Redbird Nation
Have discovered a new blog to read: Redbird Nation. The article I’m linking to is my fave that they’ve posted so far, a detailed analysis of how Jim Edmonds is underrated that is pure gospel truth. Those of you who a) like baseball and b) have an RSS reader thingy might want to subscribe to their feed.
That piece was prompted in turn by an NYT bit about why the Cardinals have a better record than the Yankees. Alas, though, that piece is now in the pay-only archive, and the cheapskate in me doesn’t feel like paying. (I’ve read it once or twice, though, and it’s damned good. They go on at length about the modern baseball archetypes – broody Latin slugger, quiet Midwestern farmboy who’s a defensive genius, and swaggering hotshot Southern California outfielder – and how those archetypes are working so beautifully in STL.)
