What other baseball sites do you read?

by limecat on Aug 27, 2005 11:15 AM PDT

So what baseball related websites do you like to read besides AN? Obviously there's places like ESPN, Baseball America and Baseball Prospectus. What other ones do you enjoy?

The only two I read on a daily basis are A's Y'all (just to see how high Daric Barton's average has climbed) and Fire Joe Morgan which always gives me a chuckle.

I visit

minorleagueball.com with John Sickels, firejoemorgan, and as-future.blogspot.com for A's minor league updates. The last one is run by a member of this site blee1134.

I used to read ESPN until they decided to fire John Sickels AND make you pay for Neyer and Gammons.

Indeed

The only thing on ESPN worth reading was Gammons. Now that its pay-only, I haven't visited it in ages.

AN takes up 90% of my alloted baseball time. Then I read links from the link diary. Otherwise, I check out any interesting articles from the RSS feeds:

The Land of Whining Women and Schlongs

When I need comic relief, I read the nonstop complaints of OAFC. ;-)> If you read no other site, you might conclude that humans were far less intelligent than chimps, or slugs for that matter! ;-) :-) ;-)> Yes folks, OAFC is my favorite Whine!...

by reztips on Aug 27, 2005 3:14 PM PDT reply actions

For me

EIO, Baseball Analysts (for minor league coverage, notably other team's prospects, Baseball America, Minor League Ball, BP, rivals (college basketball/football recruiting, and scout (same reason as rivals).

My family now uses AN as a verb, does that mean I'm obsessed?

by Roscoe Parrish on Aug 27, 2005 4:03 PM PDT reply actions

AN is best

but the Royals Review is reeeeeally funny: www.royalsreview.com

The host (or whatever he's called) is hilarious.

as a dual allegiance (A's/Pirates) guy,

I'm often found at www.bucsdugout.com where me and, like two other people, post. (I need one of those half and half hats: A's and Pirates).

I also go to baseball reference and baseball library a lot to look stuff up.

Here's one other: www.philadelphiaathletics.org

hey limecat, thanks a ton!

I have been looking for a good site for the A's minors, and a's y'all looks great.

she was never able to watch me play because the games were too late back home, and now she's got front-row seats to every game.. Swish re: his grandmother

blogs

I'm surprised that no one mentioned Baseballmusings.com. No place better for a quick update on things happening in MLB and baseball blogsphere.

also:
Baseball toasters (Used to enjoy Will Carroll a lot)
Baseball analysts (insight full sabermetric site, also has a complete abstract on all of Bill James' baseball abstracts)
Hardball times
Baseball savant (less frequently updated now)
Minor League ball (loves its prospect retros)
Sabernomics

Stats:
Baseball Cube (player stats including minor league records)
Retrosheets
Major league charts
