I'm a huge fan of the interesting analysis and statistical talk that we get during the week, but that contrast is also what makes your stuff so good. These weekend posts are fun, and I like them.Tyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11878921441543129555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-66032956384697124242011-04-09T09:01:59.654-04:002011-04-09T09:01:59.654-04:00Oh Jesus, errors corrected.

You love baseball, like we do. You don't dig in your heels like the old MSM dinosaurs and try to beat down advanced metrics, so your analysis isn't outdated, it's just easier to understand!<br /><br />I agree with the other posters - this blog is a great in-between GROF and DJF (although I enjoy both immensely as well), and Parkes' mainstream gig at Getting Blanked is really good too (who knew he could still write without all the 'fucks' and 'cunts'?). lol<br /><br />Us Jays fans without the knowledge or time to blog are lucky to have such a strong, smart, non-rose coloured glasses wearing, funny, talented blogosphere. Imagine being a Red Sox fan... *shudder*<br /><br />Keep 'er going boys.Buck16noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-72243239849666296642011-04-09T08:20:53.375-04:002011-04-09T08:20:53.375-04:00What Dave C said.What Dave C said.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-22000502875550855212011-04-09T02:47:55.970-04:002011-04-09T02:47:55.970-04:00Ack, you and Tao are great.

It's a great middle ground between DJF's monkey army and Drew's sharp statistical analysis on GROF.<br /><br />I think the Jays blogosphere as a whole has some incredibly talented writers, who've gone and forced the mainstream media like Sportsnet to step up their game in their Jays' coverage. <br /><br />Keep adding your voices, gents, and we'll keep coming back.DaveChttp://davechurch.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-80019414838720164342011-04-09T01:06:31.949-04:002011-04-09T01:06:31.949-04:00Your layman's act is great complement to the T...Your layman's act is great complement to the Tao's highbrow ways.
