he seems to straddle the line between what your eyes see and understanding the MIT version of baseball.

Yeah, Posnanski is an old newspaper writer, so he straddles that line well. I find that like 75% of baseball blogs are focused on sabremetrics from your work desk kind of crap--people who think they're GMs.

Those blogs are both good, already enjoyed 3-4 articles between them. Thanks! Buuuut, what I am looking for is a newspaper-style blog that would give me a daily/weekly highlight reel, so to speak. Maybe there is something like that shoved into fangraphs, I'll look into it more.

I write for one called Shutdown Inning (http://shutdowninning.com), but it is very Ranger-centric.

I enjoy many Grantland articles.

They have a nice blog page http://www.grantland.com/blog/the-triangle but some of the good articles show up on the main page, not the blog.
