Countdown to ATB Baseball Talk!

1 day until Saj and I start talking baseball.

You have an invitation to THE blog of the baseball season. The Greatest Baseball Preview in America* begins on March 1st. Thirty-one straight days of posts. Thirty teams followed by a leaguewide preview on Friday, March 31st. Season begins Sunday, April 2nd.

Be here for all of it.



Ambitious? Yes. Can we keep up the pace? We'll see. And speaking of former MLB All-stars who probably juiced:

Sometimes I don't really appreciate how much youtube has changed my life. And then I find a one minute video of Tony Batista unintentionally scaring the hell out of a Japanese pitcher on his trot to first base after getting hit by a pitch. Apparently the Japanese are scared of large black men with sumo-sized asses. I don't want this to be the second post in two days where I intentionally confuse Japanese people with Korean people, but this is like the scene at the end of Do the Right Thing when the Korean grocers think the angry mob that destroyed Sal's Pizzeria is going to turn on them. Race relations have come so far.

*Disclaimer: These posts will be overly ambitious and overly generous in the estimation of our abilities. Stay tuned.

Ladies and gentlemen: introducing my new favorite beer for the 2007 Major League Baseball season:



Daisuke Matsuzaka just supplanted Junichiro Koizumi as my favorite all-time Japanese male. The title of favorite Japanese female continues to be held by Korean Margaret Cho. BASEBALL'S A-COMIN'! (props to my friend Dan for the youtube link)

NBA: Brian Scalabrine, bespectacled and preadolescent

We all did this, but how many had the hutzpah to tape it and call their dunks "the most awesomest"? Brought to you by Stealing Links from Deadspin and made possible, in part, by the generous grants of the MacArthur Foundation.
