That article and the comments are a little depressing. The implication is that some scouts are worried he can't hit advanced velocity. It seems to me like that's exactly the kind of hole AAA, full of marginal MLB veteran arms, would suck at exploiting.

 

What the hell article did you read?

Rizzo was aware of fan clamoring for him through http://Cubs.com. Ouch.

 

 

Jizzo needs to find a better message board

[A New Era]

apparently he took media questions which is just over now. Guessing the next best time to catch it would be on CSN chicago tribune live at 5 p.m.

Jizzo

 

Yeah, no

She also finds Bob Rohrman to be disgusting.

 

Doesn't everyone?

 

Have you ever seen him in person? *cringing* He's even uglier.

I know people hate how smug Goldstein is toward Cubs fans with stupid questions, but LOL

Days I'm glad Twitter didn't exist: Opening Day, 1994, when Tuffy Rhodes hit three home runs.

That article doesn't imply that at all.

 

There is an implication that people worried about his ability to turnaround on fastballs.

 

He might have had a hole on the inside, near his hands. People began wondering if he had a slider-speed bat.

[Soul]

It points out his previous issues but doesn't attempt to draw any conclusions and ends on a hopeful note. Relax please.

of course you'd have an episode regarding something somebody maybe legitimately worried about a year ago

 

citing the comments, no less. THE COMMENTS!

I didn't hear any Chicago accent there

 

I think what he's hearing is a lack of a terrible jersey or ny accent.

 

No, seriously, she's got a very strong Chicago accent that is obvious to anybody who is not in the midwest, at least compared to your typical tv personality who do their best to eliminate any regional accent so as to further their career potential. The terrible Jersey accent is actually south jersey, which is a philly/delaware valley accent, and it is abominable. Staten Island/Long Island is a much stronger land of accents around here. I was actually surprised when I first started meeting Jersey people who didn't really have noticeable accents.

 

Kustok sounds like a slightly toned down version of all my female cousins.

She has a very strong Chicago accent. I usually find her to be gross, but she's actually cute in that video.

 

But yeah, it's amazing what a good makeup artist can do...

That tooth gets me more than anything. Most people can look pretty bad/awkward in a picture.

[SouthSideRyan]

Those pictures are both terrible.

 

I've seen her around town, truly breathtaking.

[seanimal]

my eyes find her agreeable. my attention to detail finds her giant hands horrifying

[cubbyvirus00]

Horseface.
