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??????

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

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.

i don't give a horse's patoot if it's april fool's or not. i just want my farking free phone.

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!

    Good deal

    MB needs some talent infusion!

    Childersb3: Very possible. Suriel, too.

    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)

  • crunch (view)

    bit of a hot take here, but i'm gonna say it.

    the 2024 marlins don't seem to be good at doing baseballs.
