I feel like you guys haven't seen da bum in a while. While Chipper certainly looks unfortunate there, we're talking about da bum here.

 

It's da bum all the way from the douchey chinstrap down to the leg warmer-looking socks.

Hopefully Kaplan dies of auto-erotic aspyhxiation.

 

maybe we can tempt him with an oxygen-less room filled with ryne sandberg memorabilia

 

oops, that should be "ryne sandberg and memorabilia."

 

sorry for the confusion.

Holy cow. I really couldn't even tell that was Chipper. Yeesh!

 

Oh, and Z just doesn't look right in another uniform...he looks to be in pretty good shape, too. Best of luck to him.

He'd better learn about proper hydration in that Miami heat.

I know the camera adds 10 pounds, but how many cameras exactly are on him?

I bet Zambrano could hit him now.

This bunting tournament just seems cool. Something different for sure. NCAA type bracketing and everything. Paul Sullivan just said the best thing ever too. Said Cubs are looking into getting Gus Johnson to call the finals. Obviously a joke, but it'd be the greatest thing ever........

MESA, Ariz. – Anthony Rizzo has never set foot inside of Wrigley Field, but that didn't stop him from envisioning a World Series celebration inside the cozy ballpark.

 

Rizzo, the Cubs' new power-hitting first-base prospect, has heard all the talk that he's supposed to open the season at Triple-A Iowa (he's ignoring it) and that the major league team is supposed to be in rebuilding mode (he's not worried about it).

 

But he's still thinking World Series, because quite frankly, that's what he does. If you aren't thinking championship when the season starts then why the heck are you even out there.

 

Asked what he thought of when he heard that he was traded to the Cubs, Rizzo said the memory is crystal clear.

 

“It was trying to win a World Series; the history of this organization and the drought this team has been in,” Rizzo said.

 

Does he dare put a five-year timetable on winning it all?

 

“Why not this year?” he said so matter of factly that it didn't seem as if it was the first time he expressed that thought. “But there is no timetable. Every year you go out and do the best you can do to win.”

“Wrigley Field and ‘Rookie of the Year,' popped into my head,” he said.

 

No, not that rookie of the year.

 

“I'm saying the movie ‘Rookie of the Year' popped in my head, not being rookie of the year,” he said about the family film that was released a month before his fourth birthday.

 

“If I go out and hit 1.000 in spring training, I can't decide wherever I go,” said Rizzo, who hit 26 home runs and drove in 101 runs while batting .331 at Triple-A Tucson last season.

 

"That's got to be the mindset from Game 1 to Game 162. No, I'm sorry, Game 173, or however many it takes.”"

Some of this seeding is weird. LaHair a 2? Dempster a 10? https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=372247192787575&set=a.113015875377376.17510.110242065654757&type=1&theater

Per Bruce, he stated that there's little logic, or significance to the seedings.
