A Quick Introduction

Greetings, all. Just thought I would fire off a quick post to introduce myself as the newest front page poster here at Twinkie Town. Some of you might be familiar with my blog, or some of the various other places I write, but this season I'll be hanging around here on Wednesdays.
Jesse had asked me a few times in the past to come aboard here at Twinkie Town, and I've always been forced to decline due to an already packed schedule. Things look similarly busy this year, but I finally caved because I think you guys have assembled the best Twins community on the net and I simply couldn't say no to the opportunity to take part in it during what should be a hallmark season for the franchise.
I don't know exactly how my role here will shape up but I hope to add a new and distinct voice to the outstanding collection already appearing here on the front page and in many of the FanPosts. With games kicking off tomorrow in Florida, baseball has finally arrived. I look forward to contributing here and taking in the season with all of you. Thanks for having me.

Welcome!
I have long admired your work. When Jesse hinted at a new front page guy to replace me (I needed to step away to promote my book), I hoped it would be you. I’m so glad you accepted.

Welcome man! I am a big fan of your blog and very excited to have you contribute to Twinkie Town!
Cmath...
…I knew you had an increased workload with your employer. What book?

Oddly enough, it’s not about baseball at all, but rather abstinent vampires, moody high school girls, and werewolves with ripped abs. Whatever sells, I guess.

What the what?
I thought you were starting a coffee shop, not increased duties at work or writing a book? Stick to a story con man.

Welcome aboard!
It hurts having to again move down to the fifth-best regular, as cmath’s retirement moved me up to #4… but it’s worth it.
Look at it this way...
Your name is listed first at the bottom of the page. You win! (Or something)

Funny.
I first came here back in the day becuase Twins Geek rec. it and said he may start posting here. Where is my Twins Geek! Where is my Batgirl!
It’s great have Nick though. Welcome.

Im' out here guys....
but I can never remember my user id and password, and so I always need to reset my account, and so I rarely post comments. The process drives me crazy.
Just use your yahoo ID
Then you only have to remember that.
Welcome!
Frequent reader of your blog and happy to have you here!
One less website to go to and not find Nick Nelson
sigh….
Welcome

GREAT NEWS!
Not to get all mushy, but I follow a few other SBNation blogs and the talent here is so completly head and shoulders above the rest, and now only gets better. Great to hear this!
I always loved that one.
Agreed.
The writing and community here are pretty great. Nice to have another established Twins blogger around. :)
