Congratulations!

Look forward to reading your stuff on there. Oh, and hey, be very careful if Fangraphs hires any interns that look like this:

I think devil_fingers

has the good sense to stay the hell away from Steve Phillips. :)

That doesn't mean that Phillips wouldn't give it a shot

I mean, look at that chick. Although I’ve never seen him, I wouldn’t be surprised if devil_fingers was better looking.

I'd go for Kruk first

he seems like a cuddler

I'm not a sabermetrician, but I do play one at Driveline Mechanics.

I guess we prepare ourselves for some more lengthy fangraphs posts...

their posts are oftentimes 2 or 3 of paragraphs, while d_fs ofter require 2 or 3 smoke breaks.

congrats D_F

so are they starting a spinoff fangraphs site?

by royalsreview on Nov 6, 2009 3:17 PM EST reply actions 0 recs

I think like just about every other website nowadays...

…they have one or more blogs as part of the website.

Good Luck not getting banned @ the K next year

I, personally will lose all respect for you if you are still able to walk through the turnstiles freely by say, June 1st.

BOOM! ROASTED!

The more things change...

It does pay to be an overbearing, obnoxious, know-it-all; deeply insecure, who has to constantly convince themselves and others how smart they are. Congratulations, you should do well.

I can assure you that you are alone in those sentiments

Two comments at RR in 6 months and one of them was that.

Sounds like someone is bitter.

So, you're saying the obstacle to my success

is insecurity, then?

d_f, congrats my man!

I know you say it’ll be easy to identify your articles but I’m still scared I’ll stupidly not know… but anyways, best of luck and I’m very proud of you.
