Fire Joe Morgan Calls It Quits!

Sad day for sports blogging. FJM was consistently excellent for 4 years. Their absence will be very sore this offseason.

StatCorner adds tRA breakdown

every tRA stat will include a new widget that shows exactly how that tRA was calculated.

very very very neat. The blog over there is getting pretty interesting and the website in general has gone over a very interesting and dynamic growth during the last half of the season.

also in the blog, tRA+ is asessed per rotation slot. Looks like Cain was a #1 starter the first two years until this year when he was a #2. AT BEST.

Bumgarner's Minor League Splits this season

Bumgarner's Minor League Splits this season

A more in-depth look at how crazy good this guy was this year.

The absolute nuttiest part is about 2/3 of the way down in the men on vs. nobody on. With men on, Bumgarner goes from a 1.11 WHIP all the way down to a .62 WHIP. That's just unbelievable. The guy absolutely stepped up his game when men were on.

What a season. he wasn't really lucky with his BABIP, although his HR/F% should jump up a little bit from 2.2%

The Worst Season of Francisco Rodriguez's Career

The Worst Season of Francisco Rodriguez's Career

It's a little shocking to find out that (though by a little margin) K-Rod is having his worst year. Even a little bit weirder is that he's losing his stuff. His velocity is way down. Some poor team is going to give this kid 45 million.

OT: Will Leitch out at Deadspin

SloIsLonelyForTheOrange — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 07:13:22 -0000

It's the end of an era in the era of sports blogging:

Leitch out at Deadspin

Apparently, Leitch is out of the editors position at deadspin in three weeks. No matter your feelings on the site (I don't particularly care for most of their commentary though there were some truly delicious articles there on occasion), Deadspin is really a huge deal for the blog kingdom.

He's headed to be a "contributing editor at New York magazine.

What, if any, impact do you think this event has?

OT: Literary Criticism!

Use this to help me better understand the exactly how deconstruction works in reference to understanding and deriving meaning from a text!
