Good morning, folks...
I’ve been out there checking around for Texas Rangers news this morning, and, well...
Over at Fangraphs, David Laurila has his Sunday notes column up.
In non-baseball news, author Anne Rice has died. I’m a fan of a lot of Anne Rice’s work, though like Norman Mailer, while her best work is transcendent, she also has written a fair amount of really terrible books, as well. The first time I made that comparison, the listener was horrified that I would compare Anne Rice to Norman Mailer, but I think for this limited purpose the comparison is apt — their best work is among my favorite things I’ve ever read, they’ve both written a lot of things I’ve enjoyed, and they’ve also written some of my least favorite books either — terrible, and very long.
