To celebrate the fact that Opening Day is really, really close, I’m
going to post something every day that has to do with the number of
days until Opening Day. This is Day 10.
It appears that I forgot to post number 11 yesterday. A thousand apologies, good folks! The countdown resumes right now with…
TEN: Ten sports (mostly baseball) links for your Friday
10. One very good article on San Diego State pitching phenom Stephen Strasburg, from Yahoo!.
9. Another Strasburg article, this one from Sports Illustrated. He’s everywhere! (Speaking of SI, I have been getting my copies of SI, like, 2 weeks late for the last few months because they randomly reverted to trying to send it to the address I lived in two moves ago. Or was it three? I’ve lost track. Anyway, I finally got the one with Joe Posnanski’s story about Albert Pujols on the cover. Very exciting for Joe, and of course – a great story. That won’t count in my 10 links, because I’m sure many of you have already read it.)
8. For both video game AND photography nerds, we have a breakdown of the newly released screencaps of Madden NFL 10.
7. The latest Woot-Off continues!
6. If you were an NFL draftee, how well would you do on the Wonderlic test? Here are some sample questions.
5. Bill James on the future of newspapers.
4. An explanation of the different types of waivers.
3. Are you planning a Minor League Baseball road trip this summer? I sure am. Here’s a map with every MiLB team – even short season/rookie teams – with links to tickets and travel info for each one.
2. The first female professional baseball player in Japan. She throws a sidearm knuckleball, apparently. I would not want to face that.
1. Last year’s final standings, to serve as a reminder that there were TEN teams in the Majors worse off than the Royals in 2008.
