One final update

Submitted by Transmission on

I can't believe it has gotten to the point where I feel compelled to say this, but...

 

April Fool's.

 

(just in case anyone hasn't yet figured out that the entire thing was a scam. Nice work, everyone...)

Damn, we're smooth. (But mostly Cubnut, Rob and Ruz. They did virtually all of the heavy lifting. I just got to play myself - an angry crank with an over-inflated sense of dis-enfranchisement and isolation.)

But how are we going to fund improvements to the site now??????

Boooooooo --- saying "this isn't a joke" in the set-up is seriously bad form. But, as an off-day actviity -- worth the effort. Strong performances by the entire ensemble cast.

Well that was fun. What better way to spend day two of the season, an off day, after losing the opener: Distraction.

Now is Chad going to live up to his word? Or was he in on it too?

THE perfect conclusion to this day would be to discover that BCB readers bought in to all of this, and were saying "Why the heck are they getting advertising and cell phones and stuff, and we're getting Trans?  What sort of trade is THAT?"

I hate that fucking board. You couldn't pay me to be a regular there. I knew it all was a joke, i thought I'd have some fun too. And I wanted to see if people would applaud my departure or mourn me. I got neither, really.

Not me. I was certain that Trans was playing it straight. He's just that arrogant and self-involved in real life. I can get away with saying that because he and I go all the way back to summer camp together. You think he's pompous now? You should have seen him at Camp Tawonga. He boycotted the canteen for a week because they started selling Pepsi. He's an asshat but I love him.

I am assuming Kerry's performance was all part of the scam? Maybe his calendar was off because of the leap year and the earlier daylight savings time.

You guys are brutal. You have ruined my day of listening to the radio of reports of aliens landing in New Jersey.

And Wrigley Field? Anyone see that POS movie the Comebacks? The crappy football cliche' coached by Lambeau Fields?

Laughing is fun. I feel like a haiku! Only T.C.R. Could make an April Fools joke Seem fake, real, then fake I am addicted To writing silly haikus Someone please help me

It was good joke, but how is all this un-professionalism going to look your new sponsor? I can't imagine Motorola is going to like it's new sponsorship to begin like this. And for the love of Jesus Presented by AT&T, can't you take down that logo now?

Submitted by Vegas Brian on Tue, 04/01/2008 - 04:55 pm

I just traded my Samsung for a new Motorola phone at lunch to support you guys..and I come back to see this? What do I do now?

Submitted by Cubster on Tue, 04/01/2008 - 04:59 pm

I can't imagine Motorola is going to like it's new sponsorship to begin like this. ============ Moto-rola is probably too busy splitting up into two parts, separating the cell phone bus. from everything else and running like hell from investor/troublemaker Carl Ichan. As long as they can keep their ads up on that green screen behind home plate at Wrigley...all will be OK. Oddly, I see a bizarro parallel between the above wrt Sam Zell and MLB. http://www.supermanhomepage.com/comics/who/who-intro.php?topic=bizarro

Submitted by Andrew on Tue, 04/01/2008 - 04:17 pm

Nice work all around. The whole thing was good but the whole Trans' tirade was a stroke of genius. It too me a little while to figure out that was part of the act. When both Rob and Ruz responded within ten minutes though, I knew. That and the bit about potato salad. But hey, I haven't had that much fun with the lame April Fool's Day in a long time. Kudos.

Submitted by Jace on Tue, 04/01/2008 - 04:22 pm

I started to suspect when I read crunch's post, but when Trans wrote "cripes", I knew it was a sham!! Noone writes "cripes" unless they are joking!

Submitted by Rob G. on Tue, 04/01/2008 - 04:45 pm

I'll reset the site tonight btw...to reveal our actual new sponsor, Sam Zell!!!!

Submitted by Jace on Tue, 04/01/2008 - 04:16 pm

No, no, Trans. You are NOT the only one whouses that word. I think we have talked about this before, but I think it one of the most underrated words in the english language for comic value. I have been teaching my kids to say it. There are few things as funny to me as hearing my 3-year-old son say "Aw, cripes!".

Submitted by gobuckeyes on Tue, 04/01/2008 - 04:28 pm

Fantastic job! I figured it was an AFD joke the whole day, up until I saw Trans' explosion. At that point I started to wonder if it was legit...

WAIT A MINUTE!! Does this mean you are NOT gonna optimize for mobile use??!! DAMN!

    matt shaw (AA) has a .381/.552/.905 line through 7 games...3 homers and a triple.  6 games at 3rd, 1 game DH (5 PO, 7 A, 0 E).

    that's somewhat fun news.

    i was blown away confused/pissed when it was announced the cubs were trading for y.almonte.

    i was thrilled when m.busch was announced as part of the trade.

    it's really weird to have the "you gotta take this payroll guy, too" (1.9m) part of the trade leak before the main piece.

    the cubs didn't get a deal given what they gave up, but i was very happy to have a guy like busch in the fold with so much club control.

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    Have to admit I was initially disappointed the Cubs traded away the upside of Jackson Ferris but Busch is making a believer out of me.  If I still lived in midwest guessing we would have invented some drink special named a Busch Bomb at the local drinking establishment to celebrate his homers.

    per Tribune: Suzuki MRI results pending from yesterday so we should get a timetable for return later today.

  • crunch (view)

    suzuki says he injured his oblique running to 1st, not swinging.  okay.  it's gonna be that kind of 2024 cubs year, huh?

    i would say that's good news compared to screwing it up swinging, but i'm not familiar with the recovery time of people screwing up their oblique by running.

    right side is at least different from his left side oblique injury last year.

    5 IN A ROW!

    hack wilson, ryne sandberg, sammy sosa, christopher morel, and michael busch.

    A bit more Jewish take on one of my favorite Cubs, Kenny Holtzman. His 9-0 season while serving in the National Guard and being available to pitch on weekends was one of my coolest teen recollections.

    Suzuki out with oblique strain. Canario indeed is called up. No word on Morel so that might be a red herring (or a red digit).

    AZ lineup is posted but Counsell is always late to post his lineup.

    You have to C it! (tm)

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    Best hitter: IL with oblique strain

    Second best hitter: hasn’t looked the same since jamming his right hand during a swing

    Third best hitter: playing through a sore hammy

    Best pitcher: IL after one start 

    Second best RP: IL after 1.5 weeks
