Rizzo

I can almost see Kaplan's blank dopey expression when I read that tweet.

I can almost see Kaplan's blank dopey expression when I read that tweet.

I can see the drool as he scours the laundry for another athlete's jock.

I don't think it's huge news, but it's nice to see, especially if you see pictures of Rizzo with his family and are reminded that genetics aren't on his side.

 

That's the thing; Italian dude from a family that loves to eat somehow drops 30 pounds over the holidays? Nigh impossible. Hopefully just Kaplan being an idiot.

 

god only you would put this much weight is some jock sniffing kaplan tweet lol. quit looking for something to go wrong you turd.

OK, all joking a salad, I was genuinely concerned about Rizzo. To me this seems way too early for the usual "he's in the best shape of his life" stories; If I see someone I haven't seen in only a couple months and I think "whoa, they've lost 30 pounds" odds are I'm going to be worried something is wrong with them, especially if it happened over the holidays. Plus he's a power guy, so I would have figured that getting him into shape would be a combination of losing a little weight and conditioning, and not just dramatically dropping the equivalent of a toddler with still over a month to go before pitchers and catchers report. Obviously, it's all just based off of Kaplan's dumbass tweet, but it's still surprising to me.

Not surprising, I thought rizzo got a little pudgy as the season went on last year. Probably working out a lot more now that it's the offseason.

 

Also 30 might be a stretch, he looks totally fine in that picture.

Kaplan: You look great. Are you losing weight?

Rizzo: About 30 pounds. *rolls eyes*

Kaplan: *tweets*

Rizzo: *eats 2 more cannoli, blows fart at Kaplan*

[Ding Dong Johnson]

But really, it probably wasn't even Rizzo that Kaplan was talking to.

He definitely looks more slim/fit in this pic he just tweeted.

his face takes up considerably more space on his head now

Maybe he was on some Jerry Lewis-style steroids and he's cycling.

 

That pic makes me want to feed him a sammich or five.

His interaction with the Cubs twitter account afterwards was worth a chuckle too.
