This Means War
Kissing Suzy Kolber takes the low road in using a picture of a beautiful woman to entice readers to vote for them for best sports blog. Well, two can play at that game:

Phoebe wants you to vote for you favorite sports blog.
But it doesn't stop there. Here's what he has to say about Baseball Musings:
About the site's author: Used to work for STATS, Inc. Used to work for ESPN. Writes about baseball. Doesn't tell jokes.
Listen, I'm not going to say it's a lame blog, because there are all sorts of basement-dwelling library-masturbating freaks who get off on paying attention to baseball stats. I'm sure it's a very good blog. On the other hand, it's our duty as Americans to ensure that this doesn't win best sports blog. Every vote for Baseball Musings is a vote for Al Gore when Chad Johnson is on the ballot.
Al Gore?!?!?! I'd like to see Al do this joke:
What's an algorithm?
A vice-presidential method of birth control!
And I'm sure some of the readers of this blog don't dwell in basements. So remember to cast your vote for your favorite sports blog once a day.
I'm David Pinto, and I approve this message.

Yeah! I live in the attic. Wait, is that better or worse?
And I am a librarian.
(I'm just glad you didn't go the "vote for me or this dog gets it" route.

Is Phoebe a Poodle? Looks like one I had growing up.
I love this blog. It's one of the best for sports I've ever been to...and I've been coming back here daily for...mmmm 3-4 years?
Love the doggie:)
Phoebe is a schnoodle, a Schnauzer-Poodle mix.
Considering how much I hate "YOU MUST VOTE!" mentality that some people have and how the whole "vote or die" thing is probably the dumbest thing that a human being has ever uttered....well, this site gets my vote either way, but their campaign just cements that decision.
re: the idiot who insulted baseball musings
(1) Dave, you are extremely funny and tell many jokes on this website (c.f. the marx brothers excerpt just today)
(2) the al gore joke was very funny
(3) the website is not just about the stats; there are many useful links to trade rumors and team rumors and links to many great columnists for many other teams, which no one would otherwise be able to find, which I find very useful;
(4) you are the #1 blog for breaking stories, ahead of AP, UPI, or any other sporting news source, usually speaking, in baseball;
(5) your comments and reactions almost always include columnists and blogs and blog feeds and links which can't be accessed by regular media;
I could go on listing reasons why this is the world's best baseball blog site, but the truth is self-evident;
this guy who criticized your website is living on the planet STEINBRENNBRENNIUM and obviously doesn't read anything but the NY Post.
