2010-11 Cubs Offseason: I, For One, Welcome Our New .196-Hitting Overlord

[Bort]

ITT: Yeti and Apex talk about Sean Marshall's statistics.

Worst thread ever?

Depends. Will anyone tie this to Pittsburgh or start talking about wireless headset deals? Is PenFoe involved at all?

I've ruined a few other threads, probably more so than this one.

The next Cubs manager is  Mike Quade

You'll need to speak up a bit, apparently.

HEY!  EVERYBODY!  THE NEXT CUBS MANAGER IS MIKE QUADE!

Who?

Absolutely.  Now that the Cubs have avoided Sandberg, they actually have a shot at winning next year!

Complete Moran's Guide to Desipio:

Rule 11: Green font equals sarcasm.

Rule 4,080: Canadian people are shady.

[J. Walter Weatherman]

Rule 11: Green font equals sarcasm.

Possibly adding to the confusion, the whole green font thing (while apparently a somewhat widespread internet tradition) was itself, if I'm not mistaken, only adopted sarcastically from another (and altogether different) internet message board website (to remain nameless), where it appeared to be used as a rhetorical crutch for the tragically unfortunate.

For our purposes here, it seems best suited for sarcastically highlighting instances of obvious sarcasm for the benefit of those dimmer Desipiots (read: "the Iowans") who may otherwise be given to asking such odd and fundamentally unanswerable questions as, "are you serious, Fork?"

Please use judiciously.

Thanks for the explanation guys. I guess my sarcasm detector is a little rusty.

Sandberg will probably never get a shot at managing unless he leaves the Cubs, like Don Mattingly and the Yankees.

The minute you hire a manager, the clock is ticking down the minutes until you fire that manager.

Jim Hendry didn't want to have to be The Man Who Fired Ryne Sandberg.

You mean like Tony LaRussa in St. Lou?  Or Bobby Cox in Atlanta?

Every rule has exceptions. Don't forget Joe Torre (not tchnically fired) in New York.
