Newsclicker

In the interest of piling on bells and whistles whose malfunction could take down this site in a New York minute, I’ve added this little scrolling baseball gadget up top there, courtesy of Newsclicker.com. It seemed like a great idea to start implementing at 1 AM on a Sunday night/Monday morning. If nothing else, it’s a pretty quick way to find out scores and the top headlines, though it will probably start to piss me off sooner or later (shaking Homer Simpson-esque fist at scrolling gadget: “You’re on thin ice already, scrolly…”). Feel free to bitch if it’s bringing you down. Customer satisfaction is guaranteed here at FutilityMart, where we always charge the lowest prices on baseball opinions (insert voice of heckler here: “Yeah, and they’re worth exactly what we’re paying!” Thank you, Brett T., wherever you are…).

The idea to add the clicker was ripped off from an excellent Yankee-centric site by a writer named Cecilia Tan. She (yes, she) writes for Yankees Magazine as well as her own site. Her link and several others have been added to my recently revamped links page. Most of the changes have been to the weblog section. Let me know if I’ve screwed anything up or if you’d like to recommend a site for inclusion.
