Lets disect the post: So basically trying to make himself seem genuine in order to get people to actually believe his post. Even if he is a troll, wouldn't he put a disclaimer up to protect himself because he knows we are all smart enough to not take everyone at their word? Yet he only produced one name that he used at ESPN, and he said he only "lurked there" and barely posted. Who is he? The janitor? The assistant to the traveling secertary? How does someone other then a high-ranking official know about a trade that hasn't even been completed? Did they send out a memo to all the employees that they were about to trade their marquee name to the team they are in the middle of playing? Doesn't his friend have anything better to do then find out transactions a mere hours before they are revealed and tell them to supposed Cubs fans? "Hey man, I know you are a Cubs fan and all, but I figured I'd let you know that THE joe randa is signing with the reds. I figured you should know a few hours before you read it as a blurb at the bottom of the daily transactions page. again, a low ranking official is giving 48 hour notice about a trade, and violates a confidentiality agreement I'm sure he signed before working, to tell his Cub fan friend so that he could post it all over the internet Sure, you knew you were going to get banned anyways. C'mon guys, I understand the excitement, but how can you take a guy at his word and make a 30+ page thread spewing over the possibility of Dunn. I understand what your saying satex, but isnt someone making his first post FAR MORE LIKELY to be feeding us hogwash then someone with 10,000 plus non-bannable posts? While what you dissected may disprove this poster's potential credibility, the fact is that he/she made a compelling statement that could still ring true (why would hendry or o'brien say anything backing this up beforehand?) this, along with the personnel moves the Reds made today somewhat makes it seem credible. We really won't know until the trade deadline. There are too many variables to consider to back up the "48 hour" timeframe originally reported. I guess I'm trying to keep an open mind concerning this thread. Until, it's officially shot out of the water for good.

We found evidence outside his posting history that confirmed our original suspicions that he was a troll. It seems pretty obvious to me in hindsight. How many mystery sources turn out to be true? And then his second update gave people exactly what they wanted to hear. I apologize if I seemed a bit critical of you, Tim and the mods, 1908. Like I said, NSBB is my main source of anything Cubs and y'all do a SUPERB job at making this site what it is (which is why I've been around so long!). It would be interesting to know the facts that made it be known that this person was a troll, using info from Vance's earlier posts stating a deal from his "source" in houston. No discrediting directed at you Vance! You're my new source to last minute tickets at MMP!!! :D

Is this factual? Cuz, it sounds to me the "rumored" deal was right on according to other sources since the original post.

I, myself am curious as to what got SE banned. If for anything but something blatent or derogatory, I will have to cry Bull! What makes a person with 10,000+ posts more credible than someone with 20? It's not like the majority of the 10k posts were informative to begin with considering most posts are racked up talking about who got a hit or who didnt in a game thread. Smells too much like Elitism to me and it stinks! I hate to say that, considering I've been on this site since it's inception and use it as a bible for info practiacally. I just don't see what was wrong with any of his/her posts (and I too, have been following page by page). But hey, just an observation, not trying to ruffle feathers :wink:

well... make it 3-0 Griffey with a shot

blah. no "JO DEEE" chants here

yay... barrett with a single! rally time!!

UGH! Solo shot by Dunn.. 2-0

BTW... who's getting sick of these stupid Geico commercials? ](*,)

I sure hope our offense gets a boost soon. A bit bland so far.

ok.. my eyes literally hurt after reading 28 pages of this.. will definately be interesting to see if all these little things going on today (kearns activated, etc.) lead to Dunn coming to Chicago tonight or tomorrow. Either way, I hold no ill feelings towards the author of this thread. It made for a most interesting read for me on a most boring day. :)

video of the "shout out" from Len.

I'm not, but for those who don't know.. the Hank White Fan Club is a feature on Desipio.com (one of the 2 famed Cubs websites Len has endorsed on TV.. the other being NSBB).

6/10 here.. :oops:

I nominate ALL the powder blue road uni's of the 70's and 80's. What were they thinkin?

You got 6 out of 10 questions right. Now lets see how Cubs fans stack up against Cardinals fans. Here's the current percentage of correct answers. .634 .366

i don't know what's worse, the coaches calling for that bunt, or Hairston doing it on his own. That could not have possibly been a called bunt. Dusty's not that dumb....is he? in my best Richard Dawson voice ... "SURVEY SAYS.... YES!"

man, we suck.

jeez... will this so called "team" ever learn how to play fundamental baseball?

Gary Bennett of the Nationals is from my hometown of Waukegan as was 2 yrs behind me in school. I'm actually surprised he made it to the bigs, cuz he wasn't that good then.

Yeah, but watch... Zuleta will throw some voodoo mojo on Macias and he'll be the MVP... ugh!

YOU STALKER! Those are the last 4 digits of my phone number. Are you gonna get my zip code and address next?!?!? I know where you live, I know where you work, and I know which messages board you frequent. :wink: NOOOOOOOOOO! 8-[ Gotta watch out for those guys in Austin!

Hi, I'm "satxcubfan" on the cubs.com message board. I also used to go by the name: "agrotech" wayyy back when the MB's weren't ran by MLB.
