I've written three articles for The Faster Times over the previous 18 hours. Please check them out:
* The Texas Rangers haven't had a great history, but they've never come close to choking a playoff series -- until now. My thoughts on what's happened so far in their series are in "Will the Texas Rangers Be the Latest Dallas Team to Choke?"
* Is Brooks Conrad to blame for Sunday's Atlanta Braves' loss, a game some are comparing in pain to the Leyritz game? Is Bobby Cox? I asked baseball writer -- and Braves fan -- Dan Schlossberg for his thoughts. The piece is called "Brooks Conrad, Bobby Cox, and the Braves’ Heartbreaking Loss."
* I wrote about how Dan Shaughnessy has somehow twisted the Boston Red Sox curse to cover...the Texas Rangers? Check out "Dan Shaughnessy Finds New Target for the Curse of the Bambino: The Texas Rangers."

Support The FasterTimes - and the Subway Squawkers!
I've written a few pieces for The Faster Times that should interest our readers.
Think Steve Phillips was out of control ridiculous with his suggestion that the Nationals trade Stephen Strasburg for Roy Oswalt? I do too. Check out what I had to say here.
I also wrote about David Ortiz complaining about the media's coverage of his slump. While I can see his point that the media wrote him off way too soon, he also has a real blind spot when it comes to the press. Read my article here.
You can still join up with The Faster Times and help Squawker Jon and me - we get 70 percent of the proceeds if you designate one of us as the columnist of your choosing. You can sign up for as little as $12. But if you pay $60 or more, you can get a column written by me on any baseball topic you'd like me to write about! What a deal. There are also all sorts of cool gifts you get with membership, from magazine subscriptions to tote bags to assorted other goodies.
But that's not all. If you sign up today, you'll get invited to a very cool literary networking event this Thursday, featuring all sorts of big names in the industry. Check out info here.

The Faster Times makes the New York Times
This Sunday's New York Times Magazine has a piece about new online journalism sites, and features The Faster Times, the site Squawker Jon and I also write for, in the article. Check it out and tell me what you think. Sam Apple, the man behind The Faster Times, is a terrific person, and a real visionary. Jon and I are so happy to write on his site.
Also, The Faster Times is having its first ever membership drive. If you sign up, and pick a particular writer (ahem!), not only will that writer (ahem!) get 70% of the earnings, but you will get some nifty gifts, depending on how much you give. There are magazine subscriptions, tote bags, and such available.
But there is a big bonus gift for those who sign up and designate their donation to go to me - if you join and spend $60 or more to give to this writer, I will write a column on the topic of your choosing. Think of what mayhem a Sox fan could cause with this!
You can also give to Squawker Jon; however, he's offering no personal bonus gifts - yet!

My thoughts on Joe Torre, Jonathan Papelbon, and MLB playoffs
I've written a bunch of articles for The Faster Times this week about what's going on in the MLB playoffs. Here are the links for them, if you'd like to check them out:
First up, Joe Torre snoozed in the dugout while Clayton Kershaw struggled against the Phillies last night. What a shocker!
Then, I actually defended Jonathan Papelbon against the Boston boobirds. To me, the only reason to boo your own player is lack of effort. Papelbon was showing effort; he just stunk.
I also took a look at the four teams left in the playoffs, and what question marks each team had.
And, if you haven't seen it, I dissed Boston for dredging up that whole Dave Henderson-Donnie Moore unpleasantness.
