Are the players reading this blog?

by atomburn on Sep 7, 2006 3:26 PM PDT

This is a question I frequently ask myself. If I were a professional athlete and therefore a kind of celebrity, enamored of my own success and mildly narcissistic, I would totally read the best blogs about myself. Who wouldn't????

So, I wonder who's reading this blog and more importantly, who is posting anonymously?

Give your best analysis of HH posters and who they actually are on the team/organization.

Sweet! Put me in coach, I'm ready to play!

FYI, I played with the Obfuscation brothers in AA Pocatello. Eschew had a nasty spitter, but his brother Abnegate was incredible at the plate. Too bad he was such a head case.

No.

Fire Mickey Hatcher. An entire generation of Angels offense depends upon it.

From what i gather

There is inevitably some people in any sports organization that are going to do a google search and read some of the links. And this is the biggest Angels fan-site on the internet. I didn't say best, I said biggest. And I didn't say worst.

L.A. Seitz had a post last season of a phenomena he noticed on his SiteMeter that every day or two the term "Steve Physioc" had clicked over from google.

What is funny is... I HAD NOTICED IT TOO ON MY SiteMeter! ... and it was never during game-time.

As for the players, I doubt they have that much time, but one can imagine that their agents, families and good friends do quite a bit - and that they likely hear about it, second hand - consider that if you type in Darin Erstad Angels, the 11th link in google is HIS HALOS HEAVEN ALL-TIME ANGELS PROFILE. You think he has heard about that from some cousin or in-law? I have no evidence that he has, but you gotta assume some of the team at least knows we exist.

Do we have an impact on the day-to-day operations? Of the team, NO. Of the organization? probably not, but I did bitch about the Brittany-heavy synth-pop at the stadium earlier this season and have been treated to a pregame diet of inoffensive classic rock and baseball organ music, so in the words of Bugs Bunny, mmmmmmm could be!

Nearly everyone at times ego-surfs on google. Do they get wrapped up in the culture of peole mentioning them? I don't know, but I cannot get wrrapped up in thinking to hard about it.

I tried to post a reply

and it failed...is that why?? was gonna post this:
here's one of my faves->
A girl from the South and a girl from the North were seated side by side on a plane. The girl from the South, being friendly and all, said, "So, where ya'll from?" The Northern girl said, "From a place where they know better than to use a preposition at the end of a sentence."

The girl from the South sat quietly for a few moments and then replied, "So, where ya'll from, bitch?"
