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.

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.

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!
