If you took away all the terrible arguments, bland postings, echo chamber commenters, bits stolen from others, tirades about appropriate and inappropriate comments, and record-keeping of the Cubs' record when he wears a particular hat or pair of underwear, Al's blog wouldn't exist.

If it didn't exist, it would not be bad.

Al says something stupid

Al gets pwn'd

Wow.

I like where he says "Prove me wrong" after citing spring stats.  That's all kinds of awesome.

You want shameless?  Al's got shameless!

Research?  Al's only research for this book was researching how to rip off someone else's idea and hard work and take the credit for it.  Fuck Al Yellon.  What a cunt.

Wow, that article is unbearable. I've already informed my family that if they are ever to buy me a book, then it mustn't be this one. I would hate to give that douchebag any money.

Not quite sure why you interviewed Yellon about this, or why his name is first on the cover - Kasey Ignarski had the idea and did all the work. You can read about it at the blog of which Yellon is "Editor-in-Chief", in fact :

Well done, Tonks.
I think he's more of the appendix of Desipio.  Yeah, it's here and you're vaguely aware of it, but only if reminded.  The only time anyone notices it is when it ruptures (on Weebs in the video game thread).  Beyond that, though, it's basically useless and offers no redeeming value.

Well done, Tonks.

Just doing what I can to burst Al's self-important little bubble.  Who's going to own up to being Boogah, by the way?  I'm guessing Wheezer, based on the fact that I had to go and look "suzerainty" up...

That's one coy semicolon, Al.

"Yellon, in addition to being a news director at ABC-7, is the founder and editor-in-chief of a popular fan Web site, BleedCubbieBlue.com."

I'm not sure "popular," in the more traditional sense, is the correct adjective for Al's bizarre little suzerainty, which is perhaps most notable for "banning" people who have never actually even attempted to post a message.

Suzerainty.

Wow.

If there's one thing I know about Al, he is a complete colon.

Our old friend Boogah. How do you even find the word suzerainty? I'd like to know where that word is introduced to a person.

Goddamn that's awesome.
