So Chad is the writer at TheCubReporter? And GaborBako is Andy Dolan?

 

Is that what I'm getting.

 

I wish we weren't so hated by all these blogs because I actually like the work TCR and Desipio do.

Chad is just a source for the writer at TCR, but yes, GaborBako is Dolan.

Everybody hates NSBB. We're pretty full of ourselves.

No its not that. We are just the biggest and most popular Cubs message board on the internet. Like all popular things, its cool to hate us.

Well played, sir.

I thought everyone hated Cubs.com and BleedCubbieBlue uber alles. I always like reading Desipio and TCR.

best looking too, at least in my case

Which one of us is Kurt Russell?

Your good looks are exceeded only by your extreme modesty.

Knock it off with the stupid pictures you bastards.

 

The bluntness of this statement awesomely hilarious

BCB is hated because Al Yellon is the President of the Blow Cubbie Sunshine Up Your Ass Society. The guy is such a rampant homer that it drives me nuts sometimes.

Paul Sullivan writes that the Cubs offer was never taken seriously by the Padres.

 

Link.

 

But the Cubs' original offer for Peavy wasn't good enough for San Diego to consider seriously, and a deal still appears unlikely.

 

Yeah, I know it's Sullivan, so take it for what it's worth.

 

The saga continues...

 

Paul Sullivan is a sensationalist hack...And a hobbit.

Rosenthal again reports the Yankees are in the mix.

He says the Angels will be in if they can't sign Tex. He says if the Cubs sign Dempster that could end our pursuit of Peavy. The Padres might just wait out the Braves free agency...

 

 

It doesn't look like this will be resolved anytime soon. Hendry, let's sign Adam Dunn while we are waiting.

 

 

The Angels will be in if they can't sign Tex OR CC.

Since last I checked, this thread has tunred into one of those game threads gone bad that Outshined Ones had to lock before all hell broke lose. Please people, make the Jake Peave: Avalable thread a happy place. A place where people can take their children and their children can take their children.

Yeah it is. There's about a half dozen posters on this board who are too full of themselves and give the forum a bad name.

You mean the "we know everything you know nothing, go to Cubs.com" crowd.

Eh - I consider myself an outsider here, and I think the only reason people hate is because they like to throw stones at the top.

A quick update on Jake Peavy. On Thursday, Tom Krasovic of the San Diego Union-Tribune said it was clear that neither the Braves nor Cubs would be acquiring Peavy. The Braves are moving on, looking at A.J. Burnett, despite Buster Olney's suggestion that both sides need this deal. Krasovic wondered if Kevin Towers might approach the Yankees and Angels.

 

Yesterday, Ken Rosenthal reports Brian Cashman and Towers have been discussing a Peavy deal since the GM meetings earlier this month. Towers apparently wanted to engage NL clubs - a "strong preference" for Peavy - before touching base again with the Yankees again but talks have now officially recommenced.

whatever, he isn't a big game pitcher anyway

What your language and don't attack other posters. You know better than that.

Angels are not interested until they resolve the Tex and CC free agency situations.

Kind of interesting how as soon as the Braves bowed out of the sweepstakes, the Cubs discussions instantly ended as well. Maybe there was some truth the conspiracy theory that Hendry was just trying to help out Towers by getting the Braves to drive up their offer.
