The Stat Blog is Dead, Long Live the Stat Blog

Quick and dirty post because I'm swamped today and I have zero time right now.

The Baseball-Reference Blog is shutting down for some reason. Not entirely sure why you shut down a blog that's been running for 11 years, but Sean Forman has literally revolutionized how fans look up baseball stats so whatever he wants to do is probably the right decision.

Luckily for us, the writers of the blog have started up High Heat Stats, which picks up right where the B-R blog left off. Take a break from the cards (or cartoon ponies) and go check out some stats.

And follow the blog, for Pete's sake!

Andy hits the Big Time

Remember Andy from the 88 Topps Blog? He just got an article published in the New York Times. He also does some nice work on the Baseball-Reference.com blog. It's a treasure trove of nifty statistic tidbits, but don't worry if you're not a stathead, Andy has snuck a few baseball cards in there too. It's a nice way to kill a lazy Saturday, especially since I won't be posting again till late to night at the earliest, so check it out.
