Notes from the Ditch, March 6, 2007

Mar 6th, 2007 | By SBG | Category: Notes from the Ditch

1. Much has been made recently in the Twins blogging community about LENIII, Joe Christensen and Howard Sinker blogging about the Twins at startribune.com. As a Twins fan, I'm interested, of course, and I'm also enjoying those blogs. But, you may not know about another great blog that has been running for [...]

Never underestimate the power of the WGOM. I made one mention that the Twins hadn't won yet and they go right out and win. In other news, I hear Bill Bavasi is holding out for a new contract.



Mugshot Purgatory: Intro

Mar 6th, 2007 | By AMR | Category: Guest Writers, MLB, Mugshot Purgatory

AMR would like to thank SBG for the opportunity to post this half-baked crap here.
Different people have different details about the game that they pay special attention to. CarterHayes has shared his focus on cards. Paul Lukas loves the uniform. Pat Neshek loves autographed stuff (including cards). Lots of people get deep into stats. Me? [...]

Bad News

Mar 5th, 2007 | By ubelmann | Category: Guest Writers, MLB, Minnesota Twins

Garza leaves game with stiff neck. Also mentioned here. He only made it to the third batter. As far as I recall, this is essentially the first important news of spring training. Garza is a guy, who even if he starts the season in Rochester, could be giving the Twins 140-150 [...]



Bill Bavasi: First Among General Managers

Mar 5th, 2007 | By SBG | Category: Stupid Stuff

Inspired by the crack staff at Forbes.COM and their hotshot rankings of sports' general managers, we here at the WGOM have decided to undertake our own study to rank the general managers in all of sports. The ranking that we came up with may raise a few eyebrows.

A few thoughts today From the Ditch. Since I have the Charting the Competition posted below, I'll put a break here so as not to cover up that feature.



Charting the Competition: Chicago White Sox

Mar 5th, 2007 | By SBG | Category: Charting the Competition

Welcome, SBG fans to a new feature here at the WGOM. Last year, I started something that I called “Charting the Competition”. This new feature uses that same name, but it embodies something else. Charting the Competition now refers to our attempt to follow the other teams in baseball by hearing from [...]

There's gonna be an upgrade to the software today and I'm gonna be away. When the update comes, the site'll probably go back to the default template. I'll fix it when I get a chance.
