I’ll be on XM Radio channel 144 with Bill Pidto and Bruce Murray on Tuesday at 9:25 am EDT, and will appear via phone on First Take at either 10:50 am or 11:25 am EDT, time TBD. I’ll also be on with longtime friend Jeff Erickson’s Fantasy Focus<\/a> Internet radio show, although we won’t do straight fantasy content. If you remember Jeff’s radio show on XM, this is the same show, but he moved it online after the Sirius-XM merger.<\/p>\n

My most recent post on my main ESPN.com blog now has BP video of Buster Posey<\/a>. There’s also video up of Tim Wheeler and Drew Storen in my most recent draft blog entry<\/a>. I should have more draft notes and videos later this week.<\/p>\n

Jason Whitlock had some strong (and dead-on) words about Selena Roberts and accuracy<\/a>. Shysterball had similar words last week<\/a>. I’ve pointed this out previously, but Roberts has gone after A-Rod at odd times before, like writing her 2007 World Series post mortem<\/a> about him, even though he hadn’t played in that or the previous series. Squawking Baseball takes aim<\/a> at Roberts’ implication that A-Rod couldn’t have tripled his bench-press ability without the use of PEDs.<\/p>\n

Is Twitter the CB radio of Web 2.0<\/a>? (HT to Shysterball.) I kind of hope not, now that I crossed the 1000-followers mark.<\/p>\n

JoePo is obsessed with cycles<\/a>. I couldn’t agree less; I think cycles are boring – statistical oddities that hold no interest for me. One reason is that a player who goes 1b-2b-3b-hr has hit for the cycle and goes on that list that some guy keeps that gets trotted out the next time some Joey Bagodonuts goes 1b-2b-3b-hr, but some other player who goes 2b-2b-hr-hr had a better day and doesn’t make any list, unless there’s some other guy keeping some other list that he really doesn’t get to trot out that often because no one gives a crap about guys who went 2b-2b-hr-hr. <\/p>\n

This clip cracks me up: auto-tuning the news<\/a>. (HT to mental_floss from their post earlier this week auto-tuning<\/a>.) I’m not sure which I like best – the facial expressions on the guy “talking” to Katie Couric, the angry gorilla, or the ever-present tambourine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
