RSS Feeds
I'm now using a news aggregator called Feed Demon to try to do a better job of reading as many baseball blogs as I can every day. I've found the ones with obvious RSS feeds, but sometimes they don't stick out. So if you have a baseball blog with an RSS feed, please either e-mail me with the URL or leave it in the comments for this post. Thanks.

If you view source on a blog, most of the time the ones that have an RSS feed will have a line similar to this:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="http://www.baseballmusings.com/index.rdf" />
The feed is just the href.
There's also a very good (free) news aggregator called NewsDesk, that you might want to try.
I have a feed for Bambino's and I know some folks use it.
Personally, I'm not on the RSS bandwagon myself. As a designer, I really enjoy seeing the content within the web design. And I know I'm not alone in that thinking, as I got so many angry emails when I switched over to the Fox Sports gig for the summer. People wanted to read Bambino's with the Bambino's design and not the FSNE design.
Then again, so many baseball blogs don't really aspire to much of a design ethos beyond the basic MT/TypePad/Blogger template, that is probably does make sense to just read the RSS feed.
Edw., with FeedDemon we get the best of both worlds: we can be notified when one updates their weblog, and after a short description we can click the link to read the rest at the actual website -- Windows and IE6 needed, I think.
Here's one:

I thought a topic like this would definitely inspire many bloggers. At least more than nothing. Bad luck there is noone here
