Son of a bitch. I was originally joking about not wanting this guy around, but now I want to keep him out out of pure jealousy.

That's why Phil is calling for a complete and total shutdown of all baseball writers from entering RM.

How does one keep stats if someone else runs the simulation?

Oh dear, I have arrived.

To answer a few questions, I'm not *really* an MLB.com writer at this point, though I did write there last year. I'm just with FanGraphs, despite my day job is being a full time nerd for STATS.

Kesha is awesome.

So is Star Wars

My username on WhatIfSports is davidwiers, team names are WiersvsLHP and WiersvsRHP. Thanks for letting me into this inner circle of great minds...and Skitch.

In this corner of the Intertet writing for FanGraphs is more impressive than writing for MLB.com.

Thanks again!

and this takes nerd to a whole new level. Although Lament is cool enough that it saves us all from dying of nerdness.

Im hoping going with Rudy York instead of Bill Freehan could be a boon for my offense.

Not the first heartbreaking walk off Eck has surrendered...

But to be fair, I was two years old when Gibson ruined him in the World Series.

Wait, so this isn't a league full of 35+ people? Huzzah!

This just raises the question of why we're on this archaic forum...I could just build us a subreddit...Takes like 5 minutes.
