I love the sport of baseball, and I have published many articles expressing my passion. Contrary to the ecstasy I experience every February, September, or any other month, I hate January baseball. I absolutely, positively can not stand January baseball.

Pitchers and Catchers report in THREE WEEKS!!!!
Tim – I feel your pain … haha, believe me
Phillip – welcome to the network! and thanks for the link, i never heard of ‘Blue Monday’ but that’s probably behind most of this …
Kristy – that comment allowed me to breath again, thanks ;)
I gotta disagree that this is a boring month for the sole reason that PECOTA is suppose to be out before the month ends. That is like Christmas Day, atleast for a nerd like me. Plus arbitration is interesting in some senses.
Well said Ryne…add to that the week off before the Super Bowl, no meaningful golf, mid-NBA dolldrums, and a college basketball season just hitting it’s in conference stride and I hate this week in sports.
I’m jonesing hard here!
Don’t worry, Ryne. What you are experiencing is likely just a by-product of having just passed “Blue Monday” — The Most Depressing Day of the Year…

No Baseball is probably just the final straw…
Just found this blog a few days ago after reading the Gammons blog. I’m thrilled to have found thoughtful discussion of my favorite baseball team outside of the mainstream media & SOSH.
Buck up, soldier. We’re almost there…

Not much into projections but they tackle Clay Bucholz here if anyone is interested.
the computer nazis at work have that site blocked … hopefully they never find MVN!
Ryne-
What is this “work” you speak of? Rumor has it you are sipping rum in Panama and cashing your mvn checks. ;)
Dan – totally agree, I *need* PECOTA.
Jared – was just about to post that. I especially like the comment stating that Clay is the depth. I love that as a nickname. The Depth.
This comment does not adhere to the stringent publishing quality of Fire Brand either.
Oh shit, per the Gammo quote, Red Sox officials read Fire Brand? I’m gonna be banned from Fenway any day now, with a restraining order against Theo.
Honestly, I love the Sox, but it’s more along the “Infected” by Bad Religion route instead of “wouldn’t it be nice.” I’m sure you understand.
Fire Brand has standards?!?! JK
Haha yeah very funny guys. I just try to give opinion and analysis on Fire Brand… not many blogs do it like we do.
Dave- check your email.
Relax. Take a deep breath. Soooon!
Lucky for you Ryne today is the last of January. I may have to pay a visit in the cold, snow covered area. I knew exactly where your coming from man.
