    Thoughts on Baseball Media

    http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index...baseball-media

    Much like the open source movement in software, there’s been a revolution in the baseball community. The best content available isn’t being written in books or newspapers, or even behind subscription walls that require payments to access - the best knowledge available is free to everyone who wants it.

    And, while it’s sad to watch newspapers fold and business models fail, it’s exciting to be living in an age where anyone who wants to educate themselves on the game can do so.

    Re: Thoughts on Baseball Media

    Do you ever have your own thoughts, or do you recite everything someone else has said Houston?

    Yeah it'll be sad to see the PI go away. I actually think they have the better sports blog of the 2 newspapers.

    ....Why are you overanalyzing it so much? lol. "Very necessary", sarcastically, meaning "That's not necessary."

    HGM's rosters and helpful advice , over the years, has earned him the right to quote whatever he likes!
    "Whate'er should be our Zodiac's star
    We all are born to make or mar.
    To each is gi'en a bag of tools
    Some mentors, and a set of rules:
    And each must carve, ere life has flown,
    A stumbling block, or a stepping-stone"

    (Author unknown)

    Generation 35.

    "Spikes" The cleats on baseball boots
    "Spikes" On which newspaper editors impale copy for future reference, or ultimate destruction.
