F-Rodr reacts to teammate Luis Castillo's game-losing error in the ninth inning against the Yankees.

It's kinda easy for us to become somewhat insular as fans, and I want to try and keep us (somewhat!) informed about what's going on elsewhere in the league. So, I've taken a trawl around the other 32 sites in the SB Nation baseball network [one for each team plus the three general sites], and picked the story from the past week on each that caught my attention. That's a pretty broad term: it might be a piece of team news; an interesting game recap; a well-written piece of analysis; an interesting debate in the comments; whatever.

I'm not promising this will be a weekly column - it may last no longer than today, since I had to be dropped off at work an hour before my scheduled start. But if time permits, it might be fun. All links open in a new tab, so you can click away, read the piece, then close the tab and be right back here. We care about your surfing experience here at AZ SnakePit...

See you after the jump for this week's selections.

I was actually

going to do another Around The Majors last Thursday (offday) but once again, we had about 14 articles, so I decided to save it.

When I get back from Chi-Town, I’ll resume.

Uhh, I don't think he knew he was on it

He’s in Chicago until next Saturday. Sooo my guess is no.

PHIL! Check your recap schedule dude!

Sorry, I’m not good for it either, I’m running errands tomorrow…

I wasn't expecting it

because I had the 31st…..

You did the 31st

Because your scheduled recap in Atlanta was rained out. Remember?

Yes, I do.

For some reason, I was expecting to do it next Sunday….

[Bangs head]

Yeah, seeing the word ‘Chi-town’ is what got me concerned… :-(

I CAN do it,

you’d be better off with somebody who actually watches the game though, which, I can’t do for obvious reasons.

But yeah, I can do it based on the GDT and AP recap.

We'll see how it goes

I might be about, and with an off-day Monday, I can probably a few more innings out of this tired old arm… :-)

If you get really desperate

Well,

I’ll keep checking the site to see how it sets up. As I said, I’m ready to go ahead and do it if you want me to stay on it.

I think

everyone on the internet needs to read the “How to Post” piece on Bluebird Banter.

Seconded

That one is a pretty excellent piece.

Eh.....

They’re a little bit stricter than the ’Pit, though.

It's basically

our rules, though, just codified.

Funny, Brown doesn't offer a degree in slut!

Not too much

Other than the “we’ll probably delete it if you talk about another team” most of it is the sort of thing that should be, but sadly isn’t, common sense on the internet.
