I’ve been avoiding this news for the last few days because whenever I hear the phrase “knee drained” it freaks me out. Not just because Gilbert fans have heard that way too much in the last year, but because it just sounds weird. Bathtubs get drained, sinks get drained, not knees. (By the way, if you want to see what a knee draining is like, several people have uploaded videos to YouTube. Just search “knee drained” and you’ll find what you’re looking for.)
The good news is, that if you believe Gilbert, hopefully this will become a thing of the past. Here’s what he had to say about his plans this summer:
I’m not going to try anything stupid this summer. I’m going to take my time and prepare for next season. I’m going to be smart about it this year. I’m going to have five or six months to get this thing strong again and ready to go again.

Very clever title.
I had NO IDEA that you were part of this site, Jake! I started reading Gilbertology before BF, is it just you? Did you start Gilbertology.net ?

One and the same. I started writing at BF and then the original writer here, Gilbertology (a good name to use if you’re the head man of the site of the same name), asked if I wanted to blog over here and since it’s a natural fit, I said yes. So we did that for a while, and then around the start of the year Gilbertology wanted to move on to some new things so now I’m carrying on the tradition. He still blogs from time to time here, and comments quite often, which is great, because he still finds lots of great stuff that I would never find otherwise.
Oh, and the site design was all him. I could never make a site design this awesome.
