Happy Birthday, Tyler Bleszinski.


The man, the myth, the legend -- but enough about me.

Blez, the guy that started AN.  Kudos to you, congrats on everything AN/SBN has become.  Beer/BBQ/Adult Beverage of your choice, on me, next AN Day.

This might be violating the AN Fanpost rules.  Oh well.  Thanks for giving us a place to come talk about A's and not so much A's related things.  Enjoy your day.

(Also, please tell BIlly to sign Beltre.  Thx.)

Happy Birthday, Tyler.

Many thanks, indeed.

I'm here to talk about the past.

Also, I fully expect to take the AN fanpost rec lead just with this post alone.

Happy Birthday Blez!

Thanks for creating such a wonderful place for us to hang out. I think that my boss might prefer that I do work instead, but this place is much more fun. :)

Awwww thanks, Mike

Billy always seems to do something big on my birthday. I think the Haren deal was on my birthday a few years ago, he signed Durazo on my birthday and I think he dealt either Hudson or Mulder on my birthday in the past. This year it’s Matsui (and possibly a surprise signing of Beltre? Oh please, please, please!)

Nah

He got you a Harden instead! It’s slightly used…hopefully it’s still good though.

Happy birthday!
