Slog - Comments on Female Celebrity Sports Blogs http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/10/female_celebrity_sports_blogs Alyssa Milano's baseball blog, which is called *touch* 'em all for some reason, features her love of the Dodgers and her love of her new MLB clothing line for women--touch. Oh, I get it. Hilarious excerpt: And what’s going on with the Dodgers clubhouse in total disarray? My take is that Grady’s inconsistency with his lineups this entire year put the youth and the veterans in direct competition with each other. Had Grady solidified a youth-dominant lineup, only making adjustments when necessary, I believe it would have given everyone time to adjust to their positions on the team and how...

Only male celebrity sports bloggers are smart, like the one who said he'd throw a fastball at a gay batter's head or the one who is an expert on learning sports lessons from Jesus.

Garth Brooks used to have a children charity called Touch'em All that was somehow Little League related. I think it's since changed it's name, for obvious reasons.

I think it was originally the catch phrase of Minnesota Twins radio announcer Herb Carneal, but I could be wrong.

Methinks you ought to read Alyssa's blog more often.

PS. What's so "hilarious" about her excerpt? The Dodgers' unwillingness to play James Loney, Matt Kemp, and other talented kids for much of the year quite possibly explains their absence from postseason play. Alyssa's terminology may be a bit odd, but it's no less babble-icious than your standard sportswriting.

And some other teams I could mention....

I have no opinion on female vs male sports intelligence whatsoever. The excerpt was "hilarious" because it wasn't hilarious. See? It was serious baseball analysis.

*which arguably does not exist, as the pairing of "serious" and "baseball" is a mind-fucking contradiction of terms
