My main ones

STATZ
FanGraphs – Has pretty much every stat you’ll ever need, plus a ton of great articles everyday.
First Inning – Great minor league stats, especially if you like your stats SABR.
Cot’s Contracts – Awesome for any and all contract info.
Baseball Reference – If you don’t this, you don’t know baseball.
Minor League Splits – Exactly what it sounds like. Awesome resource.
The Baseball Cube – Another great minor league stats resource, also has college stats.

I was really enjoying this site until i noticed it links to PR

Still and all, why bother? Here's my answer. Many people need desperately to receive this message: I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone.

If you need to know what Tom Brady thinks about the Sawx’ chances this year

"he walked 18; new league record! Struck out 18, another new league record! He also hit the sportswriter, the PA announcer, the bull mascot twice..."

My favorite thing about MCC

Is that I never really have to worry about missing out on any Giants news, since inevitably someone will post it in a thread or a fanshot or something. Makes things much easier.

I read fangraphs mostly, but i’m surprised no one has mentioned AZGiants.com, which is the #1 spring training site and provides extended coverage with great photography of all giants who’re down in arizona.

My Son was the third most valuable Giant position player by WAR in 2009. A little sad, a little happy.

Besides this one, Lefty Malo. Lefty is how I found this site.
I used to read onlybaseballmatters (which is how I found Lefty’s site) but he kept saying he was going to quit blogging so I took it off my bookmarks, only to check back a few months later and lo and behold he was still blogging. Maybe that’s an exaggeration but it seemed like it happened at least a couple of times!
But generally McC is my one-stop shop.

Still backing Notgardo, wheresoever he may wander. (Don't forget to wriiiite!)

FOR ME TO POOP ON

I know you nerds know NOTHING about the real game of baseball, or any other athletic endeavor requiring teamwork under physical stress.

might as well ask here

Is there any link that compiles all the giants-related GIFs? I’m specifically looking for the Lincecum fuck yeah and dance ones.
