Around SBN: Jerry Sandusky's Wife Tries To Run A Reporter Over

Need some more quick help

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

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.

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.

Agreed...

…and I would point out that he’s already been specifically asked not to display that signature line when posting on this site.

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.

Move on and Grow Up

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.

Now...

All your doing is trolling and after this I will quit feeding the troll. You came to us, as none of us came to you. Maybe you should look elsewhere for info for your “so called” paper.

Its getting late too, he’s probably in bed so he can catch the bus for school in the morning so he can edit his “newspaper”

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 don't know if that is possible...

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.

Peavy AND Roberts posts are needed, it has been too long, and I am getting the shakes
