No.

 

This guy isn't banned yet?

 

I know, what a jerk. The guy asked if he was correct, and he wasn't, so he was told that he was, in fact, incorrect.

 

Why stop at banning, let's kill him.

 

You seriously haven't noticed a trend with his posts? I've seen very few of his posts that weren't "this thread is worthless" or "no". I guess its easier to just be an ass.

Discussing a possible playoff roster for this awful team is high comedy.

Mikey Malcontent your full of sunshine sweetheart!

I've noticed. At least, it seems pretty obvious it's the same kid. I once pointed out how I never see him add any respectable discussion whatsoever to any conversation and he just went off telling me how he knows everything there is to know about baseball and shows it in all his posts. I said, again, I haven't seen it -- then he linked me to something like 3 posts in the last maybe 2 years in which he'd have one semi-reasonable baseball post followed by a dozen more of the asinine immaturity. Impressive, eh?

and yet people continue to react to him exactly the way he wants them to

It's the age old dilemna: scorn or pity?

 

Back on topic

 

Carlos Zambrano is singlehandedly sucking all the joy out of this season. The playoff roster is pretty much what it was on 8/31 minus perhaps one player. If the Cubs do outlast the Cards and Brewers there is a good chance that Steve Trachsel will be the game 3 starter in the opening round of the playoffs. That to me speaks volumes about the Cubs' chances.

Discussing a possible playoff roster for this awful team is high comedy.

 

In case you hadn't noticed, the Cubs are in first place going into the last month of the season, being trailed by one team that is at least just as flawed and another that is far more flawed.

 

When it comes to playoff chances, how good the Cubs are relative to the teams in their own division is the only thing that matters.

 

Whether you find it amusing or not, the odds are in favor of the Cubs making the postseason, thus necessitating a postseason roster, which it seems to me is worthy of at least some discussion.

 

I'm glad you are amused, though.

 

I'm also amused, because of course this discussion means we are about to tank.
