1. These Guys Suck Posted: June 26, 2012 at 08:10 PM (#4167238)

I really dislike Randy Wells.

2. Walks Clog Up the Bases Posted: June 26, 2012 at 08:15 PM (#4167240)

Kinda bummed Rizzo is making is debut on a Tuesday, since MLB Network is airing a game instead of MLB Tonight. With WGN not carrying the game, MLB Tonight was the only chance I had at seeing Rizzo's first AB.

3. Dan Posted: June 26, 2012 at 08:22 PM (#4167246)

Hi slapped a fastball hard at SS that was misplayed by Ruben Tejada. You didn't miss much.

4. SteveM. Posted: June 26, 2012 at 08:26 PM (#4167248)

I can claim I saw Gary Scott's first Cub start and now Rizzo's. What a full life.

5. Walks Clog Up the Bases Posted: June 26, 2012 at 08:37 PM (#4167264)

Well, I WAS going to question why Wells didn't pitch around the 8 hitter to get to the pitcher, but...

6. SteveM. Posted: June 26, 2012 at 08:43 PM (#4167271)

It will be interesting to see what happens to Wells once Garza and Dempster are traded. I wonder if Theo will seek prospects close to the Majors or accept long term development types.

7. SteveM. Posted: June 26, 2012 at 08:57 PM (#4167288)

With both Soriano and LaHair in the outfield, the Cubs are going to give up a lot of doubles like that with their lack of range.

8. Walks Clog Up the Bases Posted: June 26, 2012 at 09:07 PM (#4167300)

Nice set-up for Rizzo's first home run as a Cub.

9. SteveM. Posted: June 26, 2012 at 09:24 PM (#4167321)

Wells can't get through 4 innings. Is there no better option at AA or AAA?

10. McCoy Posted: June 26, 2012 at 09:43 PM (#4167339)

Big moment.

11. SteveM. Posted: June 26, 2012 at 09:45 PM (#4167342)

The legend of Rizzo begins....

12. McCoy Posted: June 26, 2012 at 09:46 PM (#4167344)

Woot-woot!

Rizzo gets a double and Soriano gets to increase his OBP.

13. SteveM. Posted: June 26, 2012 at 09:47 PM (#4167346)

Who do the Cubs retaliate against for hitting Soriano? Do you bean Jason Bay in the dugout because I can't think of who else is old and broken down on the Amazings.

14. McCoy Posted: June 26, 2012 at 09:50 PM (#4167350)

Now the legend of LaHair gets to grow.

15. McCoy Posted: June 26, 2012 at 09:50 PM (#4167351)

Or not.

Another bases loaded nothing.

16. Meatwad Posted: June 26, 2012 at 10:38 PM (#4167387)

Did soriano just get hit again?

17. SteveM. Posted: June 26, 2012 at 10:42 PM (#4167391)

Did soriano just get hit again?

Well its not like he has cat-like reflexes out there.

18. Dan Posted: June 26, 2012 at 10:49 PM (#4167395)

Clevenger has a pretty damn good arm.

19. Dan Posted: June 26, 2012 at 10:50 PM (#4167397)

Rizzo looks like a great receiver at first.

20. Meatwad Posted: June 26, 2012 at 10:52 PM (#4167402)

I think the cubs may actually have a cromulant core of young position.players to not suck too much in the future

21. Meatwad Posted: June 26, 2012 at 10:55 PM (#4167407)

Is marmol our only hope to see rizzo bat again tonight

22. Dan Posted: June 26, 2012 at 11:04 PM (#4167412)

If 2 out of Johnson, DeJesus, and Castro can reach, he'd bat in this inning.

23. Dan Posted: June 26, 2012 at 11:06 PM (#4167413)

Davis would be due up 4th in the 9th inning, right? And now tossed from the game?

24. SteveM. Posted: June 26, 2012 at 11:09 PM (#4167414)

The Mets are not a very good fielding team.

25. Dan Posted: June 26, 2012 at 11:09 PM (#4167415)

Need Castro to reach to see Rizzo again here...

26. Spahn Insane Posted: June 26, 2012 at 11:15 PM (#4167420)

Davis due up third, replaced by quintanilla. How bad was the call he got tossed on? I can't see from up here.

27. Spahn Insane Posted: June 26, 2012 at 11:18 PM (#4167421)

Oh, and remind me what Marmol did to regain the closer role?

28. Dan Posted: June 26, 2012 at 11:18 PM (#4167422)

It looked like the runner was out, though Davis was basically blocking the first base bag. Tossing Davis for arguing it seemed unnecessary unless he told the ump he was ####### his daughter or something.

29. SteveM. Posted: June 26, 2012 at 11:18 PM (#4167424)

Clevinger probably was out at 1st on the pickoff play.
I fuccking hate Carlos Marmol.

30. SteveM. Posted: June 26, 2012 at 11:19 PM (#4167425)

David bumped the ump=automatic ejection.

31. Dan Posted: June 26, 2012 at 11:21 PM (#4167428)

Did he? I missed that.

32. SteveM. Posted: June 26, 2012 at 11:27 PM (#4167430)

Marmol came through. Will wonders never cease?
