It is time to DeMote Ted Lilly and Jeromy Burnitz

Guys this has really been grinding my gears for the past couple of games, but I have come to the conclusion that Ted Lilly is nothing more than a bum who cannot pitch well. He just had to give up one hit today! That is inexcusable! Plus his recent horrific streak at hitting has placed him in the 9 hole of the batting order, promptly him to bicker about his current role by stating "I am batting 9th?" This type of insubordination should not be done, and I cannot sit by and let people say that this is fine behavior!

And that goes for you too Jeromy Burnitz, who decided to make a spectatular catch last night against the Brewers only to go through a horrific slump today. You just had to let that single go by you today huh? Well you get the demotion as well.

 

I cannot stand for such awful play, despite the fact that we are 5-2, nearly all the hitters have great BA, our walk totals are high, our starting pitching has been pretty much consistant, and Marmol continues to dominate.

You're the one...

who bitched and bitched about the Payroll FanShot. We’ve had satire. And parodies of satire. And satire of parodies. Enough already. We get it.

Exactly.

Enough. A couple days of this was enough. Further posts of this type will be deleted without notice.

I have never used the f word on this site.

Three question marks, no punctuation, and incomplete sentences; yeah, you really came off as an adult there.

This parody stuff really isn't clever.

Also, The demoting of Derrek Lee really isn’t that crazy of an idea. If anyone would take a look at some stats, they would realize he has no business hitting third in an order that includes Ramirez, Bradley, and Soto.

by aramis on Apr 13, 2009 7:46 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Bradley

He’s already been labeled a bum so he’s out. If A-Ram misses another game, the Cubs will probably need to put him on the 150 game DL. Soto is already out for the year so I guess Lee gets the 3 spot by default.

Oh forgot, Lee should be benched for Hoffpauir. Problem solved.

ENOUGH!

A couple of parody posts were funny. Then it got to be “oh, brother, not another one!”

Now, it’s ENOUGH, ALREADY. Further posts of this type will be deleted without notice.

Don't take it personally...

This might have been a little more well-received a few days ago; we’ve just had so many.

Sure. With his kids.

I've committed to tweeting about the Cubs for the rest of the reason. (Does that sound as ridiculous as I think it does?) Anyway, if you're on Twitter, you can follow me here.

So wait

Ted Lilly isn’t going to be the head bouncer at the new bar attached to Wrigley?

He’s got a family, you know!
