June 26, 201015 yr In it's article on the Zambrano suspension, the following statement is made..... Normally, you could excuse an outburst like that, given the pressures facing any player vying for the prestigious, legacy-building BP Cup. They are making this thing out to be bigger than the Stanley Cup.....and for most Chicago sports fans, I think they could care less about the trophy. If they were being sarcastic, so be.....but read the article and judge for yourself. The statement doesn't appear to be made in a sarcastic nature. (it's beginning sentence of the 8th paragraph).... http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/colu...tory?id=5329769

June 26, 201015 yr QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Jun 26, 2010 -> 12:41 PM) LOL at anyone taking that line seriously. +1 Some people are just too quick to turn anything attached to ESPN into the satan worshiper's hour.
June 26, 201015 yr I'm pretty sure I remember Jon Greenburg ripping the BP Cup when it was announced so it definitely sarcasm.
June 26, 201015 yr That line smacks of sarcasm. I can't believe anyone on Earth could think otherwise.
June 26, 201015 yr Yes. And f*** Chicago for not dumping the BP sponsorship.. but I guess it fits right in to accept dirty money in these parts.
June 26, 201015 yr Jon Greenburg is an incredibly sarcastic writer (I actually like him) so it's sarcasm.
June 26, 201015 yr It's pretty sad how many people have had to question/verify whether or not it was sarcasm. Really sad even.
June 26, 201015 yr This is the second preposterous thread Sin City has created (the KW for GM of the year thread being the other) in a short amount of time.
June 26, 201015 yr QUOTE (mr_genius @ Jun 26, 2010 -> 06:37 PM) i hope they have a big trophy ceremony for the BP cup. that would be awesome. Haha.
June 27, 201015 yr Unless this is the smartest thread ever, gettin everyone to take the bait, at own reputation's expense; that would be kinda heroic I suppose. I don't think that's very likely though. Somebody has to be a glue salesman.

June 27, 201015 yr QUOTE (TitoMB @ Jun 26, 2010 -> 05:57 PM) Yes. And f*** Chicago for not dumping the BP sponsorship.. but I guess it fits right in to accept dirty money in these parts. Pretty sure they didn't have much of a choice
