So, vorb is nothing but a raw-number count of posts? It does nothing to evaluate the contributions of those posts? vorb sounds a little like counting hits and deciding that Eckstein is better than Edmonds. Is that the depth we can expect from 1982 hero Glenn Brummer's namesake???
Apparently it is.

When judging VORB, we at BSH tend to look at those raw numbers because everything else in blog entries are entirely subjective. For example, you will be breaking down why Juan Encarnacion is one of the worst right fielders in baseball and how the Cardinals might be able to find a short-term solution.

BSH tops that in many ways. We skip past the informative, cutting-edge analysis and all that. Even though we love advanced baseball statistics, it is not our game because frankly, someone smarter has to explain it. Who do we get to do that? Simple. John Kruk. Oh yeah...what other blog in the world is promising John F'n Kruk? I can only tell you one: and that is BSH.

We're appealing to two different crowds: Steverino's Pitch Count goes after the smart baseball fan who likes to improve his knowledge about the game. Brummer Steals Home goes after the SMARTER baseball fan who wants predictions straight from the gut and phrases that have no filter. I can tell you that Mr. Kruk offered a ton of insight, and the stuff came from his brain straight to his mouth with no buffer in between.

Thanks, Rad. I was angry when I wrote it and didn't have it as polished or as structured as I would like.

Folks, I've put up two new posts to catch up. One profiles our beloved Jim Edmonds, featuring quotes from a past girlfriend, past HS opponent, Angels GM Bill Stoneman and some guy named Dave Schneitzel. Wonder who that could be...

The other is a Correspondents piece with John Kruk. Mr. Kruk has offered up some valuable and bold predictions for the very first Correspondents. So READ THIS BLOG AND GET YO SELF INFORMED.

And remember, tomorrow morning the first ever "Breakin' Down Bernie" will be up. It's going to be a busy week at the ole BSH.

GO READ IT NOW

Thanks, Keenan.

Steve, BSH is about to blow up. I'd try to hitch my wagon to this star if I were you. John Kruk and his massive body are going to carry us to greatness.

:P

Funny stuff Snayke. Don't know if you meant to say "certifiable wasteland of degenerates" or "wasteland of certifiable degenerates" but it works both ways.

Apparently it's bad form to laugh at your computer during a class. Thanks for that.

Baaahh, as I told Radbird, I was in such a rush to write that that there are probably many mistakes I need to go back and correct.

Thanks for the comments. BTW, someone wrote an awesome comment in the Jim Edmonds entry. Outstanding work by whomever that was.

Oh, just a joke. It all looks pretty clean actually.

I don't know what I'm talking about though. I mainly post on message boards to see just how many comma splices I can fit into one thought.
