Now, my blog is not top 5 worthy, I get that and I am not out to bash any one else or any other blog, but let me give you my quick synopsis of each of these blogs . . . please don’t get any hurt feelings, if you own one of these blogs, read my post about the 23 questions before becoming a blogger – one of them is to have a thick skin:
N&N – good basic blog – it’s not a commercialized site, just a blogger site (like mine) lots of good information including stats, but also good commentary. I would prefer to see more pictures. My favorite segment? post season review vs the pre-season predictions. Nick predicted way more home runs than the Twins could ever actually hit.
Twinkie Town – part of the SBNation blogs, but I think Jesse is a local writer which is nice. Lately I have been randomly voting on their prospects poll. I am not sure any one really cares about the Twins #12 prospect, do they? OK, maybe these guys do – they do have a lot of comments, but I am willing to bet a lot of those voters are just like me, random voters. Whose name sounds the coolest, let’s pick them. I like Shooter Hunt the best.
Twins Nation – Hasn’t been updated since June 23rd, maybe Kris got sick of blogging, too. Google should take it off the top 5.
AG – AaronGleeman is practically famous in the world of baseball. If you need a stat, go see him. I even heard him on the radio the other day, I almost spit out my coffee. My favorite segment: Gleeman is good at conspiracy theory and I love it. Example: the Walters Hartman Minnesota Twins trading Delmon Young story.
Twins Locker – this site is not even operational – Google, hello? Is there a place where you can submit suggestions to Google for them to revise their search results?
Gleeman is on KFAN every Friday morning, at least when the Twins are playing, during the superstar morning show. He's good.
