Oh, and by the way

Raul Ibanez? Raúúúúúúúúúúúúúúl Ibaññññez?

No.

I wrote last year:
I can't believe this is a real possibility and apparently no one is interested in Adam Dunn because he strikes out too much. Guess what Raul Ibanez can do? If you guessed "play outfield," you would be wrong. He is quite possibly the worst defensive outfielder in the game today. If Barry Bonds came back, he would be better. Hell, Marlon Anderson and Fernando Tatis are better outfielders. Manny Ramirez is better when jogging at half-speed. Mariners blog Lookout Landing lists him as "LF" when they post the lineups in game threads. (They also list Jose Vidro as "DH".) They have a sidebar called "Raul Ibanez is Really Good at Defense." It contains this. And this. And this. And this. AND THIS.
Also here.

Hey Blastings; it's OK if you don't want to blog anymore (at least until you feel you've adequately expanded upon your schtick) but at least update Tim Marchman's link.

If Omar gives Perez 3 yrs $35M and loses Lowe to the Braves, a fitting swan song for this blog would be the ranking the GMs finale #24-Omar Minaya.

I apologize for contacting you through a posting, but I am interested in purchasing advertising space on your blog. It would be a simple text ad with three to five links embedded in the text.

If you are interested please contact me at brians.onlineseats@gmail.com

This site really does suck, and never updates frequently.

By the way bro, you were killing Omar for making that Milledge trade? The guy is such a flat bust, he sucks. Ryan Church is a far superior ballplayer than Blastings Thrilledge. First rounder my ass

it's totally awesome that after a month of not coming back here, I find that only hours before my return someone has posted a comment about what a bust Lastings is. totally awesome. washed up at 23, definitely. Church on the other hand, well, corner outfielders with .348 wOBAs don't grow on trees. For instance, the Mets only have the one.
