I Need Your Input

PrintEverybody,
I am hoping you can help me out. I'd like to create a good list of fan sites for each team. I have such a list, but a lot of the sites on it are defunct, and I'd like to update.
I know the ones John frequents, but I'm betting that you have ones that he doesn't know about.
If you have a fan site that is devoted to a specific team that you respect and enjoy, please put a link to it in the replies.
Thanks!
JERI

One thing that's nice is that they work well together, referencing each other and having some crossover bloggers. In synch, so to speak.

Atlanta Braves
Chop-N-Change (http://www.chop-n-change.com)
Talking Chop (http://www.talkingchop.com)
Rowland's Office (http://rowlandsoffice.typepad.com)
Braves & Birds (http://bravesandbirds.blogspot.com)
Sabernomics (not exactly a Braves blog; it's about the economics of baseball, but written by a Braves fan: http://www.sabernomics.com/)

I also read Chop-N-Change and Talking Chop from time to time. Can't really say about the others.
If you have to choose one, Braves Journal is clearly the best blog on the web for Braves content (daily game threads and recaps during the season, etc. as well as a decent community).

Rain Delay: http://rain-delay.com
Currently on Hiatus, but will return before the end of the month. I usually take some of the winter off, just to recharge the batteries.
It's kinda a duel blog, as I talk about the Mariners a bit too. But much more Braves content, than Mariners.

Rangers
- Adam Morris's Lone Star Ball has a lively group of daily posters with animated discussion the norm. http://www.lonestarball.com/
- Every team should be lucky enough to have a Jamey Newberg. He passionately covers the entire system and probably knows as much about Ranger prospects as anyone. http://www.newbergreport.com/
- Scott Lucas posts interesting analysis from time to time, and his blog features detailed minor league stats and a team depth chart. http://rangers.scottlucas.com/
- Mike Hindman blogs at mlb.com with in depth looks at minor leaguers. He's currently ranking all the organization's top prospects, just finished up the starting pitchers. http://rangersfarmreport.mlblogs.com/
- CJ Wilson and Brandon McCarthy both post comments at Lone Star Ball occasionally, joining in the discussions. Wilson also has a blog through mlb.com. Not a fan site, per se, but always an interesting read. http://cjwilson.mlblogs.com/

But if you dig through the bs there is some good info there.

I may not possess the experience or readership that Adam and Jamey have, but I'd like to think I provide some interesting insight.

not actually written by your standard whackjob blogger
College Baseball Blogs
Boyd's World is a gem. It gives weekly updates of all team's RPI ratings after the season gets underway.
Rivals.com College Baseball has some decent articles and an active national discussion forum.
College Baseball Blog is a well maintained national clearinghouse for news and articles.
Baseball America's College Site is probably the best national coverage, but most of it is pay.
Cleveland Indians
http://indianstopprospects.blogspot.com/
