OK, so I’m working the grass clippings into the compost pile in the backyard and a thought pops into my head:
“I wonder if Pedro has thrown his bullpen session yet?”
I mention this to illustrate the Metsification of my life and to partially explain my Blog Day list. I struggled to come up with a list of five blogs — and one of them isn’t even a blog, but a Web site.
I don’t read enough as it is and baseball season has me very much focused on the Mets. I haven’t gone out of my way to search for new blogs and other sources of news/comment. I feel kind of bad about this. But — for crying out loud — we’re in a pennant race!
I’ll likely improve the variety and quantity of my online and offline reading material once the season is over. I like to think of myself as well-rounded person. It’s just that things get a little whacky during baseball season.
Four blogs and one Web site that I recommend:
Aligarians — Urdu poetry. I can’t remember how I found this blog, but I like it a lot. The only thing is I wish that more of the poetry was translated into English.
Faith and Fear in Flushing — Their knowledge of All Things Mets is astounding. I particularly like the way the blog shows how baseball is woven into the lives of its fans.
MetsBlog — My Grand Central Station for Mets news.
PsyBlog — Psychology interests me. And I guess I am always wondering why I am the way that I am.
The Gematriculator — This is a Web site, not a blog. It measures evil, so I feel a certain warmth towards it. But it rates this blog 38% Evil and 62% Good, which is pretty dang embarassing. I obviously have to improve my Evil qualities.
