OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

I think the fact that I have zero hope for anyone connected with this team this year is paying dividends in stress free fandom.

On the ML team I really only care about Olt, Rizzo, Castro and even Castillo all improving.

I'd like them to improve, but I have neither hope nor despair about them. If they do great, cool. If not, whatever.

Chuck is (sigh) right. I'm obviously aware it's only been a week, but after last season it'd be comforting if either of them had looked better. If either/both of them are mediocre or worse long-term, it's going to slow the rebuilding even further.

Again, I just want someone to comfort me at this point, damn it.

Nice hitting last night...I only got to see highlights, but Starlin made solid contact and it was nice seeing Rizzo hang in against a LHP and single in a big run.

One game, whatever, but still a sliver of encouragement.

Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.

I'm vaguely disappointed that there are no typos.
