Yeah, I don't see us starting the season until sometime next week.

Yeah, it's been four months since I've been able to look up and see several teams ahead of the White Sox in the standings. It'll be like slipping back into a pair of comfortable, well-worn shoes.

Looking back on it, I think the 2014 Franchise Tournament was both our greatest undertaking and greatest success in the time I've been around RM. I hope this one does the last one justice.

you're absolutely right about that

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.

Are you saying you'll track my stats for me?

Hey there! Yeah, it's been a while. I'm glad you're still on board for repping your Fish in this.

I'm saying I'm going to see if that's a giant pain in the ass or not.

I think the bigger question is, are you going to provide Paul Molitor with the cocaine he'll need to fuel a Hall of Fame-level performance this season?

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.

What are your thoughts on Rickey Henderson?
He's the greatest.

I mean, as Billy James said, you could split Rickey in two, and have two hall of famers.

Whoa, this guy's cool!

Ah, okay.

True story, my mom would go to Brewers games with my dad just to check out Molitor's butt. /:
