ERIC HANNA
I joined BCB apparently in the post-ERIC HANNA era. So, up to this point, I have no idea who this legendary poster is. I have heard many, many, many references to his name. This has made me feel somewhat lost as to what you guys may be talking about.
Which leads me to this simple request. Tell me about him. Who was he? What was he like? Why was he so famous around here? Why deosn't he post anymore? Enlighten me with all that I need to know about him. Thanks.
This is a FanPost and does not necessarily reflect the views of SB Nation or Al Yellon, managing editor (unless it's a FanPost posted by Al). FanPost opinions are valued expressions of opinion by passionate and knowledgeable baseball fans.

fonzi soriano?
Cubs should trade fonzi soriano and kosuke for halliday. The cubsa should just give up on the outfield for this season and rely on the likes of reed johnson milton bradley and hoffpaur and possibly trade minor leaguers for another outfielder. Defense wins championships and the sorianos defense is suspect. The cubs would have zambrano lilly halliday and dempster. No one can compete with our pitching. Our infielders our good enough offensivly to get the job done. If we dont do this trade the phillies or cards are gonna trade for halliday. This is a once in a life time oppurtunity ot get a cy young candidate. PLEASE DO THIS CUBBIES!!!!

bradley scales hoffpaur and maybe we could trade some minor leaguers for another outifielder. We would just need good defensive players because we would have such a good pitching staff. our infielers would score runs and sotos pretty good

Are you high? Seriously. Put the bong down and step away from the keyboard before you hurt yourself by trying to eat it.
The Cubs have ZERO AAA prospects of note. Well, maybe 1/2 of one if you count Jake Fox, and the Marlins don’t need him. Any trade for Ramirez, Halliday, etc. would require something like Marshall, Vitters, Cashner, and Castro. As in ALL FOUR OF THEM.

Compared to the nut case posting long literary bits in German and whole acts of Shakespeare plays because Al would not delete his account.

The off season
For the win
"If I were playing third base and my mother were rounding third with the run that was going to beat us, I'd trip her. Oh, I'd pick her up and brush her off and say, 'Sorry, Mom,' but nobody beats me." ~ Leo Durocher
Oh man, I remember those.
We need to have another thread for picture puzzles like that.

Groundhog Day is even sooner.

We live in Woodstock where the movie with Bill Murray was filmed so we celebrate it pretty big time here. I can’t wait. Got my Groundhog decorations out and I’m ready to party. Oh and I have a delicious recipe for groundhog cookies direct from Punxsutawney if anyone wants it….no they aren’t made of groundhog…they are cut out cookies shaped like groundhogs. They taste sort of like gingerbread. They are best when placed on top of vanilla ice cream (to represent snow) with a drizzle of chocolate syrup (as a shadow).

Ha! You'll never see me "hawking" in McCovey Cove
I would sink to the bottom so fast, it wouldn’t be funny. Absolutely no buoyancy in this body. I’d have to stay on the walkway outside the RF wall and hope for really high long home runs with the wind blowing in.

Or buy a ticket and go in.

What I think...
I’m detecting a pattern (I do hope) of an individual with a well honed sense of humor who parodies types like ERIC HANNAH and others. From time to time he comes on to BCB, drops his bomb, if you will, then sits back and waits for the predictable reaction.
I could be wrong but what fun would that be? If so, all hail ERIC HANNAH in all his incarnations! Bring it ON.

Who cares if he's a Cubs fan? This is a football forum! He is a PACKER fan as well. So, from now until March, I’m sure he’ll dedicate a lot of his time here. In late March, then we can be enemies during the baseball season. Besides, the Cubs have perhaps the most loyal baseball fanbase in the country. You have to respect that.
