It’s that time of year…(An Amazon pledge drive reminder)

Categories:

Next week is Thanksgiving already, somehow. According to every store, that means it’s already time to start playing the most grating versions* of  ‘Sleigh Ride’ on a loop while reminding shoppers to start their holiday spending early. *all versions. That song is awful. But, you’re tech-savvy enough to be reading a little-known baseball blog, which …

A year ago tonight, the new name of the former Omaha Royals was unveiled in a huge ceremony/party. Here’s some of my Storm Chasers coverage from the first year of the newly-branded team and their gorgeous new ballpark. November 16: I had a great time at the ceremony, and didn’t hate the new name. (Hey, …

Learning to hit – and love baseball – with NW Ark outfielder Tim Smith

Northwest Arkansas Naturals

Sometimes, stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason. Tim Smith, one of Northwest Arkansas’ top hitters this season, is Canadian. So naturally, he grew up playing hockey first – baseball was just a secondary sport in the summertime. He said he dreamed of someday making it to the NHL. But by age 16 or so, Smith …

As much as we may want to, we’re not going to get out from under the Penn State story. It’s the biggest sports scandal of our lifetimes, the scope and details of which are only going to get more disturbing. At the heart of all of the accusations, the firings, the riots and the reactions …

Joe Posnanski is in Happy Valley, and has been for a few months. He is there to write a book about Joe Paterno. Penn State football, as you have probably heard, is in the news for reasons other than their upcoming matchup against Nebraska. The Jerry Sandusky story is disgusting in innumerable ways. But as …

Farewell to Lance Zawadzki

Feat10052011

When I read that Lance Zawadzki was among the Royals’ roster cuts, I was prepared to make the argument that he should be retained as an organizational guy for another season. In my mind, he was a pretty darn good ballplayer. The thing is, most of my exposure to the Storm Chasers this year came …

Why? Because PICTURES! Your September callups: Farewell to Kila, who was DFA’d to make roster space for Herrera. No way he comes back to the organization at this point – much more on him later, because there’s this thought that he “gave up” after his last demotion and I really want to look into that. …

Announcing the Amazon pledge drive: A small favor that’s a HUGE help

Feat09152011

Some websites have pledge drives. Baseball Musings, notably, has a huge annual fund drive, and Pinto most definitely deserves it for all the work he does. I’m not going to do that. What I would love from you guys is a different kind of pledge: I would be honored if you pledged your Amazon shopping …
