Are you one of his dozens of illegitimate children?

Unlikely, I was always pretty bad at baseball.

Killing the board to replace it with a sub-reddit is an offensive concept to me, qwiers. We like our duct-taped, Crackpotted, individual board. I'm gonna call this guy McWalMart. Score another one for Big Internet.

Ah, okay.

I guess this reply took so long since you had to take a break from shuffling your Myspace Top 8 via AOL dial up.

Asher doesn't even have a twitter dot com.

Technology is new and therefore scary! /buries head in sand

My wife and I would like to thank you for having us over to your dinner party

Are you good at marrying strippers half your age?

Well, if both site options are free (hint: they are) then why choose the lesser of them? Concrete sequential? Masochism? I'm perplexed, so enlighten me.

this is where our community is

[E.H. Ruddock]

I mean, we've always run it here. I don't want to have to see these people on any more Internet sites than I have to.

This feels like as good a time as any to point out that I use Fangraphs to make pretty much all of my decisions in these things, and I've been terrible. So...

[davidwiers]

So...inertia? Okay, I can accept that. It's just an unusual medium of choice for a league.

[Norah]

it's where we were when we decided to start doing it

Lies, damn lies and statistics!

Still a work in progress, but here's the first version. I haven't thought about righty/lefty stuff yet, so I have another 10-12 players in a pool I can swap for some of these guys if necessary. Does the sim swap in good defensive players late in games, or is it waste to carry a couple guys who that would be their main role? Also, I chose 6 starters and 4 closers. Is that the right type of strategy for this sim?

You will learn to love it here. Because here is better than some sub-reddit. I know I'm being kind of hypocritical right now, but stop being a dick. This is our home.

Because this is where our history was made. This is where John Candelaria and Gary Peters threw their no-hitters. Where the SkitchPs pulled off a shocking sweep of Winning By Numbers in one of the greatest upsets ever. Where Pedro Martinez put chud and numbers on his back and carried them to a World Series title. Where the Garainals and Chudville Nine forged the greatest rivalry of the twenty-first century. Where Roger Clemens once started three different games for three different teams on the same day. Where we discovered #AvilaDevilMagic. Where we learned where George Brett invested all of his earnings.

This is our home.

I don't think he was being antagonistic here, he just doesn't know how rooted we all are.

I just teared up.
