One of my closest friends just picked up the phone... and it was Anthony Rizzo

[Cubbie Swagger]

First, let me say that this situation and these people are completely unrelated to the friend of mine that is actually genetically related to Rizzo that I posted about before.

 

So, I'm hanging out with a longtime friend in Bucktown earlier this evening. I drop my friend off, and head home. Shortly afterward, he calls me. I'm thinking, "Dammit... what did he leave in my car that I have to turn around for?" Instead, he tells me I'm not going to believe what just happened to him.

 

He said he got a call from his friend's phone. I don't know this friend, but I guess he is some sort of event promoter. My buddy picks up and says, "Hello?" An unfamiliar voice goes, "Sup, dude?!?" My buddy says, "Who is this?" The voice says, "It's Rizzo, dude".

 

To cut to the chase, I guess this event promoter was hosting/promoting some sort of event for Rizzo. He dialed up my buddy and then handed the phone to Rizzo, just to screw with my bud.

 

Here's the part that I thought was really funny: My buddy is going boating during the day tomorrow with this promoter dude, and he invited Rizzo to come along. Rizzo was all, "Yeah, sure dude. As long as I'm back by 5, it's cool!" My buddy actually thinks there's a chance that Anthony Rizzo is going to come hang out on his horsefeathering boat tomorrow before the game. I couldn't stop laughing.

I always wondered if he last named himself.

You kinda have to with a last name like that. It's a built-in nickname.

If my name was Rizzo I would never use my first name.

I am glad you cut straight to the chase and skipped over the part where you explain why he IDs himself by saying "It's Rizzo, dude"

Huh? That was part of the joke. Rizzo was acting like he knew my buddy, as if my buddy should know who he was.

 

Nice job picking the most random thing ever to nitpick.

So, yeah... if Rizzo is dehydrated or has a stomach thing tomorrow...

my only rizzo brush with fame was running into him at an off strip CVS in vegas...actually teh same day maddon's hiring was announced.

 

i was wearing a bulls shirt so i'm pretty sure he realized he got recognized. i didn't go all fan boy and go up to him though. funny thing was he and his friends were in the baby aisle grabbing the same thing i was...pedialyte.

rizzo is only hanging out with your friend so he doesn't have the tiniest face in the room anymore

I would want to be called Frank.

I met Rizzo once when him and Castro were the only ones worth meeting on the Cubs. [attachment=0]Anthony Rizzo.jpg[/attachment]

I met Sammy Sosa before he turned white.

[Cubbie Swagger]

You guys are weak.

 

I chased Sammy's yellow lambo down the street, beating on the windows. I told Moises Alou to quit smoking. I told Jon Lieber he was my favorite pitcher in the MLB.

 

I was a pretty wild little Cubs fan as a child.

My dad and I ran into Soriano during his single season with the Nats and told him he would look great in Cub blue and Soriano just laughed and laughed and laughed.
