Peter Gammons of ESPN.com now has a blog. However, it's an Insider subscription feature and it really reads more like a traditional column than Buster Olney's blog.

It's not like Gammons needs to include links to other stories since the GMs and agents are calling him anyway. Gammons' first entry actually is much more focused and devoid of pop music references compared to Diamond Notes. I don't think Score Bard could write a Random Gammons Blog generator.

And even though Gammons refers to Baseball Musings, it isn't linked. (Correction: There are links if you click on the "Readings" tab")

Are you trying to tempt me?

I wouldn't call it 'tempt,' more like dare.

I think of it as more of as a goading.

The 'temptation' would be in coughing up the $40 (or whatever it costs) to subscribe, so I could have some examples to work from. The technology side is not a problem.

The blog is written with long paragraphs and just a few themes. It doesn't hop from place to place like Diamond Notes.

Gammons has gone to a blog format and changed his writing style to make it more conventional.

Really, Gammons is on Insider? I haven't missed his Boston loveletters one bit.
