Yes, please answer this. I used to think you were kinda funny, Mike. But you parade around the board saying the most ridiculous bullshit and then bitch and moan about foe lists and paying to ban people when they call you out. Either start saying shit that makes sense or sack the fuck up and stop crying when people call you out.

Also, if you really paid to ban someone, you should just join a book club with other menstruating retirees.

If you do not see Cub versus Sox prospect bias I cannot help you. The fact that there is even a "Cubs Sign Eddy Julio Martinez" thread at all proves my point.

Bias from who? Cubs fans? Oh, the humanity! I can't believe a fanbase is biased toward its own team. Stop whining.

_________________

Martinez is a highly rated prospect. If the Sox signed him, I believe there would have been a thread about it. Much like when they signed Abreau.

Go Cubs!!!!

Abreu was high priced with a ransom and sought after on the national level. No one barely knew Eddy Julio Martinez before today.

"Settle down, Mike"

I don't get it. The Cubs 'prospects' are literally succeeding, as we type......

We aren't talking about them. I congratulated the Cubs last night. I am only talking about this particular one that no one ever knew about before today.

Once again I congratulated the Cubs on the board. As far as Pirates my friends are fans and I am not emotionally invested.

ahh yeah thats right, i forgot that the cubs are going out of their way to appeal less to the "salt of the earth" middleaged suburban bumpkins (who had a fannypack with those jorts in the 90s) and more to the #FastTrack yuppies from the mecca who are young, flashy, college educated, and having plenty of disposable $$$ to spend at "the place to be" when they make it an excursion at the shrine.

seriously you dont wanna cater to those people who know what the container rules are at the ballpark (in terms of bringing in food and drink) --- you want ppl with disposable $$$ who step into the shopping mall / food court and see it as a status symbol / badge of honor to have the $$$ to spend on ballpark stuff cuz you dont wanna be that middleaged sub-urbanite in jorts who brings in a plastic bag with like 6 frozen bottles of water along with a burger from a place by where you parked (au gratis) cuz that's just low rent! MAKE YOUR CUBBIE EXPERIENCE COUNT! DO IT THE RIGHT WAY LIKE WE DID/DO ON THE FIELD!

No more optimism and no more making threads to inform fellow Cubs fans of new prospects.

That's prolly true..but that is a HUGE wage cut if this guy is a top 10 Cubano.

New rules regarding international prospects keep teams from paying big money for Cuban players anymore.

Damn, mike. Just..

Hilarious how outraged you are that someone created a Cub thread about the Cubs signing someone. There's threads like this all the time in every teams section.

Don't worry, Hahn/Kenny will sign him if he's a bust after the Cubs let him go.

It's good to know the Cubs just added the best defensive centerfielder of all time to a team that already has two Babe Ruths and a Barry Larkin. I can see why you're excited.

No one? He was the top rated international prospect. There have been articles about him since the spring. Don't attribute your own ignorance to everyone else.

Cant wait.
