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.

George Castle brings the balance to that site.

I hope they've got extra fainting couches on hand...

And, it's good that neither PK Wrigley nor the Tribune Company made poor player-personnel decisions based on finances or had a bitter parting of the ways with any very popular lifetime Cubs. It's also good that baseball never did anything to sully its reputation the same year as Nagano's Olympic Village trashing.

He also manages to work in a SCUM reference. An article that's supposed to be praising the Hawks shouldn't be ending with talk of SCUM parading around with the cup. What a dope.

Ban this, penishead.
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.

Yay. everyone is unbanned.

Problem solved. Until we say something else that gets us banned - not that I have anything else to say.

Not from BCB, I don't think. At least not when I checked about 20 minutes ago.

My guess is the guy who's already used two separate Simpsons related aliases here at Desipio.

Pretty nice of Al to un-ban all of us.  He's really proving to be open minded and...

...

oh, never mind.

Confusing. The message says you can browse the blog but not participate, but then he tells you not to come back again.

does Al know Leo Durocher tried trading Banks for Orlando Cepeda?

Quote from: Brownie on June 08, 2010, 02:08:34 PM
This just in: none of these players are of Bobby Hull's stature.

Ken Holtzman
Ferguson Jenkins
Ron Santo
Bill Madlock
Billy Williams
Rick Monday
Bill Buckner
Andre Dawson
Greg Maddux
Mark Grace
Kerry Wood
Mark DeRosa
Sammy Sosa

In my opinion at least two of these are bigger debacles than letting Hull walk. And is anyone else besides me half-wishing the Cubs had dealt Ernie Banks to the KC Royals in 1969 provided the Royals had something useful to offer in return?

Solid work with the public shaming of Yellon. I commend you all. Except Chuck. When Yellon and Chuck argue, I just start vomiting and the shadow of death seems nigh.
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

I'm not Al's biggest fan, but I give him credit for trying to make peace. If he would get rid of the thin skin and understand that when you engage in conversation there will be serious points of contention as a matter of course and take himself less seriously, he'd be much less deserving of scorn.
