Congrats to RAB, WasWatching, BronxBanter

Big, hearty congrats to the fine guys at River Ave. Blues for earning a big presence on the new YES website.

The new-look yesnetwork.com will feature three video highlights per game, up from two in the prior accord with MLBAM; a new design that resembles MLB.com and the Yankees.com team site; an extensive series of text and video blogs from both network personnel and outside sources such as the River Ave. Blues blog; and greatly expanded social-networking capabilities.

RAB has been a leader in fan blogs and this is a nice leap forward for them. The guys there have been very good to me, linking here on occasion, twice this week alone.

If you get a chance, drop by and wish them well.

In addition to RAB on YESnetwork.com, it seems that some of my other favorite blogs are gaining additional prominence on other sports networks site, including WasWatching and Alex Belth's Bronx Banter:

SNY, seeking to take on a more universally New York tone than some of its local competitors, also last fall added a second prominent Yankees-related blog, Bronx Banter, to its emerging blog network. The blog joins Yankees-themed WasWatching.com on the site.

Memo to all: I'm ready to join ya!

I know some blogs out there are ultra-competitive and like to cut down the others. Me, I am just happy that the dialogue and discourse continues to flourish and I am happy to see these blogs grow and succeed. Great work, all.


thanks to Pete Toms for the heads up
