Make Joe Posnanski A One-Man Hall Of Fame Selection Committee
The title is only half-kidding -- there are other Hall of Fame voters with strong ballots and reasoning behind their selections. Ken Davidoff is one. But Posnanski is the perfect voter. He's intellectually honest, consistent in his standards and cares more about how good a player actually was...
Do You Play or Watch Poker On TV? If So, Bob Costas Hates You
"The Future of Sports" at Washington University It was Monday afternoon. I had just checked South Side Sox for the first time that day, and read Cheat's post about stepping down. Smelling the blood in the water, I ran out to the car and started driving to St. Louis. The plan was desperate, but if...
Afternoon Prowl: Metrodome Horror, Easy Pick Twins, Porcello's Fastball, and the Cabrera Dilemma
Joe Posnanski compares the Metrodome to the horror film slasher that just won't die. And even those who say they love the place don't really love it. Posnanski also suspects that a mutual dislike of the 'Dome among Twins fans has become a source of pride. (via Baseball Musings) Rob Neyer...
Joe Posnanski: Not a Believer in Fernando Rodney

Defending Harold Reynolds
Harold Reynolds recently wrote an article on his blog (he has a blog?) about, uh, OPS and Dick Williams and some other stuff. You see, part of the problem is that it's awfully hard to figure out what he was actually trying to say. Harold doesn't appear to be a great writer -- which is okay,...
Morning Prowl: Love for the CoPa, SI Covers, Sheff's Gift, and Funeral on a Ship
The New York Times' Tyler Kepner wonders why more people don't consider Comerica Park among the best modern ballparks. (He also takes a nice shot at the new Yankee Stadium.) Peter Abraham says the Yankees "look like a company softball team at times." Do they have a whiff of '08 Tigers to...
