If you're an idiot you better avoid this blog because it's going to be pointed out to you.
If you're spouting crap about issues that you know nothing about you'd better avoid this blog because you are going to be corrected, and not in a friendly way.
I love it.
Well-written, insightful if a bit coarse at times, and never shy, John Perricone's OBM is the place if you're looking for a different take on steroids and baseball. Perricone's defiant defense of Barry Bonds has won him the admiration of many readers (and lost him a few, no doubt), but his knowledge and willingness to stick out his neck make him a great read.
It's a sabremetric empire in the blogs, at least the ones I read. John doesn't do too much of that. But he watches the team like a hawk, with clear eyes. Excellent, perceptive, dyspeptic conversation about the Giants.
