Save the Victory starting to get some ink
I was surprised that since the launch of Save the Victory (wrote about it over the weekend) that they hadn’t gotten much attention. Either they weren’t talking about it to anyone outside the online soccer world or no one has thought it was interesting that someone is trying to establish the FIRST fan owned sports…
Various Baird notes from over the weekend (mostly focussing on TeacherRefPoet)
Jim did a really good job live-blogging the town hall in Olympia, and here’s his more personal debrief. He struck a thought in me. Solidarity is over-rated. More on that later. Randy notes the Olympian’s story. Randy should link to more blogs.TeacherRefPoet takes a strident point of view on the entire debacle and says “My…

The Packers are the one really fan-owned…
Campillo suspended, a price too heavy
Even though I’m not much for watching Mariners lately (too many MLS, EPL, World Cup and Eufa Champions League games recorded), I did watch the few innings that Jorge pitched a couple of days ago. So, I was watching when he flattened Vlad the Destroyer with an inside pitch which resulted in his four game…
Jason Hearn is a…
Good guy apparently: Hearn is a good fit for council Jason Hearn is good for Lacey. Unlike our neighboring city councils, we in Lacey are blessed with men and women who are making righteous decisions for us every day. Running for the vacant seat on our city council, Hearn will complement and enhance the family…
How not to spread baseball worldwide
Following the (hopefully temporary) closure of the Puerto Rican winter league, MLB is fighting back claims in a shocked shocked way that there will be a shortage of players for the other Latin American winter leagues this year. While there might not be a shortage of players per-se for the winter leagues, there will likely…
