I’ve read this site before, but it definitely deserves another plug. Written by Edward Cossette, Bambino’s Curse: Diary of a Red Sox Fan is one of the better baseball weblogs I’ve encountered. The design is beautiful, but it’s the writing that really sets Bambino’s Curse apart. Here’s a tidbit from a recent post:

“For me my metamorphosis to the next level began with the Fenway chants for Youkilis: ‘Yooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!’ in that deep throated, all encompassing crowd roar, like we imagine the voice of the Creator might sound like. And then there’s Youkilis, himself, in the batter’s box, the rookie, the Greek God of Walks, Kevin Youkilis already weighted with expectation per Moneyball and Billy Beane’s desire to have him on the A’s roster, already laying the groundwork for the stuff of legends when his first Major League hit cleared the fences… There’s Youkilis coming up in the 5th with the Sox already up 5 zilch, and there he goes knocking a strident double to left, looking every bit like he was born to do just that, waiting his whole life to do just that, a no questions asked hit to left and an emphatic, cocksure stance on the bag at second. “

That is some gorgeous prose. I’m not really a Red Sox fan, although it’s hard not to love the team’s current collection of characters, but this site is worth a read regardless of which team you call “mine”.
