I read every hardcorecubfan post. I have no idea what any of them are saying, but I read them.

[Derwood]

a vote for abuck is a vote for childhood literacy

[snoodmonger]

i was tempted to vote hardcorecubfan just to read his incoherent victory speech, but i ended up sticking with abuck.

[killthegoat06]

I voted for hardcorecubfan because the last abuck post I read ripped on a fan that was being optimistic. Abuck made a very good point, but I didn't appreciate the disrespectful, blatant insult to another poster.

abuck can be mean, but that's his way, damnit.

This reminds me of when someone describes themselves as a person who "tells it like it is."

Wow, you guys have a way of turning a positive post into a steaming pile of crap in no time at all. There's no question that the Cubs farm system has been completely devoid of position talent in recent decades, but I personally like seeing this much young talent producing for the Cubs on the field---instead of all the hype and hope of Prior and Wood.

 

 

speaking of a pile of crap.

 

so all wood and prior were was hype and hope, huh? those two did more for this organization "on the field" than hill, theriot, pie, fontenot, marshall and guzman added together times 10.

 

two good weeks out of pie is "producing for the cubs on the field," yet wood's 165 innings in 1998, 170 innings in 2001, 200+ innings in 2002, 200+ dominant innings in 2003, his postseason performance in 2003, and 140 innings of 122 era+ in 2004 were all hype and hope?

 

and fontenot's 20 good ab's is "producing for the cubs on the field," but prior's 120 dominant innings at age 21, one of the greatest seasons ever by a cub pitcher in 2003, and two above average injury shortened seasons in 2004 and 2005 were all hype and hope?

 

what a stupid, stupid post. have a little perspective. it's crap like this that makes me hate a lot of my fellow cub fans.

 

Like I said, he made a good point. But it wasn't in the kindest of ways.

Yay Frank in Everybody Loves Raymond!

[Mizzou]

I voted for hardcore. He may be horrible at spelling, but at least he's not condescending when he spells every other word wrong.

[rocket]

abuck is awesome!

[Flames24Rulz]

abuck was a Rich Hill supporter through all of the rough times he had early in 06. I'll go with him.

It's usually the person complaining about "the negativity" that draws first blood in the insult category, as was the case here.

This post made me want to vote for abuck even more.

 

But I'm going up against abuck in fantasy baseball this week (SCOTT OLSEN!!!!) so I'm still undecided.

[MPC]

abuck is acool.

[sunnydoo]

A vote for Abuck is a vote for the Loogy System- if it existed. :wink:

[TruffleShuffle]

i loved the minor league threads last year on rich hill days... and abuck's sarcastic, bitter posts after every 7 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 13 K performance. By the end everyone was ripping on the cubs for having rusch up and hill down in a lost season.

 

He was Rich Hill's biggest supporter, which makes this an easy choice for me.

[NCCubFan]

I'll vote for abuck if he promises to throw our next fantasy matchup to me. :D

[SouthSideRyan]

I always confuse abuck and frost, but I hated both of them when I started posting here, and now agree with 90% of what they say.

 

They can be very persuasive.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

but what do you know about the law abuck? I voted for the one not on my ignore list

[E.J.]

I voted for the one not on my ignore list

 

Haha. Me too.
