Don Wakamatsu already has hands full managing Milton Bradley

No. But we talk about a lot of things on this blog that aren’t necessary. I think that’s what makes it fun. There aren’t a lot of rules and people are free to discuss almost anything they want.

but unfortunately, many cubs fans are interested in the topic so I see no problem with it. Just look at the number of comments on this post compared to the other fan posts on the first page. It’s apparent that many cubs fans are interested in what Game Board does, either good or bad.

but to me his flipping the bird to the fans was over the top enough to qualify.

Personally, I don’t mind the posts about him. It’s when those posts bring out nasty arguments (about racism, etc.) between ourselves that I get turned off. That’s my signal to stay clear. I certainly don’t mind if other people want to read them though.

If/when I have time, I may still do some on off days or during the offseason.

if you truly figured Silva would have 0 quality starts, you were showing a lack of faith, knowledge, common baseball sense, or as I would think you were making a conclusion with blinders on since i know you are not an idiot. Too many decided that Silva was a waste before he had his Cubs hat on, and I for one will be happy if he is a servicable #5 which is far better than most say he can be

Willie Mays does and doesn’t want to read and act accordingly!

post about the day to day activities about someone who no longer with the team just for the sake of seeing them do something stupid is tiresome. I don’t get the fascination with it. Of course I realize I don’t have to read these posts and I don’t normally read them, but in order to voice my opinion about these types of posts I needed to voice it here. So there it is. There is no fanpost police and I don’t care if anybody takes into account what the hell I want to read. It’s your god-given right to post and read anything you want and it’s my right to voice an opinion about it. When you start these types of posts you open the door to anyone’s opinion about it and my opinion is that they are just silly.

I clearly establish that he has problems. I’m just not sure delighting in his issues is the best approach for anybody.

Goodie wanted to compare him to some guy driving down the highway acting like a jackass and then passing him later while he’s pulled over and getting a ticket. At least in that case you can believe that the consequence will remind the perpetrator to not commit the crime again. Our mockery isn’t going to fix MB. It is an entirely pointless exercise of distain for a guy who no longer threatens to ruin our team, or whatever it was everybody believed he was doing with his crappy attitude.

He could choose not to be a prick, but he takes the other approach.

I don’t get that vibe. And plenty of people agree.

He doesn’t “choose” to act this way, he just floods out of him. Its something he can’t control. Its something he needs help for.

Likewise, I don’t expect anything out of Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Kevin Federline, or Jon Gosselin.

And those people are fame whores, looking for attention. MB seems to want to play baseball and be left alone. He doesn’t do a good job of putting himself in that position, but people like you, acting like he’s some b-rate celebrity acting out to see his name in the gossip mags, don’t do much to bring any perspective to the situation.

I don’t have sympathy for the people you listed. I have sympathy for MB. And it legitimately does make me sad to see people group MB’s antics in with Paris Hilton’s, when its so blatantly clear the intentions, reasoning, and problems are so different.
