SO GIVE A SHOUT IF YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKIN ABOUT

You'll excuse me if I've been slow in getting to all of the quality baseball blogs and websites out there, but this past week, I came across one of the best: Jay Jaffe's Futility Infielder. It is neatly designed, and the writing is top-notch. I've linked Jay's site with the other regulars on the left-hand column of Bronx Banter. You should make a point of getting there as often as possible. Just this week, Jaffe has excellent posts on Voros McCracken, a baseball writer, and sabermetrician, who was hired by the Red Sox (prior to Bill James, mind you), as well as a link to an long article on Steve Dalkowski, the fire-balling, party animal, who was the source for "Nuke" LaLoosh, Tim Robbins' character in "Bull Durham."

Don't sleep.
