Gullible

Gullible–adjective

easily deceived or cheated.

For those of you unfortunate enough to have known Herr Yellon a few years back you might recall Al’s unwavering support of the Tribune company line in all matters Cub. This was especially true when it came to Mark Prior and the never ending string of lies that MacPhail and his cronies were intent on feeding the average fan.  The favorite modes of deception were the team mouthpiece Tribune newspaper  and through quasi-corporate schills like Mr. Yellon. Al has long crowed about his “inside sources” and seems to genuinely believe that somebody at Trib Co gives a fuck about him and his blog. He has never questioned the information provided to him and therefore has long been a sounding board for the company line the Tribune wanted to broadcast to the masses. Back in the spring of 06 the company line they desperatley wanted to sell was that Mark Prior was behind on his pitching schedule again but not because of any arm injury. Rather it was because he had suffered from the flu in January and had never really recovered. Keep in mind this was going down in March and 99% of us have had the flu. It doesn’t take 2 months to get over the flu yet the team really thought that instead of acknowledging what was being widely reported which was that Prior had problems in his shoulder they would issue this laughable excuse and attack Will Carroll and wish it all away.  Eager to show his corporate masters that he was a loyal solider Al decided to attack Will Carroll’s(accurate) report in this post my favorite line was this

“So what? There is absolutely no evidence that he has any physical problems; doing the towel drill, which is a feature of Larry Rothschild’s regime, means absolutely nothing.”

A flu free Mark Prior went right out and had such a horrible spring he didn’t even make the major league team, was throwing his fastball in the mid 80’s and as we all know the inside of his shoulder looked like this

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fast forward to 2009 and the Cubs have another mega talented yet injury& flu prone starter in Rich Harden. This time the Cubs have been more open in admitting that Harden has a tear of some sort in his shoulder yet last week when Harden missed a scheduled start due to *you guessed it* illness the team admitted he might not be ready for opening day. And I thought groundhog day was over already.  Predictably this is the headline post at BCB  . Look familiar? It seems that Al is either unwilling to unable to look at this team critically and more than eager to accept whatever pablum Crane Kenney and Co throw at him. What could be his reward for failing to examine the team he blogs about for the sake of the thousands of readers of BCB? A Mike Fontenot interview or a sit down with Kenney himself. That’s the price Al set for his journalistic integrity and it speaks volumes about the man.

Now I’m off to make up some blue Kool-Aid and sent Harden a packet of Thera-Flu to heal that tear in his pitching shoulder. You Gotta Believe!

sorry for the delay

in posting but I just got word that the Al haters in my family will be doubling in about 9 months.

I must secure a new Al Yellon free future for my child. I shall re-double my efforts to Fire Al Yellon!

Blog Wars

Editor in Chief in Commander’s note- Cubbiejulie is not responsible. Someone at her blog is. The longer the person resonsible for this travesty hides in the shadows the worse this will be for everyone. I am so totally serious here guys, this is priority alpha.

 

It has come to my attention that some editor on a power trip over at League of Her Own has de-linked this illustrious blog out of loyalty to Yellon. Let me just say that all collaborators should be exposed and eShot. If I find out who is responsible for this atrocity I will reveal the traitor for the entire readership of FAY to see. The very thought of 3-6 moderately angry people should strike terror into the heart of whomever is responsible for this heinous tragedy. Until this coward comes forward or is caught I am upgrading FAYs alertness status to “Blackwatch Plaid” and will invoke a link embargo on LOHO if this matter is not resolved  soon.

 

You have 1 day.

Don’t Fuck With Al Yellon!

or you might get snotty comments like this

I never said your argument was unreasonable, nor did I say you aren’t entitled to your opinion.

You did say “stupid fans like you”. That’s inappropriate. You seem to deliberately want to provoke me and others. Knock it off.

Beating a Dead Horse

Yellon is on the Bradley warpath yet again  doing his best to stir up controversy with inflammatory headlines and tired innuendo. I really wish Al would just come out and admit that he hates blacks and will never cheer for a negro with any hint of a personality or attitude. Instead we get shite like this…

I’m really not sure what to make of this, and I want to try to be fair to Milton Bradley.-  No, you really don’t Al. You haven’t wanted or been fair to Bradley since the Cubs were first rumored to interested in him. You have gone well out of your way to bash the guy and stir up the lemmings that you control. 

In yesterday’s Ft. Worth Star-Telegram, writer Gil Lebreton said that Bradley, essentially, was jaking it at times last year:

 “My agent was saying that Jon Daniels was telling him, ‘There are days when he doesn’t want to play because of his health,’ ” Bradley said.

“Well, you can get a healthy guy to go out there and play 162 games, but he won’t do what I did in 120.”

As crudely self-serving as that sounds, Bradley is mostly right. His numbers last season were All-Star quality.

But that shouldn’t excuse the fact that Bradley was prone to sporadically calling in sick, including missing 10 of 11 games in early August as the Rangers lapsed from wild-card contenders to pretenders.

Plus, at the same time when Bradley was randomly removing himself from lineups, Michael Young was playing nearly every day despite having broken fingers on both hands.

Young never complained about Milton. That’s not Michael’s style. But his teammates certainly noticed.

When asked about that Sunday, Bradley gave an unsettling answer.

“If I’m being paid, and I’ve got the commitment to me that I give to them, you make more of an effort to be out there every day,” he said. 

So, in other words, you don’t play hard or play hurt unless there’s a financial commitment to you? In today’s Sun-Times, Greg Couch quotes the Star-Telegram article, compares Bradley to Luol Deng, and gets a little more elaboration from Milton:-  

Why do fans have this obsession with players wanting to play when they are injured. Who treats investments like this? Do you run your car well past its oil change date? Do you demand that your milk not expire because you want a milk that is scrappy and refused to quit? If not then why the fuck would you want a player that the Cubs have invested 30 million dollars into to run the risk of aggravating a small injury and missing precious playing time? If Milton Bradley needs a day off give it to him. If he feels sick or is hungover after winning the game the night before then give Gathright or Scrapmaster Johnson a start. TH ATS WHY YOU HAVE BACKUPS.  You would think that fans would want teams to protect their major investments at all costs but no, the Al Yellon style of Cub fan wants every player to play 162 games no matter what. 

“If you’re in a situation like I am now,” Bradley said, talking about his three-year deal with the Cubs, “if they want me to go out there when I’m feeling a little banged up, I’ve got no problem doing that because they’ve made the commitment to me.” 

Well. I really, really do want to like Milton Bradley – No you don’t.

and want him to contribute positively to the Cubs, both in the clubhouse and on the field. I don’t give a shit if Bradley pisses everybody off in the clubhouse and takes a shit in Lou’s locker if the team is winning that’s all we should care about. There is no doubt that when he is healthy and has his head screwed on straight, he is a major talent who can carry a team. Basically Al feels that if the Cubs could just tap into the raw talent of the Negro and get past their me first personalities and head problems the team will be alright.

Plagiarism

Plagiarism Def- 

1. to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one’s own

2. to use (another’s production) without crediting the source

Today over at Bleed Cubbie Blue Al took a break from his riveting “Guess this Cub players pubic mane”  series to write a post of original thought. Yellon has figured out how to fix the World Baseball Classic and wants you all to read about his “idea”. The only problem is that Dave Cameron from USS Mariner and Fangraphs came up with this idea and published it a week ago.  Since Al knows that 99.0% of his readership is either legally retarded or in 7th grade he knew he didn’t have to leave a link or even pass a hat tip to Cameron because nobody at BCB has ever heard of awesome sites like Fangraphs. Yellon had to feel real comfortable that he could rip off Cameron’s work and get away with it. Let’s take a look at some of the similarities shall we?  Al’s “work” will be in bold, Cameron’s will be italicized.

Here’s my idea. We have already seen that March, during spring training, isn’t a very good time. 

Ok, fair enough, Al isn’t the first to criticize Selig and Co. for having a tourney full of high impact games when players are usually golfing and stretching. Still, here is what Cameron had to say last week.

I know there’s no perfect time to have this tournament, but the middle of spring training simply doesn’t appear feasible.

So now that Al has established he hates the current WBC let’s get to the meat of his “idea”.

So once every three years, we’re going to replace the outmoded All-Star Game, which, even with Bud Selig’s silly “This Time It Counts” gimmick, has outlived its original purpose. Instead, we’ll turn that mid-July week into WBC Week 

As soon as I read this I knew Al had stolen all he wrote from this

So, here’s my suggestion. Cancel the All-Star Game, turn the three day break into a seven day break, and have a single elimination tournament that lasts a week. 

Wow, Al really has no shame. He stole another person’s idea, altered little to none of it and then had the gall to post it on his YAHOO SPORTS certified blog as his own. It looks like we can add some more qualities to Al’s present list of traits, racist,jackass, pervert, coward and now thief. I guess that’s why Al got the SB nation blog. From the bottom of FAY’s heart we would like to extend Mr. Yellon and Bleed Cubbie Blue the sincerest of Fuck You’s.

WTF man? Not being content to hate darkies Al now has expanded his racist tentacles into the Latino community.  It has long been rumored that Yellon would mutter “lazy bean eater” under his breath while Aramis Ramirez rounded the bases after another game winning HR or that Al is very fond of jerking off to this picture

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

but until today we have never seen such a direct public  smear on the Hispanic people. It seems that 5 Latino’s are too much for Al to accept on his beloved Cubs team. That we should find out that Al’s bigotry extends into a new racial category is no surprise. Yet, let me take this minute to highlight just how stupid and shortsighted this policy is. Al is a notorious houndog for companionship  yet his racial hatreds coupled with his personality and severe baldness dramatically limit his potential hook up’s.  Al has boxed himself into only going after women just like him, fat, hairy in the wrong places and overall monster-ish.  Based on CCD’s description FAY’s visual engineers have provided a good estimate of the typical lady Al pursues which I will show further down in this post. By eliminating Latina women from his potential mate list Al is losing the chance to charm or in his case drug/molest our beautiful ladies from south of the border.  I on the other hand, refuse to discriminate because good vagina is good vagina, that’s why I go home with Latina’s like this

 

 

 

 

And Al gets bad touched by creatures like the one CCD described

The Crispy Skank Lives!

Ladies and Gentlemen I have shocking new evidence from Arizona that the infamous “leather-skinned skank” does in fact exist. F.A.Y was able to obtain photographic images of the tanned twattage. I would like to thank our field agents bravery in securing these pictures, sadly many Bothans died to bring us this information. So without further delay I present in all her sun baked glory…

Wanda is on the left. Yah, she looks like she is schemin’ for the semen alright.

Over at F.A.Y’s abusive step-uncle site Maddog is running a caption this picture contest and the winner gets a Milton Bradley jersey. Be sure to vote on your favorite captions.

Al Likes Em Crispy

I have to interrupt our Al as GM series to highlight this hilarious exchange over at BCB yesterday. (Hat tip to Bishop Don over at ACB)

 

 It all started over in this thread  where  some dumb lemming started another stupid fucking diary about blah blah blah…. Anyways some guy with the tagline of “Gibbon Jockey” gave some advice. Now I hope that the name “Gibbon Jockey” is meant to signify that this man races monkey’s for a living because that would be awesome but I highly doubt anyone at BCB could be that clever. I’m getting off track so without further delay here is the offending statement.

 

A) I would highly recommend purchasing tickets beforehand.

B) Left field lawn beneath the scoreboard are the best ‘seats’ in the place. Everyone else knows this as well, so plan on getting there before they open up the gates from batting practice. Bring a blanket and sprint for your spot. Don’t sit too close to the fence otherwise you’ll have people walking in front of you all day and have to watch through chainlink. 15 feet up on the ’burm is about perfect.

C) Keep your brother away from the leather-skinned skanks who own the backrow closest to the scoreboard.

D) I’m just kidding about that. But they’re as much a fixture at Ho Ho Kam as woo-woo….

E) Have fun….

Overall a fairly bland comment but it unleash a torrent of ANGER inside of one Mr. A. Yellon.

 

Actually, that “leather-skinned skank” is named Wanda….

… she happens to be a friend of mine, and her husband Roger is one of the beer vendors.

I sit with that group. So, maybe you should be a little more careful before you judge people. Just sayin’.

Nodoby pushes Wanda into a corner! After reading this you would think that Al is the kind of guy who stands up to bullies but we know all to well by this point that he is much more prone to A- Run Away B – Run away and make some snarky comment about it on his blog C- Piss himself than to ever confront somebody in real life.  We also learned that this skank’s husband is named Roger, not really sure why Al felt he needed to include that.  Al even dusted off one of his famous catchphrases with the use of  “Just Sayin” . It gets even better in a second though.

 

im confused as to how u know hes talking about this specific woman?

This is a really good point. It’s Arizona for christ’s sake I would imagine there are a ton of leather skinned skanky women hanging around the Cubs hoping to give a ballplayer a handjob in exchange for a signed napkin after practice. How could Al possibly know this was the exact skank the original poster was referring to? Fear not, because gentlemen Yellon clears this up right away.

Because there can be only one individual who meets that description.

(Dying Laughing) So basically this woman is so leathery, so fucking crispy and so skanky at the same time that she is a motherhumping legend over in the desert. This bitch must put the Ho in Ho-Ho-Kam. As PMayo said she must be the highlander of leather skanks “THERE CAN ONLY BE 1!!!!”  So now we know that Al likes tanned leathery skin, making dinner dates with anaoymous men who read his blog and visits to the men’s restroom. Call me crazy but if Al comes out as a ghey I would be less surprised than if he showed up to the ballpark wearing something like this
