Baseball Primer Newsblog— The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand
Sunday, June 28, 2009
Has anyone noticed how much ESPN.com, especially their “MLB” page, sucks over the weekend? Maybe not, since the time when most people most obsessively check the internet is during the week, when they are at work and supposed to be doing other things.
But now that I am living in Japan, where due to timezone differences my weekend hardly overlaps with the US weekend, I really notice it. The front page hardly gets updated. Web gems don’t get posted at all. Don’t even think about new columns or blog posts. And breaking news stories and trades sometimes don’t get posted until as late as an hour or two after they are covered elsewhere.
...It’s cute and all when some sort of mega-news goes down over the weekend and a video gets posted wherein Buster Olney looks like he just got out of bed, but if a site like mlbtraderumors.com can afford to hire people to cover the weekends, ESPN should too.
Do you really want more Pascarelli?

They'd think Pavement was the top band in the country.
(M)ost people most obsessively check the internet is during the week, when they are at work and supposed to be doing other things.
I think your answer is in there somewhere.
What? You mean they aren't?
I found out about a number of celebrity deaths here. MJ, Anna Nicole, Farrah, Heath Ledger; to name a few.
