sin city sox fan Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kev211 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 I'm pretty sure I remember Jon Greenburg ripping the BP Cup when it was announced so it definitely sarcasm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPN366 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 I assume the BP Cup is name after you know what, that in and of itself is bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitoMB345 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Yes. And f*** Chicago for not dumping the BP sponsorship.. but I guess it fits right in to accept dirty money in these parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quin Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Jon Greenburg is an incredibly sarcastic writer (I actually like him) so it's sarcasm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerksticks Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
