OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

Al Yellon and George Castle?

This is a veritable sports publishing juggernaut.

Wonder if Herr Yellon has read enough SCH to know that from time to time they have to call out their readers and commenters to prevent their site from turning into BCB?

IIRC, he's read enough to tattle to SCH's superiors about a bit of bad-mouthing he once received at the hands of Fork and McClure.
Loor and I came acrossks like opatoets.

I'm surprised Al's article isn't about THIS.

That quickly, eh?
This is so bad, I'd root for the Orioles over this fucking team, but I can't. Because they're a fucking drug and you can't kick it and they'll never win anything and they'll always suck, but it'll always be sunny at Wrigley and there will be tits and ivy and an old scoreboard and fucking Chads.

QuoteSo please, don't dismiss someone's thoughts simply because you don't see them comment a lot.  You wanna do that?  Al Yellon will be happy to have you.

My innocuous comment about Chelios not being a Cub fan was also deleted. But I have not been banned.

EDIT: Yes I have.

Just remember the top five athletes in Chicago includes Ryan Dempster (a guy who barely cracks the top five most popular starting pitchers on the North Side), Mark Buerhle (a guy who hasn't retired a batter since facing Tampa Bay last July) and LeBron James (a guy who doesn't play for a Chicago team). Also included is a guy who played only 20 or so downs for the Bears last season, and probably the fourth or fifth best player on the Blackhawks (real hockey fans: amirite?)

Throw out that one day when Al had to drive Sylvia Perez home when her car broke down and he wasn't able to get to the computer, and the speed with which he eliminates even the most benign comments like an industrial combine reminds me of Micah Hoffpauir.
I think he's more of the appendix of Desipio.  Yeah, it's here and you're vaguely aware of it, but only if reminded.  The only time anyone notices it is when it ruptures (on Weebs in the video game thread).  Beyond that, though, it's basically useless and offers no redeeming value.

As have I, before making a single comment on BCB or SBN Chicago, ever.

I will vow, for the sake of peace, not to complain about David Ross between now and his first start next year- 10/26/2015

At least I got my parting shot in: Why was my comment deleted?

OOOH I was so out of line.

I've just actually read through Yellon's Hawks tripe.

Holy shit.

10 of the 16 paragraphs he wrote talk about the Cubs.

It's almost as if he has no understanding of hockey or the Hawks whatsoever except through analogy with the Cubs.

That was my take.  The entire article was couched in the context of a Cubs fan.  Real insightful, that was.

A great way to endear yourself to a larger audience, half or more of which hates the Cubs, is to talk about the Cubs. This Al is a real savvy son of a bitch.
