Absolutely.

Dude, you still post here? I took a more or less six-month uninterrupted LOA, to finish the dissertation. I've been contributing, quite regularly, for the last several weeks.

Funniest article I've ever seen here. Of course, I don't come here as often as a lot of you. Nice job, though.

Are you sure you haven't been fired yet, Trans? I mean, sure you are still posting, but maybe they've fired you and they are waiting until Friday to fire you?

Submitted by Transmission on Mon, 05/15/2006 - 05:02 pm

Pretty sure. I've slept with so many people in pursuit of clawing my way onto the front page, they wouldn't dare fire me, now. So is the Friday Firing thing legit? They fire you on a Friday so that you have the weekend to cool down, and not do something rash like take a weapon into the office the next day? I can just imagine myself going on an ax-wielding rampage through TCR Central HQ, in LOCATION CENSORED BY ECHELON Ax as in lumberjack implement, not as in that stupid body-spray...

Submitted by Bleeding Blue on Mon, 05/15/2006 - 05:17 pm

I can say this, I've been fired once and it was on a Friday. I can also say one of my co-workers just got axed a week ago, and that also happened to be on a Friday.

Good thing if they do fire you, you long haired granola eating Badger!

Submitted by 433 on Mon, 05/15/2006 - 05:10 pm

So all you have to do is sleep with someone to get onto the front page? Who would that be? Or should I just try to make love to my keyboard? again

"So is the Friday Firing thing legit? They fire you on a Friday so that you have the weekend to cool down, and not do something rash like take a weapon into the office the next day?" I took a class this semester in Organizational Communications and that is exactly what they do.

Submitted by bacon on Mon, 05/15/2006 - 05:27 pm

this is the only thread i will read. instead of firing you on friday, they should just move your office to the storage room. And remove you from the payroll. It will take care of itself then. Slow and steady, no pain. What would you steal from work if they fired you?

Submitted by cubswinthepennant on Tue, 05/16/2006 - 05:22 am

Trans, some body!, we need a new discussion thread for today's game.

Submitted by aaronb on Tue, 05/16/2006 - 05:30 am

trans, Be wary if someone comes in and takes your stapler. another sure sign is if they move extra boxes into your office as storage. Or worse yet is if they move your office into the basement. That happened to my uncle Milton before he retired to the tropics.

Submitted by Transmission on Tue, 05/16/2006 - 05:14 am

I'm going to assume Rob G or Ruz is doing the preview.... What would I steal from the TCR Secret World HQ? Probably the inflatable Don Zimmer.

Submitted by Bill Lundburgh on Tue, 05/16/2006 - 05:46 am

yeah, transmission......I gonna need you to go ahead and ....... do this next preview......... and ......Im also going to need you to do it on saturday.........so if you could just come on in on saturday.......... and sunday to.......great.....

Submitted by Bob S on Tue, 05/16/2006 - 05:58 pm

It's about time someone had the balls to come out and post a "Fire Transmission" thread. Good job Trans.

Submitted by Kenosha_Stephen on Tue, 05/16/2006 - 05:57 pm

I say keep Trans....at least he adds some comedy on parachat ...wait, he's a Badger- sheesh! (Go Gophers)

Submitted by Transmission on Tue, 05/16/2006 - 05:57 pm

HAH! Ok, Ok, Fire Trans thread wins for comedy-per-post ratio, over the other three open threads.

    I have had the pleasure of watching some of the young A's pitchers lately (first Joe Boyle the last day of Minor League Spring Training in March, and more recently Luis Morales last week and Steven Echavarria yesterday at Extended Spring Training), and it reminds me of the Miami Marlins a couple of years ago. A really nice collection of young pitchers. It will be interesting to see what the A's will get for two years of ex-Cub Paul Blackburn at the Trade Deadline (there should be a robust market for Blackburn).

    Good deal

    MB needs some talent infusion!

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Childersb3: Very possible. Suriel, too. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    DJL: if a pitcher is recalled to be the 27th man for a doubleheader and then is optioned back to the minors the next day, the 15-day "clock" does NOT reset. The one day call-up for the doubleheader is treated like it never happened with respect to a pitcher having to spend at least 15 days on optional assignment before he can be recalled. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Probably the only reason David Peralta is still in the organization (he is at AAA Iowa) is to be available in case anything bad were to happen to Ian Happ (which it just did). So if Happ needs to go on the IL, the Cubs can select Peralta to play LF, DFA Wisdom (and hope he and what remains of his $2.725M salary gets claimed off waivers), and recall Mervis to platoon at DH with Cooper (with Canario / Tauchman sharing RF), at least until Suzuki and Happ are back...

    i'd just like to take a moment to express to the world i'm still pissed willson contreras is not a cub when the pricetag was 5/87m (17.5m/yr).

    it would be nice to have a legacy-type player to stick around, especially one with his leadership and the respect he gets from his peers.  cubs fans deserved more than 1 season of contreras + morel...that was gold.

  • crunch (view)

    happ, right hamstring tightness, day-to-day (hopefully 0 days).

    he will be reevaluated tomorrow.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    I guess I'm not looking for that type of AB 

    Just a difference of opinion

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    I don’t see Tauchman as a weak link in any position. He simply adds his value in a different way.

    I don’t know that we gain much by putting him in the outfield - Happ, Bellinger and Suzuki and Tauchman all field their positions well. If you’re looking for Taucnman’s kind of AB in a particular game I don’t see why it can’t come from DH.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Tauchman gets a pinch hit RBI single with a liner to RF. This is his spot. He's a solid 4th OF. But he isn't a DH. 

    He takes pitches. Useful. I still believe in having good hitters.

    You don't want your DH to be your weak link (other than your C maybe)
