I just feel refreshed watching Rizzo hit the ball. And seeing Barney make those slick plays in the field last night...I don't know, I know the Cubs aren't going to win much and it changes nothing about this season, but it just felt good to see some nice baseball. And especially from Rizzo, what with the taking of extra bases, making that nice play to get Moore at home in Huey's link, the stretch to help get the out after Barney's first diving stop in Atlanta, and the confident swing...whatever, a little bit of positive after a few modest wins, let me have it and mock me later.

Not sure but back on topic for a sec--until now I hadn't actually seen Rizzo's first HR on Saturday. Kind of sweet that it followed a two-out, opposite field single by Starlin, and way awesome that he nearly hit out on to Sheffield-- a more difficult task than reaching the streets in left-- but I confess to being slightly uncomfortable with his pose/strut. I mean, I don't mind rooting for a douche if it means a championship, but given a choice, I'd likelike for my guys not to be douches. Tell me what a prick I'm being. What in the fucking fuck? |

There's no way they'd call up Vitters, right?
Although Valbuena is a guy that everyone seems to love even though his actual numbers stink.
But see, I was thinking that Vitters was all terrible and everything and just being sucky mcsuckerton in Iowa until I BR'd his stats for this season. He's putting together a solid year. I guess the reason why he wouldn't be called up is because the Cubs don't think he's close to being ready. It's not like I expect Vitters to turn the season around, that's been lost since April. I was thinking of Vitters along the lines of Rizzo. Rizzo was raking and he's the heir at 1B. Vitters is a first round pick, putting together a good year at Iowa, is 22, and there's no way the Cubs were betting on Ian Stewart being at third for them past this year. Or am I making a mistake by taking sports seriously on this board? |

Call up Vitters and then this team should not lose another game. That would put them at 113-49 for the season, and I'm assuming a top seed in the playoffs, where they'll win the first two games only to lose the next three to an 84-win Cardinal team.
That's a mock. I'm being mocked. You are mocking me. I don't like it. |

Josh Vitters time?
Let's hope not. Let him destroy AAA for a few more months and build up his confidence or [Chuckism]trade value[/Chuckism]. What is the plan for him? It seems like he's been in the organization for a really long time and he's just 22. |

So Ian Stewart needs surgery, hopefully to get his baseball skill put back in, and now the Cubs have no 3B. Most would say even with Stewart, the Cubs had no 3B.
Josh Vitters time? He's raking at the moment... .298 .350 .510 .860 13 HR 44 RBI 21 2B

For some reason, I checked Anthony Rizzo's stats at Iowa this year. He has 22 HR's already. So, like, that's cool and stuff I suppose.
He's also day to day after leaving yesterday's game after sliding into the dugout fence and getting an ouchie.

I guess Gil is the only other BF3 player up in here. BF Premium goes live today.
The rumor right now is that Close Quarters has been screenshotted on an Xbox 360 for a release of June 12, and that would make the PS3 release tonight or tomorrow. I'm definitely getting Premium as I really don't play any other games.

Starlin Castro could be obtained for two impact prospects, according to Nightengale. If that's offered, the Cubs have to take it. Because maybe one of the prospects would turn out to be as good as Starlin Castro. Maybe the Cubs could finally get Brian Roberts. |

When are you going to share the anecdote about his disdain for Soriano? We're all on pins and needles here.
Seriously. No one cares about any of the other crap you've been saying. He basically asked Dejesus--"So...Soriano--how much of an asshole is *that* guy?" and got the answer he was fishing for. My apologies. I asked, after establishing somewhat of a rapport, if Soriano was as much of a dick as he appeared to be. His response: "Every bit of it. Dude, wouldn't you be if you made like $500 million?" "Well, I'd like to think I'd be somewhat charit...you're right, I'd be an asshole too." /scene. I never really pegged Soriano for being a prick. I just sort of hate how he plays baseball. |

I'm literally standing in the baggage claim area at San Francisco airport next to David DeJesus and his wife.
DPD. DeJesus really doesn't care for Soriano. TPD. The wife is really skinny.  Was DeJesus cool with you snapping a pic of him and his wife, or was that a candid creepazoid snapshot you took? Evidently, DeJesus is okay with it. Props to Gil for taking a pic. FINALLY, pics and it did happen. |
