HEY! ANYONE HEAR ABOUT DOMINO'S NEW "SPECIALTY CHICKEN"? IT LOOKS LIKE HOT GARBAGE!

I live on the city limits of a fairly populated city and don't have a Domino's, Papa John's, or Pizza Hut within delivery distance. So weird.

Not sure exactly where you live but there's a Pizza Hut downtown on 16th and V.

The camera guy couldn't find the ball on the Bryant HR, but it had to have left the stadium. There was one guy in the bleachers near where it would have bounced back and he was just standing there looking up. That is such an easy swing to generate that much power.

Baez hit one completely out of the stadium to the same spot on Friday, and the cameraman couldn't find that one, either. These guys need to adjust to our hitters.

bryant is what 80 power looks like.

 

it really is mind-boggling that a 22 year old prospect in his first crack at the upper minors can post a video game OPS. i don't even think that i would trade him for stanton straight up (largely because of the salary difference, of course). i'm convinced that bryant is going to be a perennial all-star either at 3b or rf.

3B. Bryant should be given 3B and then it's up to someone from the next wave to steal it from him.

Fourth-hand info:

 

Someone on BCB posted that Brett tweeted that there were unconfirmed reports of hugs in the Iowa dugout.

 

lol

 

but yeah

 

@ZombieFerret77 @me @IowaCubs lots of hugs and high fives and pats on the back from the p coach!

Jesse Rogers reports Hendricks will be added to the 40-man and start against the Reds Wednesday or Thursday.

Anybody here get excited thinking of Baez and Bryant at Wrigley?

 

Not particularly. For some reason I always imagine them in road games.

 

You were supposed to picture them hitting bombs off their own face on the new left field vide board.nn

 

Somewhere Ricketts just woke up screaming from a terrible nightmare of a broken Jumbotron.

I was imagining something like the propaganda mural of Ivan Drago in Rocky 4.

Yesssss.

 

And when I say Ricketts woke up screaming, I, of course, mean that he did it in the Y.

Haha, his roommate, the crazy guy who picks cigarette butts out of gutters and has to get up in the morning to steal the change off of a bar left by the 3rd-shifters after work, is going to be pissed.

Where has Christina Villanueva been, I have not seen him in the box score for a few days. Is he hurt? Was hoping he was a potential trade piece in the near future.

I'm not sure we have a Christina Villanueva in the system. If we did, I'm sure she would be someone's wife.

 

Christian Villanueva is on Tennessee's DL.

no one is going to trade anything interesting for Christian Villanueva.

 

He's a top 10 prospect for over half of MLB teams.
