The Razzball guy - the best blog

QOTD
"That's quote of the day."
- Ty
This one from our recent baseball trip to Baltimore: Oriole 3B coach and ex-Yankee great Willie Randolph... who I heart. He tossed Ty a foul ball during the game. Excellent.

"Willie Randolph"

1. The best blog
The unholy four from Google: google search, gmail, blogger, and google reader. I heart my Google Reader. Eyeballing it, I follow almost 100 blogs effortlessly, and in a sliver of time, each day.

The best blog out there, regardless of category, is a fantasy baseball blog called Razzball:


The Razzball guy (Grey) is hysterical. Just from today's post (razzball - All a-twitter about Logan):
  • "I’m dictating this post to a Montessori-taught monkey that I’ll occasionally catch looking at me like he wants to kill me and take over Razzball, which makes dictating that even more awkward."
  • "Personally, I don’t like guys like Infante or Prado outside of NL-Only leagues, but I also don’t like people who write personally either, so there’s that.  I’m a contradiction wrapped inside of lazy writing pitfalls."
  • "Picking up Kouzmanoff leaves a fantasy baseballer (<–my Mom’s term) in a spirited debate with themselves over God, free will, morality and why there aren’t any other 3rd basemen to pick up."
I think I know his secret though and you see it above: self-referential posts and mentioning his mother. I'll have to sneak those into some of my williamt fare. OK, maybe the real secret is: 1) he is almost always positive, 2) he doesn't take his fantasy baseball too seriously, and 3) it sure seems like he's having fun.

2. Not the best of anything
It'll be a media-free weekend. Thank you, Hurricane Whoever.
yow, bill
