Need some more quick help

Tiny by JoeCoolMan24 on Comment 177 comments

What is the legacy for Jason Marquis. I am doing a 1 sentence legacy that Cubs fans will remember about Marquis. Nothing like "He sucks" or anything like that, but a legit sentence evaluating his time on the Northside.

 

I need one of these for Marquis, Jim Edmonds, and Felix Pie. I already did Kerry Wood, Ronny Cedeno, and Mark DeRosa. Here they are in case anyone thinks I should critique them....

 

Wood - "The next big thing until he was ridden with injury after injury"

Cedeno - "Never respected by fans, and fans glad to see him leave"

DeRosa - "Fan favorite that could play almost any position asked of him"

 

-- Thanks

Is this homework?

If you had to choose just one characteristic that would get you through life, choose a sense of humor.

Needed help know who Cubs fans would rank as the biggest incomers and outgoers

Why is everyone so hostile towards me? I am asking for simple help here from Cubs fans. Not sure about you, but I would rather read something that is accurate to my team than something that a Sox fan would percieve. I have no clue how Cubs fans felt towards him, or if him moving effects the team. Cedeno’s answer was more obvious, but I can honestly say I dont know much about Marquis or how he was recieved at Wrigley.

try replying to the points I raised in my above comment and I'll be glad to show you some respect and hospitality.

otherwise, your approach (expecting us to help you without exerting much, if any, effort from yourself and providing very little in the way of background or explanation) mirrors that of a spoiled child accustomed to getting their way.

Prove me wrong – explain more about how much research you’ve already done on this, and/or why you are unable to obtain this information on your own.

And if someone asked you to help him lift something, would you argue “WHY SHOULD I HELP YOU!” ?? If so, you are a terrible person. I help people when they ask for it, especially something that would be easy for me to help with.

I have to agree

You could easily read a couple fanposts and come to your own conclusion. If you truly want to be a journalist, you will have to learn that proper research, while extremely tedious, is critical to strategic writing. Also, after reading your article about the Blackhawks, I suggest you purchase an AP Stylebook and When Words Collide, or some other type of grammatical guide. These books will help you develop more strategic and effective writing.

here i was just

making the point that we have talked and that in that arguement you got a little hostle saying that beliebve ARAM was better then crede makes me like all other Cubs fans. Proceeded to say that all of us know nothing of the game and are obsessed with people just becuase they were the uniform. And i recall in that same convo you susing the word Scrubs alot.

are you saying

that in 06-07 it was ok that you slammed the cubs, but you are in the clear cause you dont any more, I was saying that i have been in arguements with you that show that you bash the cubs and dont know enough about baseball or its players to hold a legitimate conversation about it. Do your self a favor, if you get into a conversation about another team make sure you know what you are talkin about, cause most likely those fans will know more about their team then ull ever know.

Just looked it up

The last thing I posted about the Cubs was April 4th, 2008 and I said that Geovany Soto is an up and coming prospect to look out for in ’08.

Ok, I went back as far as July 2007, and I found nothing of me slamming the Cubs. So yeah…..

I don't care if this knucklehead is from Mars, it's a stupid sig line. He knows that it incites comments

from everyone and he gets off on it. The race off any president of any country has no bearing on anything that happens on this blog. I would hope that we would not encourage this bozo by not commenting on his posts.

Exactly. Continuing to display that line shows no respect for Al and the

rest of the contributors of this blog. It’s just not the place for it. I don’t recall a line saying “My Secretary of State is black” when Colin Powell was in that position. That line would have been as silly as the current one. Enough already.

your signature line is idiotic. As a white man your a disgrace as there is no place for that mess anymore. remove your sig line or I think you should be banned period.

Ok, but on one condition

If this thread gets deleted, then you’re on the hook to come up with one that provides comparable entertainment value. Some of his reasoning has been priceless. This is good stuff… ;-)

I agree - classic thread.

Now that I’ve had my cost-free Friday morning’s entertainment, I don’t mind if this Fanpost is tossed in the trash. Then again, I wouldn’t want to deny anyone else the same pleasure. Maybe leave it up until lunch time. Either that or we could all write Peavy posts right now and knock it off the Fanpost list.
