Reds Diary Up to Date and Some Childish Behavior

June 17th, 2005 | Brian

Alright, I made some progress tonight and I completely caught up the 1975 Reds diary over at Blade’s site. If that’s your bag, be sure to check it out.

I’m all for constructive criticism, but everyone once in a while, someone takes it a little too far. While looking through my referal logs, I ran across a new, rather mundane site. Apparantly, someone doesn’t have anything better to do then rip on other people’s material. I love sports history, so the diaries are a special treat for me. But to others, I suppose I’m “obsessive” and a “total loser.”

I debated whether to give these guys any publicity at all by linking to their site since that may be exactly what they’re looking for. I finally decided I’d give you a look at what these jokers are up too. I’m sure the five or six of you who go click over will double their outside their traffic. So go check out the “noise” at Sports Blog Critics.

I’m not sure if my favorite part is his reference to the 1961 Mets or his admission that Joe Morgan is his favorite announcer. Shows the level of discourse they expect to have over there, I guess.

Gee, I have seen the light. I shall ditch the teams I follow who do not have winning records and go be, I don’t know, an Orioles fan. Thanks, random nasty blog guy!

Whaaaaat? How can this guy claim to be a baseball fan, then suggest that people ditch their teams, then expect to be taken seriously? Your team is your team, dude. Anyone who doesn’t understand that is not a fan.

And for what it’s worth, I think the 1935 feature is a neat little look into history. It’s sort of like a textbook, only interesting and lacking inane study questions.

Brian, I think you’re right to ignore that kind of criticism. I went to that site once, and i’ll never, ever, do it again. I couldn’t care less what idiots like that think.
