Since 4/23, Sam Fuld is batting .091 with 1 RBI
Basically since the last time anyone mentioned him, in great lamentation about his departure, he's gone back to being Sam Fuld again.
Just wanted to bring this up since the people who bring this sort of thing up don't seem to notice when the players in question go back to being themselves again.

I don't even know what the hell you're trying to say...
there is supposed to be an overture of bitching about this? The only people on BCB who give a shit about Sam Fuld are Jessica and her Cat.

Sam Fuld's brief and unsustainable success yielded more posts in April than any other topic
Most of them were filled with people lamenting the Cubs “throwing him in” in the Garza trade.
not a single one was from me lamenting throwing him in the Garza trade
and since I supposedly wrote all of them that seems odd.

No I really resent it when people twist the facts
I was HAPPY when Fuld was traded because I knew he would have a chance to play. I never said anything about throwing in the Garza trade which I hate for other reasons. I never said he should or would be a starter but it is easier for people to claim that than to check the truth.
Since Guyer has been called up by the Rays I expect someone to start a thread on that and I don’t even want to think about Archer & Lee.
FYI how many posts have we had this week on not signing Berkman? Seems the same pricible does not apply.
Anyway of to the theater so I expect 500 posts when I get back

As to the O.P., I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The ONLY obsession regarding Fuld is people who are obsessed about Jessica’s supposed “obsession”. Let’s all keep looking for stuff that isn’t there, because isn’t that more fun than watching a baseball game or talking about the team?

One of those posts is Al pointing out that Jessica was mentioned in a Fuld article, and another is by Jessica herself. To assume that the motivation for the other four posts was because everyone around here is obsessed with which players Jessica likes is pretty bogus.

And yet you're the only one throwing around the word obsession.
The reason there was so much discussion was because he was a Cub who was a throw in and got off to a really hot start. It wasn’t because Jessica liked him.

With all due respect, SB
All I’m saying is that you seem to be doing what you take issue with: inserting Jessica into a discussion where she doesn’t need to be.

That’s three levels of obsession, and we all know that you need a very stable sedative to get three levels deep. Also, if you go deeper, then you’re in limbo and 50 years could pass in, like, 4 hours of real-time, so I’m gonna stop here for now.

I'm happy for him. But I figured he couldn't keep up that trend
The Cubs are hitting .217 runners in scoring position and that trend I could see staying steady
And you say that because it's plausible?
No, because it’s another of your passive-aggressive bullcrap statements implying that anyone who doesn’t agree with you is an idiot.

I have nothing to add
But my rec.
I didn't believe it last August, but it turns out that love survives.

Q: Why did Chuck Norris cross the road?
A: Ditka
Ditka's mustache can block a Chuck Norris round house
Ditka's mustache can kill two stones with one bird
Name names!
Don’t let this thread die without a fight!
GM's are in charge of Managers, not the other way around.
Name names.
As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.

Honestly
Honestly I think if they won the world series some people would find something to complain about.
Someone would start a fanpost on the order of speakers at the celebration or something like that.

Alright, I'll be the first one to say it.
Were the good ol days in 2003? When we won the division? Or 2007? When we won the division? Or 2008? When we won the division? Because those were DEFINITELY better than 2010, when we were 5th in the division and won 75 games.

I wish the Cubs were good so you'd stop acting like a JERK.

There's a big difference between mocking silly posts about a player that's not on this team (and played a minor, minor role at that)
and commenting with cognizant thoughts about baseball. This thread is clearly of the former.

Yeah but he ran into the outfield wall and stuff.

To clarify my point...
…I didn’t mean to imply that this fanpost was the problem. It’s more about how some people tend to high jack threads and turn them into a personal fights that end up completely deviating from the thread itself.
And naming names would defeat the purpose. This isn’t about calling specific people out (how hypocritcal would that be of me?).
It’s more a plea to 1) keep things reasonably on topic 2)resist the urge to get angry and personal and 3) avoid vendettas
This fanpost isn't the problem you're talking about?
The OP posted it as a means to call out other posters. Things seem to have gone predictably after that.

I enjoy a good vendetta.
And a vendetta is never fully realized without getting personal. That’s why I think that Dan should be banned for being Dan.
Whoa there, chief.
I’d like to see where I got personal.

I think you're joking, but the internet is hard to read jokes.

I think this should be made into a movie where Dan shaves his head, hangs out with a guy wearing a creepy mask and blows up a big building at the end
Call it “D for Vendetta”

I have a creepy mask.

Like a lucha mask
or just something to obfuscate your face while offering candy to little kids from your van?

Also, the great Chris Archer...
aka. the guy who could at least be Garza according to some…continues to get exposed at the AA level:
27.1/36 H/25 K/16 BB/2 HR/20 R/18 ER/5.93 ERA
Chirinos is currently putting up a .463 OPS in Durham.
So, so far...
… the Rays have gotten one good game from Brandon Guyer, and a couple good weeks out of Fuld, from the trade.
Meanwhile, Garza is looking better with each start.
