Richie. Richie Richie Richie.
I wish I was better at this than I am sometimes, but here's the truth: to the people who matter, you will NEVER be a failure. Anyone who ever thinks you are is not worth your worrying about. Hard to think that way, I know, but it's the cold truth when you get down to it. Everybody's got shoes to fill now and again, and I think you'll fit em just fine. If you're looking for votes of confidence, let mine count as three, okay? You're alright, kid. ;)

*smiles* Thanks, Hatty. That means a lot, especially coming from you. Really.

You're better than Redman, you're going to be better than any of them. Don't doubt yourself, and don't doubt that you're one of the reasons Beane could make the trades. You'll do fine, and I mean that. Better than fine. You'll fulfill all their expectations, Richie. Just...just relax. Let it happen. You'll be good.

*sighs* Thanks. I just...I worry about this a lot. Worried about it all fucking season. Just...worried that I'm not good enough.

I don't know how I feel about one of the reasons Billy could make the trades. Kind of mixed. If they weren't my friends, I'd feel ecstatic. But because they are, I feel pretty shitty. It's a weird feeling, being almost kinda happy and completely miserable.

Come hold me. I feel like crap.

I don't stop believing in you.

Don't confuse being the reason for the trade with a plus for it. I would doubt he made the moves because of you. He made the moves because of finances, because of his philosophy. Knowing he had you probably just made it a little...easier.
