The Rundown Lite: Downturn in Sports Blogs, Live KBO Baseball on YouTube, Cancellations Elsewhere Raise Questions, 9 Cubs Make Quirky Best-Ever List

Today’s Rundown is going to be brief, mainly because the inimitable Michael Canter apparently has “too much work to do.” Sure, Mike, the one day you’re suddenly inundated with work just happens to be the day after your birthday. How convenient. It’s almost as though real life takes precedence.

Speaking of which, and I mentioned this at the end of my piece on Kyle Hendricks the other day, real life has absolutely superseded sports. That goes for the entire industry, including blogs like this one. We’re operating at about 20-30% of the traffic we did at this same time last year and maybe 10-20% of what we’d projected due to growth.
