The Mets Blogs are taking over ...

I borrowed these links from Mets Geeks Blog. I hope they don't mind. Why have a forum? Everyone just start a blog and see who survives.

You think Doubting Thomas is the old Mets Online poster of the same name? Does joelmon have a blog?

WOW, that's a lot of bloggers, I never got into them,I've read a few but they don't grab my attention for long.

There's an Eddie Kranepool Society? Can we sue for copyright infringement?

EKS has been around awhile. I haven't checked out all of them. There's one or two I read regularly. I think it would be interesting to invite one blogger at a time to take a dip and tell us about themselves and their blog and how/why/etc they started it. Some of those bloggers have to be online vets from the olden days.

I like reading blogs for more in-depth discussion of fan's thoughts than you might find on a message board. I only looked at a handful of those but not all of them seem to be updated too often. At a quick glance "Misery Loves Company" looks like it might be pretty good though with regular entries. Any recommendations for others that are worth reading?

The problem I find is that I don't even like to read long winded posts here,not saying that blogs are boring but just not for moi.

I read Faith and Fear in Flushing regularly - it's usually well written, and often very funny.

Not to paint with a huge brush, but they're mostly all alike: Decidedly smarty-farty Met fans quick to criticize losses and stand and cheer wins with opinions that range from enlightened to reactionary. The only ones I see regularly is F&FiF, which my firend writes, and MetsGeek, since half those blogs are written by that one's multiblogging staff. Hot Corner used to be pretty good but he stopped updating at one point and I stopped going back to check it. Don't know too much about the others. Basically, these guys need an angle: Metsblog has a sorta "live" feel and is news-y and worth a look sometimes; F&F is historically minded and well-written; the walk-off guy has his niche but it doesn;t beg for repeated visits. The rest I haven't been able to distinguish.

I read the Astros sisterblog of "Take the 7 Train" regularly. This isn't meant as an endorsement, exactly, but I'm pretty sure it's updated regularly.
