Thanks for the links, guys. I'll bookmark them and follow them this season.

Bat-girl is great. IIRC, she has written for Page 2 before.

Her lego posts are the funniest evah!

absolutely agree 1000%. all gleeman does is provide the stats in a nice, convenient place. no analysis whatsoever other than haphazard cliches. "he's young, he'll probably be better this year." "luis rivas sucks. ha ha, aren't i brilliant?"

anyway, good for him for the work he does, and he is very good at getting accurate stats which i am usually too lazy to look up myself. but he does nothing i couldn't and his pale "objectivity" rivals this drivel as well.

Well ... since you put it that way.

I don't really like this blog software or this blogging site. I'm trying to make it look a lot nicer, but I don't think that the site allows what I want to do. I'm still looking for a better blogging service, if anyone knows something that is nice (and free).

blogger.com

run by google. super easy.

tim_uwrf · 04-15-2005, 11:15 PM

Well...I switched it up and went to www.blogger.com. I like that it doesn't have the HUGE ad at the top. Here it is (again): http://twinsbytim.blogspot.com/

Sorry for switching it for those that bookmarked it. Make sure you update your bookmarks.

EDIT: After seeing you guys talk about it I made my own blog. http://jasontwins.blogspot.com

Two questions.

#1 - Can you get a calendar where I can insert all the Twins games and not just link to posts that I've done.

#2 - Is it possible to use blogger.com to make extra pages, such as http://twinsbytim.blogspot.com/spotlightplayers or something like that? Or is it only the index with the new posts.

Jonzard · 04-16-2005, 05:16 PM

OK, so I am getting close to getting this off the ground.... but I need a name....

Jonzard · 04-16-2005, 05:26 PM

How about "Goin' Yard With Jonzard"

Xenimus0 · 04-16-2005, 05:44 PM

That sounds good Jonzard. Tell me your link once you get it, I'll add you to my links list.

I've gotta think of a name for my Player of the Game.

LOL. It's so silly and easy - it might just work!

Jonzard · 04-16-2005, 08:15 PM

Looks like mine is up and going. Hopefully I can keep it up.

Davey Eckstein · 04-16-2005, 08:20 PM

Tim, your link to Gassner doesn't work on your blog.

tim_uwrf · 04-16-2005, 08:26 PM
