Im in second place. Can you guys go "rec" (recommend, I assume) my article in the comment section of this link, provided you find it worthwhile?

how do you vote? just by posting under the comment about your article? wouldn't a poll make more sense? this seems confusing?

I know right? You have to hit "rec" to recommend it. thats the votes they're counting. As evidenced by the comments, I thought you just commented as well.

Also, in true internet fashion, the most popular one is the one that references Teen Girls.

My blog about having Ben Cherington publicly beheaded didn't gain near that traction.

Just wait until he gets canned; the Globe will pick it up then.

No, next to that green box click on the black comments box which will allow you to log in (you can use twitter, facebook, or google to log in if you don't want to make an account local with the site). Once you're logged in you'll see a little "rec" link under the comment for skitch's article. Click that.



It says uncrec on my picture because I've already clicked it.

I don't even see a green rec box!

Done and done.

You're a good.. not an enemy?..spike.

OK, I figured it out. I was signed in with Yahoo, but apparently Yahoo users can't rec things. Google users can. So I did that. That was the hardest thing I've ever done on the internet.

HAHA nice.

I use to write for a Rangers blog from 2006-2011 and I stopped doing so. I didn't have the time I wanted to devote to it. I miss that for sure. I got to interview Rod Barajas. Very cool guy.

Congrats, Skitch. Hope you win.

your blog post reminded me of myself when thinking about the brewers' current position, as far as if they should be sellers or not. obviously they will be, but i also think they aren't that far from contending again, so it must be tempered.

Love me some Carlos Gomez!

with the strong play of gerardo parra, and khris davis healthy again, i could see them trading gomey more than ever. it's the smart move; get some pieces and still have a solid OF w davis, parra, and braun for next year.

I'd love for the Rangers to trade for Carlos Gomez. I'm sure Bob Melvin would love that.

i didn't realize mike ilitch was pure nightmare fuel

just listened to the Nationals broadcasters TRY to convince anyone who was listening that Greinke was getting tired after pitching 2 balls high.... literally TWO
6 inning shut out, cruising along, back to back pitches up high and they think Greinke, the guy who hasnt given up a run in a month has lost it. next pitch, weakly hit ground out to end the inning.

Greinkes on fire

Ive been watching most of his starts, got him as my ace for my fantasy team. Hes been sooooo in control this year. Hes throwing his change up nearly as fast as his fastball. I wanna say his avg speed on his fastball is 92, changeup 88! but hes getting so much movement out of it.

Wish the Crew could have kept him around.
