The Baseball Analysts' Dave Allen has created a network chart of baseball websites.
It's based on outgoing and incoming links, so sites that are heavy on the links have more overall connections. You can find more info here.

Maury Brown has some choice words for Bob DuPuy on MLB.tv's blackout restrictions.

John Jaso Jingleheimer Schmidt, his position is my position too

You wrote: "Would you believe [Virgil Trucks] is the only player to have more postseason than regular season wins in the same year?" No I would not believe that. My first guess was correct. Francisco Rodriguez in 2002 and no wins in the regular season and five in the post season.

Either way, thanks for linking to the interesting article about Trucks. I remember hearing as a kid of his two no-hitter, five win season, but didn't know much about the rest of his career. Thanks.
