So, with the addition of TalkNats.com to the Nats Blogosphere, I decided to re-visit my blogroll and to do some adding\/removing as necessary.\u00a0 I culled through my RSS feed and did some re-arranging.\u00a0 The last time I really dug into a review of the Nats blogosphere was in March 2013<\/a>, and lots has changed since then.<\/p>\n

Here’s what my collection of Natsmosphere links looks like now.\u00a0 Let me know if you think i’m missing any.\u00a0 This is a combination of Nats blogs and “blogs” run by Nats beat reporters.\u00a0 I don’t count baseball columnists like Tom Boswell<\/strong> or Thom Loverro<\/strong> as “bloggers” here since they’re columnists and don’t entirely focus on the nats.<\/p>\n

Note: in some cases i’ve found that blogs that I thought went dark really just changed affiliations, changed their host name, eliminated their RSS feeds (like redporchreport.com), or something else.\u00a0 And it definitely seems like we’ve lost a “blog” from the Washington Times after Amanda Comak<\/strong> left the Times to go work for the team.\u00a0 So, please help me correct this list and tell me if I’m missing anyone.<\/p>\n

Beat Reporter Review<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

By the Way, am I missing any beat reporters?\u00a0 By my count, here’s the outlets covering the Nats and their beat reporter:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • MLB: Bill Ladson<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Washington Post: James Wagner, Chelsea Janes<\/strong> (formerly Adam Kilgore, Barry Svrluga<\/strong>)<\/li>\n
  • Washington Times: Zac Boyer, Todd Dybas<\/strong>?\u00a0 (formerly Amanda Comak<\/strong>)<\/li>\n
  • Comcast Sports Net: Mark Zuckerman, Chase Hughes<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • MASN: Byron Kerr, Chris Johnson, Pete Kerzel, Olivia Witherite<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Washington Examiner: Stopped covering sports in 2013.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Does anyone else cover this team regularly in print?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
