i was not suggesting that. i was suggesting that I hope all of you voted for Kinsler instead of others, because he had a legit shot at keeping the elf out of this game. no way Joe would’ve picked him, right? not with Zobrist and Hill more deserving.

fuck, next year I’ll just let you all know how to vote
