'...and Rob did write, and it was posted to the website, and it was taken with must consideration from those who understand.'- email from Baseball Blogger to the Corinthians 14:29
Rob Neyer mentioned in a chat on ESPN.com that he has something coming later today on the A's. Of course Rob had something coming from the A's earlier this year and the article was nixed by the A's powers that are.
As many of you know, Rob Neyer's columns are part of the ESPN.com 'insider' subscription package. And hopefully everyone knows how I feel about paying for online content from a multi-billion dollar media corporation. Pay for Baseball Prospectus and Baseball America and purchase their books. Absolutely, and so should you.
Giving more money to the mouse (Disney owns ABC and ABC owns ESPN) is not something I care to do.
So, I'll be copying, pasting and posting the juicy parts for your consideration when I can.

This is the word of the lord (lower case 'l').
Thanks, Zach.
I underatnd how you feel. Why doesn't ESPN fire Joe Morgan and Stuart Scoot and Sean Salisbury and have free content?
They have too many ads as it is.

Ah, the 'integrity' of the sportswriter or the media in general.
I am really coming around to this idea that the newspapers and ESPN, for the most part, are useless. Especially local TV channels.
I only recently became an A's fan and I have never really followed baseball too closely.
I thought this blog was negative, but when you really read the articles these people write, you can understand the frustartion.
Not to make too big of a leap, but the environment of baseball 'reporting' and politicians is about the same - 'repeat what gets a response, even if it doesn't make sense'.

So wrong to bash ESPN. I would be so sad without espn.
Why not get rid of Apple Pie.

If "Apple Pie" made you want to vomit on a consistent basis you would get rid of it.
