In the end, my dissolution with the game of baseball will not be a result of any loss of love for the game, rather from the realization that I can no longer bear the anger its supposed stewards cause to be built up in my soul. -Lee (01/08/2013)

Yep, realize that.  The thread was more of an excuse to re-hype Minor League Splits as anything. I love that site!

Why does Farmstros always put #3000 in his tweets?
There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

The #3000 hashtag is included only on my "Twitter-ku" tweets. These are part of THE QUEST FOR 3000 SYLLABLES.  THE QUEST is my attempt to tweet 177 haiku (3009 syllables) over the course of this minor league baseball season.
