Hello, fine readers of Viva El Birdos. My name is John, as anyone who bothered to read the byline on this post knows—I’m sure this was many, but not all, of you. After all, Viva El Birdos is its own brand—anything that goes on this website isn’t a (fill in name of author) post as much as it’s a Viva El Birdos post. It is at once humbling, relieving, and terrifying to consider. So I usually don’t.
Today marks the two-year anniversary of my first post on Viva El Birdos—it was a post about how weird I thought it was that Peter Bourjos was not tendered a contract yet the Cardinals were able to receive some value via trade for Tony Cruz.
