The Cubs are so awful.

Rizzo is not in the lineup tonight. Makes sense to wait until Tuesday since Johan is a lefty.

I'm looking forward to seeing him play. I'm sure part of his struggles were due to Petco, but most was probably just being overwhelmed. The Major League can eat you up and spit you out fast. Supposedly he's done some corrections to his swing, but we won't know until we see him in action.

I keep meaning to delete that silly irrelevent poll but keep forgetting.

What positions has Rizzo been playing in the minors? He was first base last year and they certainly don't have an opening there.

Didn't realize LaHair was still first base. Thought they already moved him and they had some jobber at first base. Either way I was being sarcastic.

Yeah LaHair is in RF, and some jobber is at 1B until tomorrow. Rizzo coming up means no more CAMPANA, or even less of him. Dude weighs like a 150 lbs and looks like he's 14, but he can steal bases like mad. He's entertaining for sure.


Youkilis is batting 2nd and Beckham goes to the bottom of the order. Youk ain't even hitting though. Maybe Ventura thinks the new setting will ignite him? Eh, I don't think it's a good idea, but Ventura knows more than I do.

CAMPANA will still play most days I'm sure. Late inning defensive replacement (he's fast, I assume he's a good fielder) as well as pinch running/hitting. It's the NL after all, EVERYONE PLAYS. Even Greg Dobbs. Greg freakin Dobbs.

Rangers top of the order save Beltre is slumping and even Beltre couldn't get a hit with RISP. If Texas comes back it'll have to be the bottom of the order that does.

Grimm just got destroyed in that 1st inning.
Yeah I was being a bit cynical, but I am surprised at how well Porcello has pitched today, especially after the last time he pitched against them he lasted a whole 4 outs and got rocked. Although he certainly had some poor luck involved in that, he's pitched well. Hopefully he keeps it up for another 2-3 innings.

Pedro? Really? The only Alvarez that matters is Henderson bro.
Tbh I was thinking Pedro too. I mean, it's the Blue Jays. Nobody pays attention to them, not even their own country :bron

Is Romero the only Jays starter that hasn't been injured?
We will see what happens with Alvarez but if he goes down then ya. They reported that he left for precautionary reasons following elbow soreness but they said the same thing about Drabek and he's getting TJS.

LIES LIES LIES ALL LIES :(
