Twitter user @kzamthiel said, “I agree, build the wall around you and all those that think (wrongly) like you do.

Next comes a blog-related twist on viral marketing–recruiting “key influence bloggers” to promote Raging Cow by sharing their enthusiasm, linking to the site and distributing special screensavers, banners and skins.

The Miami Herald’s Barry Jackson and Clark Spencer reported Monday that Stanton and veteran infielders Martin Prado and Dee Gordon will be used by the Bruce Sherman-Derek Jeter ownership group to pare down Miami’s 2018 payroll to $90 million. None of those names produces shock.

Rich Waltz begins the game in a unique way, by throwing down to on-field reporter Allison Williams. “Lineup change for Mike Redmond,” Waltz says, after reading the lineup. “A-Dub, what did Redmond say about this spot?” The change is that Marcell Ozuna is batting cleanup and Casey McGehee is batting fifth. Breaking away from first pitch to go down to a reporter displays more urgency than is needed for this incredibly minor switch....
