once again for screwing up yet another inning

Nix helps in ways you may not realize ya know, like how you can impress all your friends by foreseeing the future! When Nix steps up, just mention to your friends that you have seen the future, and Nix will hit an infield ground out. Just one of the many ways Nix can improve your social life!

We should have a contest

for every game that Nix starts, we should guess what his pathetic average will be by the end of the game. He is at .127 (eww) right now….I am thinking… .122 by the end
