Sports Illustrated.com has started a new baseball blog on their site called Fungoes, which will rotate through seven writers and all six divisions over the course of each week of the 2007 baseball season. Among those seven writers are our founder Alex Belth, who will cover the AL East, fellow Toaster Jon Weiseman, who will cover the NL West, and myself as the seventh man tackling a random baseball topic of my choosing every Friday under the “Wild Card” header.

Alex’s posts will appear every Monday. Check out his first post from this past Monday, in which Alex muses about Opening Day from an AL East perspective. My first post is up today and takes a look at the historical significance of the Arizona Diamondback’s new uniforms (with apologies to Paul Lukas). Mr. Weisman’s first effort, meanwhile, focused on the underrated Colorado Rockies (with apologies to Mark T.R. Donohue, I’m sure).

I hope you’ll all join us over there in addition to your regularly scheduled programming here on Baseball Toaster. And don’t be shy about dropping some comments over at SI, either.
