In the News
I just did a search on Google News and All-Baseball.com came up as one of their sources. If anyone ever sees a Baseball Musings post on Google News, please let me know.
It really would be great if Google had a similar service just for blogs. Often times I see a story and would like blog reaction, but if my favorites aren't covering it yet, that reaction can be tough to find.

Maybe call it bloogle. or bloggle
I saw your site on Google news last week or is it two now, after the world series.
Google owns Blogger.com and has been working on such services. You might hook up with them and submit RFEs. Cheers, -Ali
You can suggest to be added:
"Please mail your ideas for news sources to source-suggestions@google.com. While we can't guarantee that we will add all sources that are recommended, we will review all the suggestions we receive."
David:
Try sportsblogs.org. They have a lot of XML/RSS/whatever feeds.
If you can describe a topic of interest in a few good search terms you could run a search in feedster (www.feedster.com). The result screen will include an option to subscribe to the feedster search as an RSS feed. So, if you but the feedster search feed in your feedreader, you should get notice of any new items that meet the search criteria. In most feedreaders, dropping the feed once the item isn't new any more is fairly easy.
Just a thought on how you could tackle the problem.
daypop and technorati can be useful for searching blogs, but I don't know how they'd do with sports.
David: A friend of mine who owns the site www.vcrisis.com called google and he now appears regularly as a news source for Venezuela. I am not sure how he did it, but you may want to look into it.
