<div>I think you were perhaps right the first time. I once had to deal with a self-inflicted dame, and she was indeed the best kind.</div>

Hard to argue with your conclusion that the offseason hurt the Bombers the most, but that's only if you don't count Brad Lee's self inflicted damage.<br>

Thanks. Neither 50 nor 49, and well, let’s just leave it at that. If curious, I am celebrating in my usual fashion: by working. Will use any birthday money to buy The Winick Mag.<br>
<br>
Question for Brad: were the Bombers the USML team most damaged by real-world offseason moves (loss of Melky Cabrera and Trevor Cahill to NL)?<br>

Regardless of his chronological age, our fearless mountain climbing commissioner is no doubt the fittest of us all. Happy Birthday, Mr. B! If, in fact, this is F-1, I say celebrate with abandon. Next year is sure to feel a little different.<br>
<br>
In answer to your question, Professor, I am informed that the magazine, pixilated image and all, will be on the stands by early next week.<br>
<br>
That is all.<br>

<br>
Birthday greetings to our erstwhile Commissioner. Am I correct that we're just shy of the big 5-0?<br>
<br>
Now, back to business.<br>
<br>
1. Where is the Winick Magazine? I need to begin my prep, and gazing at Jeff's pixilated image is key part of getting started.<br>
<br>
2. Brad -- why the hell haven't you circulated retention rosters yet? It's almost February. Please get to work.<br>
<br>
That is all.<br>
