So today has been uneventful, as the sporting world usually is around this time. So while trying my hardest to come up with a story worth reading, I found myself patrolling the Blogiverse, or whatever the hell they are calling it these days. In my travels I learned something interesting: Cubs blogs hate really don't like each other.
Take for example the recent war of words between Tales from Aisle 424 and Paul Sullivan. It all started with this Tweet: One idiot gone, one idiot en route. Former leader of Boston's '04 "Idiots" signs minor league deal with Cubs.
That led to a response from from Aisle 424: It is My Subjective Opinion that Paul Sullivan is an Asshole
That led to a link from Wrigleyville23: A Testy Day in Cub Media Land
In the comment section was a response from The Hawk, which led me to this story from The Bad News Cubs: Existence Fail - MB21 and ACB
Aisle 424's post also led to a response from Hire Jim Essian: Paul Sullivan Gave My Imaginary Kid Boner Cancer
Which led to a response from Another Cubs Blog: Starfuc*ers Inc.
Which led me to the comment section and a link to this article from Hire Jim Essian that refers to Al Yellon of Bleed Cubbie Blue: Yellon Pissed at HJE for Using His Image Without Permission
It takes some reading, but within each of these posts you'll find some disdain for one of the other Cubs blogs or Paul Sullivan.
To sum up, as best I can: Another Cubs Blog and Hire Jim Essian dislike Bleed Cubbie Blue, but Another Clubs Blog also dislikes Hire Jim Essian. Bleed Cubbie Blue dislikes Hire Jim Essian. The Bad News Cubs dislikes Another Cubs Blog and Wrigleyville23 (or Faggotville23 as The Hawk prefers to call him). Aisle 424 and Wrigleyville23 dislike The Bad News Cubs. And so on.
Whew, I better make sure nobody dislikes me. I suppose they'll have to find me first.
Update: Let me be sure to say clearly that I love them all, and they amuse me to no end. I'm such a puss.
