Joe blows up.

Joe PoThis has been a big week for Joe Posnanski on the blogs.

Who’s Joe Posnanski, you ask? He’s a sports columnist for the Kansas City Star, a paper with a history of developing big time writing talents.

I’d never heard of Posnanski before this week. I probably should have heard of him, since he was recently voted the best sports columnist in America. But I hadn’t.

Now it seems like his name is everywhere (online).

First, I read where Yahoo’s Jeff Passan called him “among the best writers in the business” in an interview published on The Big Lead.

Then, I saw the U.S.S. Mariner and Vegas Watch both linked to his blog, which argues that Curt Schilling’s new contract could be the end of the Cy Young Award.

(If you get a chance, check out that blog entry. It’s long and it’s smart and you’ll be a better person for having read it.)
