October is a busy time in the Baseball Bloggers Alliance. Between voting on the BBA's various awards, keeping our sites busy, watching playoff baseball and the soap opera that has become the Boston Red Sox, our folks are busy. They are also busy writing great posts. Every Thursday, this site posts a rundown of links of the week's best from our general chapter. Enjoy.
