Thought I’d try something a little different: a running commentary on last night’s game. Enjoy… 4:52 p.m. Filthy slider to Derek Jeter. My goodness. No chance. 4:54 p.m. Interesting play by Greg Colbrunn. Easy inning for Randy Johnson. Too easy. 4:58 p.m. Huge break for the Yankees. That ball stays in the park, Tony Womack [...]

Nevin for Betemit and Perez?
The latest Baseball America arrived today. I can’t imagine that he actually reads Ducksnorts, but I’m tickled that Peter Gammons seems to like my idea from October 2 of trading Phil Nevin for Wilson Betemit and Odalis Perez. Pick up the issue if you can; Josh Boyd’s scouting school story is in there in its [...]
Brenly Mismanages Bullpen, Almost Blows Another World Series Game
Fascinating. I noticed the Diamondbacks were up 2-0 after seven last night, so I broke my “no Yankees on television” rule to see how Bob Brenly would manage to blow this one. Actually, that’s a bit harsh. What I really wanted to see was how he would try to end the game without his closer, [...]
Ducksnorts 5.0
Big news is, the Ducksnorts 5.0 is now in effect! There are still some back-end issues to take care of, but none of those should have any impact on your visit. If, on the off chance, you do notice something “unusual” going on, please drop me a line so I can fix it. Thanks. Oh, [...]
Halloween, Monty Python Style

Site Redesign, Spanish Inquisition, and Other Goofiness
Very briefly: The site redesign is nearly complete. Only articles from 1999 need to be transferred to the new template. I’m hoping to do this tonight after my Perl class. Assuming I’ve learned all my lines for Halloween. We dress up at work; last year our group came as the Borg from Star Trek. This [...]
Internet Baseball Awards
A quick look at my IBA choices: AL ROY Ichiro Suzuki C.C. Sabathia Alfonso Soriano Suzuki and Sabathia were easy. After that it was kind of dicey, with Soriano just nosing out Anaheim’s David Eckstein and Minnesota’s Luis Rivas for that last spot. Danys Baez also had a solid, if quiet, rookie campaign. NL ROY [...]
Eric Cyr, Internet Baseball Awards, and Mock Dispersal Draft
Good writeup on Eric Cyr’s AFL experience I should have mentioned this earlier but the deadline for voting for the Internet Baseball Awards is today. I’ll post my entire vote tomorrow. For now, here are my top choices: AL ROY: Ichiro Suzuki. No-brainer NL ROY: Albert Pujols. No-brainer AL Cy Young: Freddy Garcia. Probably the [...]
Site Redesign and Contraction
Now that baseball season is over, and there isn’t a whole lot going on, I’m getting a chance to finish up the new site. It’s about 40% done, and I still expect to meet my November 1 deadline. The main pages, the weblogs, and all articles from 1997 and a few from 1998 have been [...]
Three Links
Honestly, I might as well be rooting against gravity or the Second Law of Thermodynamics. This is depressing. A few places to visit: www.thebaseballpage.com Lessons Learned J.J. Trujillo’s AFL Diary at MLB.com In other news, I’m back working on the site redesign. I expect to have it up and running by November 1. I’m pleased [...]
