If someone has a real game log prepared, feel free to delete this. We obviously need something to celebrate our new digs though.
I predict the Twins will break out offensively in a big way today, winning with a football type score of 27-10.
April 17, 2011: The Sun Came Up
Half-baked, I tells ya. Somebody forgot to clean the pot out last night. This is what happens with group houses.

This is also the birthday of Twins’ farmhand Deolis Guerra (1989). There do not appear to be any major league players with connections to the Minnesota Twins who were born on this day.
Suggestion Box
This is where you voice your opinion on features and such. What makes the transition from the old place? What can be left behind? Do we start all over with BKAC? Jeff A asked if the birthday thing had run its course (I see what he’s saying, but although I almost never commented on it, I nearly always read it).
Anyway, go nuts.
April 16, 2011: New Beginnings
Hopefully the first of many more Cups of Coffee to come.
So, here we are
...home.
It's different and all, but we've attempted to keep what's important.
Make yourself comfortable, Citizens. Posts on conduct (which regulars know already; nothing has changed) and who to contact with creative (me (the Milkman)) and technical (sean and possibly others) questions are forthcoming.
In the meantime, assume your game logs and special features carry over.
