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.

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.

    Very well played game all around tonight.

  • crunch (view)

    best starter and 2 top hitters from the team gone...and they keep on winning.

    little ahead of myself here, but the RSox got 9 outs to find 6+ runs.

    Richard Gallardo just left the Smokies game with an arm injury after going to the ground following a pitch. Doesn’t sound good at all.

    Phil, do you think Wiggins will start out in ACL?

    The level of conversation on this site is intelligent, reasoned and informative. Miles ahead of other Cub sites.

    This was Jaxon Wiggins previous "live" BP on 4/5: 

    JAXON WIGGINS: 
    ONE INNING (20 pitches - 10 strikes) 
    one batted ball in play (F-9 by Stevens)
    one walk (B. Davis) 
    one HBP (B. Davis)
    two strikeouts (Peralta & Escobar - both looking)
    three swing & miss 
    two fouls 
    four called strikes
    nine called balls

    Prior to the Cactus League game at Papago Park, three Cubs pitchers threw "live" BP on Field 1 at the Cubs Sloan Park complex, including RHRP Ethan Roberts (June 2022 TJS) and Cubs 2023 2nd round draft pick RHP Jaxon Wiggins (February 2023 TJS).  

    Wiggins last threw "live" BP three weeks ago before being shut down for a couple of weeks, and this was the first time Roberts has thrown to hitters in almost two years. 

    JAXON WIGGINS: 
    ONE INNING:
    25 pitches (11 strikes)
    no batted balls in play
    two walks (Suriel and J. Diaz) 
    three strikeouts (Carico, Lubo, and Escobar - all three swinging)
    six swing & miss
    two fouls 
    three called strikes 
    14 called balls 
    one WP 

    ETHAN ROBERTS: 
    ONE INNING 
    15 pitches (7 strikes) 
    two batted balls in play (G-3 by Carico and L-9 by Suriel) 
    two walks (Lubo and Carico)
    no strikeouts  
    no swing & miss 
    two fouls 
    three called strikes 
    eight called balls 
    one WP 

    Mat Peters was bumped by Justin Steele from his scheduled game work at Giants, so he threw two innings of "live" BP with Wiggins & Roberts. 

    MAT PETERS: 
    TWO INNINGS 
    44 pitches (23 strikes) 
    five batted balls in play (F-7, L-7, F-7, G-6, G-3) 
    three walks 
    two strikeouts (both Lubo and both looking)
    six swing & miss 
    three fouls 
    nine called strikes
    21 called balls 
    three WP

    wall stole a HR from busch...double.  nice to see him destroy a curve ball.

    upon further viewing, that might not have been a homer in too many parks...it had a lot of hang time, though.

  • CTSteve (view)

    I’m at the game—woot!

    If the streak breaks, it’s not my fault.

    Brewers lose Wade Miley to Tommy John surgery.
