Why do I blog?

ESPN.com - MLB - Schwarz: Ugly season likely awaits in South Florida:

In ESPN's Hot Stove Heaters, Alan Schwarz writes about the Marlins - one of the top Spring Training stories of the season.


"....veteran second baseman Pokey Reese, who hit .215 and .221 in 2003 and 2004, then became far more valuable by spending all of last season on the Mariners' disabled list. (Second could otherwise be manned by Rule 5 draft pick Dan Uggla. Insert joke here.) ...Third base is cloudier.... Cabrera could finally return to his natural and preferred position, but Bto speak of, he could be grudgingly sent out there again....If Cabrera does not play third, look out for Wes Helms...."

For readers of this site, you already knew about the playing time prospects for Uggla and Helms.

For me, this blog provides me the satisfaction of providing proof of being ahead of the pack of baseball writers.

Interestly, there have been hits on this site for Dan Uggla. Maybe those were just his family Googling him, but if any of them were, in fact, Mr. Schwarz, welcome! (Also a hearty welcome to the Ugglas, too!)

How about a blog shoutout, the link?

There is gripes about baseball writers stranglehold on HOF voting by sprostcasters.

Sports bloggers are way down the totem pole.
