankees, but for years they were the most popular. It's not hard to understand,...http://www.ofrenda.org/baseball/archive/001566.html Franchise Building- (Found July 5, 2008 ) I just finished watching Globe Trekker, which is a travel show on PBS. Tonight's destinations were Cuba and Haiti. I've also been checking in on the MarinersTwins game, as I'm a long-time Mariners fan (not to mention having a bunch...http://www.ofrenda.org/baseball/archive/001565.html Yankees vs Braves- (Found July 5, 2008 ) I'm watching this game on ESPN2 right now, and it's not pretty. The top of the first inning apparently took half an hour, assuming the game actually started near 4 PM (Pacfic). Casey Fossum, the starter for Boston, is getting...http://www.ofrenda.org/baseball/archive/001553.html In The Beginning- (Found July 5, 2008 ) I don't know what this blog is going to be yet. I have another blog, one so old that it predates the word blog (at least in common usage). So old that when my writing professor asked if I blogged,...http://www.ofrenda.org/baseball/archive/001550.html |
