Joe Torre (supposedly) has a blog. And we don't care. Why? Because baseball players treat blogs like new girlfriends: lots of attention at first, then nothing. To wit:

In fairness, Tommy Lasorda—or his overworked, underpaid personal assistant—updates his blog regularly. And Takashi Saito's "Challenge Blog" seems well-maintained...if you read Japanese.

"But baseball players have full-time jobs," you say. Hey, so do we. If you say baseball players have better things to do, you'll get no argument here. But then why start a blog in the first place?

Leave the blogging to us, Dodgers. You guys worry about breaking the hearts of Dodger fans everywhere.
