PrintI just wanted to let everyone know what's going to be going on with myself and USA Today over the next couple of weeks (month, hopefully).
First of all, in today's USA Today's Sports Weekly you can find a blurb about the Red Sox written by me. USA Today contacted me and I will be "Bloggin' Baseball" for them regarding everything Red Sox for the duration of the playoffs. That's the first thing you can check out.
Second, the actually blogging is located right here. I'll be posting there a few times a day for as long as the Red Sox are in the playoffs. Everything at USA Today will be new content from myself, though. So anything you read here, you will not see at USA Today, and vice versa. Make sure to check out both sites at least 1,200 times a day.
If you have any suggestions for myself or anything Over The Monster related, please shoot me an e-mail to rbooth AT overthemonster DOT com.
Enjoy.

Thanks all
Hopefully it means even more exposure for Over The Monster.
Now let’s just hope the Sox win, win and win some more. Another World Series trophy, anyone?
Meh.
Sounds like it would be more troublesome than helpful.

Nice man.

Yeah, guys
I need some OTM backing over at USA Today. I know ALL of you would love to rip into him for his latest post:
I'm trying.
Would be nice if I didn’t have to register for another account – why can’t OpenID be universal, and less glitchy?

Seriously, boss, do the adult thing and don't attack the Halos.
Be professional about it and it’ll look better to outsiders.

I'm certainly not going to stoop to his level
I mean, his latest post is just awful. Completely ridiculous.
I started mine because they ripped me on AngelsWin for ridiculous reasons.
I meant the "ridiculous reasons" ripping.
The chowder one wasn’t that bad. He seems kinda mad that you came up with a simple answer, it seems. Although using WINZ to make his point basically made me want to ignore him.

Would like to see the page that caused you to hate them though...

Those are some legit concerns though.
Aside from the bad use of stats and the lack of comprehension of Brooks’ graphs.

RE:
The thing about them saying I didn’t write enough about how the Sox could lose, is that we were supposed to write 100 words about “how my team could lose” and “how my team could win.” I stuck with the 100 words — he didn’t. So I look like I didn’t address all the problems…
Oh...
See, that’s what you should have mentioned when he was complaining. Also, was the editor REALLY telling y’all to get nasty?

RE:
Could have mentioned it, but I figured I wouldn’t and just keep playing the game. I can beat this guy at his own game without stooping to his level. No problem there.
And the editor wanted back and forth, but he didn’t say it like Ol’ Chuck describes it.
Ah.
I’d offer my help on destroying him with stats, but there’s two problems there: 1) I doubt he, or his readers, would give them the recognition they deserve, and 2) I might be a rare sight on here this weekend – I’ll try to get the Laundry up, but I won’t be able to guarantee I’ll have access to a computer. I’ll be sure to tweet you if I don’t think I can.

Wow.
That guy is obnoxious.

Congrats on the gig, hope they pay well.
Man that Angels blogger is a real douche, USA Today should have picked Rev, he is a much more talented writer and statistician.
Oh nice dig bringing it up, but I doubt he even caught it. Hes about as deep as a puddle.
Thanks
I suspect USAT didn’t choose Rev just because he is a little more — how should I say this? — in your face?
