site has pretty good interviews. Here's their talk with Buster Olney, which goes into some interesting stuff about baseball writers, and how their personal affection for Piazza may have influenced their coverage of him, and Bobby V, and Alomar, and other good stuff, including a bit about teams that "give up," a topic on which I've caught some flak from the "How do you KNOW? How dare you even imply that?" squad. Talking about the '92 Mets, Olney says: "The worst thing to cover is a bad, veteran team, because the players are so cynical, the writers are cynical. Usually, the players are not playing that hard, because they are not excited. They probably recognize much earlier than a younger player would, how bad they are. Reading that book, and knowing some of the personalitiesˇ¦You know Eddie Murray. At that time Brett Saberhagen [was] definitely immature." http://www.all-baseball.com/bronxbanter/archives/002867.html

Here's part II of the Olney interview. Some good insight into the chemistry of certain teams, like the Alomar-Ripken Orioles, whom Olney covered. http://www.all-baseball.com/bronxbanter/archives/015269.html

They do really good interviews. The one with Pat Jordan has some insightful remarks about Clemens' personality, which ring perfectly true. http://www.all-baseball.com/bronxbanter/archives/007871.html
