In search of the despairing Yankee blog


Squawker Lisa, I see you have noticed that Met blogs have names like "Depressed Met Fan" and "Pessimets," while Yankee blogs have titles like "Pride of the Yankees." But I did uncover one despairing Yankee blog - the E*Trade Baby's "Colicky Yankee Fan." In the blog, the E*Trade baby laments never having seen the Yankees win a World Series.

The blog was discontinued last November.

If Subway Squawkers was just a Mets blog, I would want to change the name to something like "This Train Is Out of Service. Service Will Resume Later This Evening, or Next Week, or in a Month or Two."

Not that I'm pessimistic or depressed or anything about the 2010 Mets.

It's not depressingly-named but Was Watching provides enough pessimism for the rest of the Yankee blogosphere combined.

I have a bright, colorful name for a Mets blog. Very bright, very colorful. You've heard of "Scott Proctor's Arm"? How about...

Lindsey Nelson's Jacket!

Jay - The Mets version this year may end up being called Wasn't Watching.
Uncle Mike - When you mentioned Scott Proctor's Arm, I was afraid you were going to suggest Carlos Beltran's Knee!

A depressing Mets blog should be called, in the words of Joe Buck, "The Yankees are back on top!"
