An Appreciation for 6-4-2

SoSG would be remiss if we didn't use this Dodgers-Angels series to call out the fine work done by Rob McMillin over at 6-4-2. The blog itself purports to cover both Los Angeles teams, though that really isn't accurate as McMillin also covers the teams' minor-league affiliates, courtesy of some technical device that is well beyond the fuzzy-weighted educations of the Sons. (Needless to say, if you ever want to see how the next Dodgers' minor league phenom is doing for the 51s or 66ers, 6-4-2 is your place.)

Occasionally, 6-4-2 posts some off-topic posts, with subjects ranging from oil prices to Supreme Court decisions; and recently, one of these "OT" posts got a pretty high level of critical comments in return. To his credit, Rob answered and even published privately-sent emails he received, both positive and negative, and answered points with courtesy and decorum. In an age where mainstream media stalwarts pooh-pooh blogs for lack of editorial control, Rob's approach was noticably measured and professional.

Hey, we at SoSG ain't one to comment on random posts...nor do we apologize for them. Heck, it's difficult writing about a moribund offense every day. And we've got more than one guy on staff!

Rob has been a kind commenter of SoSG from the start, including a ton of encouraging feedback when we were just starting this gig almost two years ago (without even mentioning the bountiful blog revenue streams, either!). Keep up the great work, Rob.
