Walt's JointIs it that time of year? Well, for some of us, it's always that time of year--time for baseball, please. The big four:ESPN's SportsZone is a part free, part fee-based baseball site. And now, Gamecast! Okay, now instead of hitting refresh nine or ten times a minute, ESPN has a java applet that broadcasts the games pitch by pitch to your computer. And Rob Neyer writes 5 days a week. OKAY! Give yourself a hero point.
Major League Baseball has swallowed every possible web presence related to the "official" aspects ofthe grand old game. I liked it better when Majorleaguebaseball.com was just At Bat--so I'll just keep the old logo. Wait til they get there hands on the Official League of Blood Sucking Intellectuals. Yikes! Usually kind to smaller man, Universe man offers up a pointer to The Weekly. Normally, you can access the new Weekly through USA Today, but don't ask about that frying pan.
And now, the big question: How bad a man is Pete Rose? Before you decide that Charlie Hustle belongs in the Hall of Fame, why not check out the Dowd Report--the origianl report about Pete's betting on baseball. Shame on you, Pete Rose. And more- Did you expect things to end here? NOT! Purebaseball contains lots of Fantasy oriented information, including a regularly updated rumor mill. Peter Gammons no longer writes for the Boston Globe. These days you can only find him at ESPN. Sure, some people bitch about Gammons--just try the newsgroups to hear the general harangue--but differ as you will, the man has two fingers on the pulse of the game. And besides he seems to like his job, HELL, who wouldn't? For more major league links than you can shake a stick at try Skilton's Major League Baseball Links. But remember, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Fastball provides minute by minute game reports, team reports and the AP news feed for breaking baseball stories. Kind of like the Baseball Server.
