Glog

What is a Glog?   "A Glog^sm is a live game log. It is the expert color commentary, the conversation you are having with your buddies on the couch and the critiques you are making from the cheap seats all rolled into one."   Such is the description on the CBS Sportsline fantasy sports section. Translation: a "live" web broadcast of text-based baseball action, with the addition of pseudo-color commentary (no commas were omitted in the quotation.)

Por ejemple:

CLE 17 - NYY 1 - Bottom 6 - 2 out
Ben Broussard has taken the golden sombrero tonight, as he strikes out for the fourth time tonight. Someone has to make the outs and tonight, that someone has been Broussard.
CLE 17 - NYY 1 - Bottom 6 - 1 out
Victor Martinez has collected his fifth hit of the evening and we are only in the bottom of the sixth inning. The Indians continue to pour it on, taking out some season-long frustrations on the beleaguered Yankees bullpen right now.
CLE 17 - NYY 1 - Bottom 6 - 1 out
Travis Hafner belts his second home run of the evening, both coming to opposite field. That is also the sixth home run of the night for Cleveland batters, as the Indians continue to mash the ball.
CLE 16 - NYY 1 - Bottom 6 - 0 out
We get wholesale changes from the Yankees, as all but A-Rod and Melky Cabrera are getting early showers today in this laugher.
CLE 16 - NYY 1 - Top 6 - 1 out
Ronnie Belliard just makes a ridiculous play at second place. A-Rod sends a ball up the middle for a near single, but Belliard fields it on one-hop and flips behind his back to second for the force. They nearly picked up the improbable double play with A-Rod slowly running to first.
CLE 16 - NYY 1 - End 5
The Indians plate nine runs in the bottom of the fifth inning, as the home team leads by 15. Belliard's comebacker was fielded by Myers to mercifully end the nine-run inning.
CLE 16 - NYY 1 - Bottom 5 - 2 out
The rain starts to fall here, as that is the last thing the Yankees want to see. They just want to get this thing over with. Anyway, Sizemore walks, as Belliard is now the 14th batter of the inning for Cleveland.
CLE 16 - NYY 1 - Bottom 5 - 2 out
It's just one of those days for the Yankees, as Aaron Boone now lines one up the middle for a base hit to plate two more runs. The Indians are now up a whopping 15 runs, as the fireworks have started early here on July 4th for the home team. Sizemore is the 13th batter to come to the plate in this inning.

Oh, did I mention the Yankees got their asses kicked tonight?

What is a Glog? A Glog is fucking awesome in a game like that.
