[Lament]

I'm gonna try to get Miguel Cabrera to autograph a Ke$ha cd.

I'd prefer Alex Avila, but he'll be at White Sox camp

[Lament]

His experience will come in handy as the White Sox try to not finish in last place.

I think I finally figured out how to upload new stats without the link changing. This should (hopefully) be the link for my stats (which are up-to-date through game 24).

I just kinda blew my own mind at the thought of being at a baseball game in two weeks.

Thinking about baseball is the only thing that keeps me going when it's -45 outside.

I don't miss that kind of weather at all.

stats updated through today.

IIRC the Red Sox had a mediocre first half last time, as well.

I went back and looked, cause I remembered them starting slow too, but by the All-Star Break they pretty much completely turned around.

I made a terrible mistake and switched to 2000 Pedro for this year's tournament. Last time we went with 1999.

[Norah]

But if I'm being honest, the real mistake was letting Sparky Lyle on this team.

[numbers]

I knew we should have gone with Rich Hill.

[Norah]

I'll never doubt you again.

[numbers]

Did you ever run any sims with him?

[Norah]

Nope, but when I was running all the pre season sims with the team as it stands now there wasn't any obvious person to drop. The team looked really fucking solid going into this thing.

[numbers]

I still feel like it will turn around.

[Norah]

Oh me too.

[numbers]

Jim Wynn has been a monster for the Astros. I really fucked up not having him on the team last year, I don't even remember coming across his name as a candidate. I did a much better job putting that team together this time.

[Norah]

I really thought my two NL teams would be contenders.
