Dear readers, I’ll be away from BCB for the next week or so because of vacation. I’ll be, as they say, going off-the-grid at least until next Friday. Looking forward to catching up on my summer reading (Catch-22 by Joseph Keller and a short story collection of sci-fi legend Philip K. Dick). In the meantime, [...]

I’ll be posting some Lincecum thoughts later today but I wanted to give a quick update on Bay City Ball. You’ll notice a new nav-bar at the top of this website. I’ve been asked by Rob Neyer of ESPN to join the ‘SweetSpot Network’ — a collection of baseball bloggers covering, eventually, every team in [...]

I’ll be away from BCB for the next week and a half. On Saturday, October 4th, I’ll be getting married and then me and the future wife — I’ll have to get used to saying that — will be heading off to Jamaica for a weeks worth of (hopefully) sun. If I tried to bring [...]

A quick site note, I updated BCB’s version of Bad Behavior this afternoon and I’m running into some problems with the comments. Bad Behavior is a php-based solution that deters spambots from clogging up this site. I’m working to resolve this issue shortly but until then, trying to post comments will just spit out an [...]

You might notice that BCB looks a little different today. I’ve decided to change the layout because I was starting to run into some problems with our past theme. Mostly minor stuff. This theme is a lot like the last one, it’s pretty basic and simple. That’s what I enjoy about webpages. Give me barebones [...]

Apologies to anyone who tried to access the site earlier this morning. Our host was having some hiccups that caused us to go down for a little bit. I use Dreamhost to host BCB and overall, I’ve had pretty good results with them. They tend to have small patches of downtime which can be frustrating [...]

CNN USA Today MSNBC — Carlin certainly needs no introduction from me or anyone else. He was iconic. He was a comedian that I think everyone knew about, even if they didn’t follow comedy (which always seemed weird to me). You’ll probably read a lot in the following days about how shocking or revolutionary he [...]

A quick word, I’ve enabled a caching plugin this morning. It should increase the load times and responsivenesses of the site. I’ve read some things that say a user could get served a ‘blank page’ now and then, and it if it happens to you personally, please send me an email with your problem so [...]
