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.

Submitted by Ryno on Tue, 04/01/2008 - 04:08 pm

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.

Submitted by Mister Whipple on Tue, 04/01/2008 - 04:29 pm

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.

Submitted by billybucks on Tue, 04/01/2008 - 04:23 pm

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

Submitted by The Joe on Tue, 04/01/2008 - 04:51 pm

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...

Submitted by The E-Man on Tue, 04/01/2008 - 04:24 pm

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

    Things I've been wrong about:

    -Tauchman is fine as a 4th OF. I knew that. I just want a better LH DH option and he was really the DH for us until Seiya got hurt. I'm glad Mervis is getting a chance at it. Caissie is coming for that job for sure. But Tauchman continues to be highly useful as a 4th OF with Seiya being hurt

    -I wanted Yency to go to get guys at Iowa a chance. Guys like Palencia and Sanders or RileyT. Maybe even Hodge! But Yency has been better the last two plus weeks. He did hit 96 the other day. He was 93 in Texas to open the season.

    -Leiter has his split working enough. It just needs to stay there

    -I was surprised Jed picked Wisdom over Cooper. I wonder if this happens if Seiya wasn't hurt. Wisdom has more power. Cooper is the better hitter. Jed picked Wisdom and Wisdom had an option left as well.

    -Palencia just doesn't miss enough bats. Similar to ManRod, just two yrs younger. ManRod is killing AAA for TB right now!

    Things I got right so far:

    -Hendricks. Sorry Kyle. You got paid though!

    Jed, you missed there.

    -Smyly. If Jed could've traded him before or during ST, then he should have and saved some cash.

    -Mastro.  Not a LH DH. Pinch runner. Defensive utility. Maybe he's better than Madrigal but didn't get a legit chance to prove it.

    -Luke Little is good. He's had one bad outing. That's it. Needs to get better entering with guys on base. But he needs to stay in MLB.

    -Oh yeah....Morel is doing fine at 3B! He'll get better as well!!

    bellinger "right rib contusion"

  • Childersb3 (view)

    South Bend just lost the lead in the bottom of the 9th on the weirdest scenario, ever.

    It's absolutely pouring rain....men on 1st and 2nd, 1out....JPatterson asks for a new ball, but no time out was called....he throws the old ball toward the dugout (not sure if it rolled out of play).....the ump declares the runners get two bases each so one run scores. Then a single up the middle ties the game.

    The rain was coming down in buckets at this point.

    Just weird

  • crunch (view)

    ...and bellinger is gone in the 7th because of that 2nd blown chance and the wall he bounced off of...

    hopefully his rib cage/shoulder feels better tomorrow, we just got happ back.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Phil,

    Any thoughts on Y. Rojas' stuff and Y. Melendez's game (I believe I've asked about him before, sorry)?

  • crunch (view)

    wow, things are moving fast.  hopefully it continues.

  • crunch (view)

    morel with 4 clean plays in 4 innings...showed off his 100000000mph arm a couple times.

    cody bellinger not having a good 4th, though...5 run leads are handy when your CF is making your pitcher have a 5-out inning.  2nd blown chance was ruled a hit even though it went in/out of his glove...1st was lost in the lights, also ruled a hit.

  • crunch (view)

    welcome back happ!  double off the wall 1st PA back.

  • crunch (view)

    oh yeah, totally, i was just chiming about why i fan like i fan.

    i would like nothing more than hendricks to keep on hendricks'ing.  guys with his stuff can throw for a long, long time as long as it works.

    he velocity is actually up a minor amount this year.  it's really "damn" when a guy like him not only has gas in the tank, but it's looking like it was years ago.  he added a curve a few years ago and it helped a little bit, but he's throwing it less and less while the fb/change combo are less effective.

    CRUNCH—There is no one person in this community I’m talking about.  My remarks were not directed at you or anyone, but at a tone I’ve noticed lately. 

    You have a great, dry sense of humor and there is thought behind your comments.   You and I don’t always agree but I always understand your position.  

    Lastly, and I’ll be quiet, I agree with you on Hendricks.  We can dislike the recent performance but still love the guy.  Lots of questions about his future.
