Pollyellon banned me

[Saul Goodman]

I try to not waste too much energy on the dumb opinions of Al, but it's really something else for him to instruct people on how to FEEL about something. It's just sports, guy. If you're not going to get irrationally excited sometimes, what the hell is the point?

Just don't expect me to get all hyperventilated until there is actual success at the MLB level.

I'll have fun when there's a reason to have fun.

I have a hard time reconciling these statements with the fact that they're coming from a guy who's been sitting in the fucking bleachers for nearly every home game the Cubs have played for the last what, 3 decades?

So why in the living blue fuck would you pay 4 grand or whatever the hell it is to sit 400 feet from home plate 81 days a year for, if you're not having fun?

He's doing it not for the best reasons, but for the right reasons.

Unlike some recent DL moves, Ruggiano appears to be actually injured (there, I said it).

You brave, brave man.

April 17, 2014 Al Yellon:

• The Cubs Should Call Up Javier Baez... Now
• "The excitement. That's what this franchise needs, in addition to a better offense and a few more wins."
  
• "Yes, we have been through the failures of Patterson... and Felix Pie, and others. Does that mean every single prospect must be viewed through that lens?"
• "This team needs a spark. Something to energize it."
• "Not ready? By whose definition? A rigid stance of "x many at-bats at each level"? Maybe it's time to break that rigid mold and try something different.

August 26, 2014 Al Yellon:

• More Thoughts On The Callup Of Jorge Soler
• "I'm still skeptical on Soler, mainly due to his lack of experience."
• "Yes, I'm excited. Just tempering that excitement with reality."
• "Yes, you can get excited. But don't go overboard!"

The only one that's about Al is when I said I wished he died.

The others are about bananas, which I stand by.

So, the telling everyone to stop reading Al is your "stopped clock" moment, whereas the banana statement is just you regressing to the Penis Wrong meme?

Maybe take this conversation elsewhere lest this thread grow another page and Pen really grows concerned.

Pen doesn't understand just hating on someone for fun.

Maybe we should just stop tying Pen down and forcing him to read every post.

Let's not be too hasty here.

Al's plagiarizing again.

Have a look at the comments in that thread - especially the blue (upvoted) ones.  There's unrest in BCBland, it seems, and there are some magnificent examples of Al being Al.  I cannot for the life of me understand why everybody in the damn World doesn't realise what a cunt he is.

When you're a twat, you look for any voice of authority that will validate your shit. Al is that voice for a lot of twats.

Some dude lit up Al in that thread and didn't get banned or responded to by Al.

Yet.

Maybe someday you'll start taking my suggestions seriously

... and posting a serious response. That's what this post was for, not dumb attempts at humor.

But I guess today isn't that day.

I'm at a loss for explaining why this santoswoodenlegs guy hasn't already been banned from that place for years.

Is he Al's brother in law or something? Does he have scandalous photos of Al and SanDiegoSmoothJazzMan in flagrante? All of the above?

Yet another example, from today.



But seriously, stop fucking posting about Al Yellon.
