Pollyellon banned me

Al sure can read people.

I spent a few minutes speaking to Maddon. The man is just amazingly impressive. He doesn't measure his words, but he knows exactly what he wants to say about any particular situation, and seems to understand why he's being asked specific questions.

What?

But why are you punishing yourself by going over there and reading that?

I've been asking that question to members of this community for over 10 years now. Wow, 10 years. It sounds crazy when you say it like that. The answer is apparently that they enjoy making fun of Al. To each his own, I guess.

Nailed it.

Or, I just need my daily 45-picture photo gallery of the Wrigley renovations which capture the magic of new scaffolding and new tarps replacing the ones that blew down in the wind. That's the stuff.

At this point it's only really fun when Al does something stupid like write an open letter to Theo detailing all of the ways his rebuilding plan sucks, so that we have concrete proof for all eternity that the man is dumber than a stump. As far as making fun of his actual sentence structure and just plain bad writing on a daily basis, that sounds exhausting, but I suppose someone has to do it in order to alert us to things like the aforementioned open letter.

It used to be a lot more fun when he'd get called out by his readers for being a dumbass, but at this point he's banned out all but his sycophants.

Pretty sure I've seen that guy on Twitter and this is a pretty excellent parody

He put it up as an actual FanPost on BCB, which has been deleted (of course). I admire the commitment:

Someone should really ask Al what he found so threatening about a post about bologna sandwiches to see what excuse he'd give that didn't require him to explain why the rest of the Cubs blogosphere uses "bologna sandwiches" as shorthand for Al being a rube.

I would love it so much to read Al's explanation as to why this offends him. Seems like Al has more awareness than zero, which is too bad.

Deleting this was the wrong strategy, though; it only draws more attention to it, especially considering that Yellon isn't a favorite of many bloggers in the first place thanks to his fandom-on-his-sleeve, often old-school approach.

Out-of-town stupid, but yeah. That's not why.

I'm pretty sure we've all agreed Al is not allowed to enjoy this team due to his past crimes. I'm glad people are still reminding him of that. It's too bad someone didn't send this writer enough of Andy's old Desipio posts to understand the Pollyellon phenomenon.

I urge you to go and post a glowing review of that nice Mr. Yellon's (who is incredibly smart and knowledgeable) super book on Amazon.

Is there any way in Hell the author of this comment is anyone other than Al:

Outstanding! Mr. Yellon is incredibly smart and knowledgeable. You will find few people with a better sense of Cubs history than Al. Highly recommended.

Dude couldn't even think of a fake name, it's just listed under "Amazon Customer!"

I'd bet that's Vlahos.
