I only have to do this once, right?

Hey all,
I'm new here (obviously) and get pretty embarassed with introductions, so here it goes.
I reside in Portland, Oregon. I grew up in Vermont. I am a life time Sox fan (woken up out of bed for '86 world series fiasco). Favorite player: hard to say; Papi, Manny, Tek, Nixon. I find myself really liking Renteria too, probably because so many people have been ripping on him. Wakefield and Timlin (whom I affectionately refer to as "dad" because he seems like the nice next door neighbor that everyone had growing up... who was invariably somebody's dad.) Anyway, glad to be posting here, and its nice to meet you. Whomever you are.

Looks like our west coast population is growing. I have a similar story to yours, grew up in NH, live in Washington State.

Oh boo. I wanted to make a special 4,000th post. Sheesh, that kinda crept up on me there. Well, I'm not THAT big of a loser, considering I have been here for 14 months, right?

Haha, not bigger of a loser then any of the rest of us!
