Nobody is saying never give the guy a day off. Sheesh. And hey, Rizzo was a guy who stunk against lefties for, like, 350 PA before he became awesome against them.
Given that we're talking about Addison with only 120 PA's vs. LH and Baez only has 74, they can probably give Russell a comfortable amount of time to see if he can adjust. It's not like there's a proven LH masher demanding to take playing time from Russell.
I miss Starlin's terrible photos. He didn't carry the goofy-face tradition over to the Yankees: http://cdn.newsday.com/polopoly_fs/1.11519695.1456696020!/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/display_960/image.jpg
I mean if you can confuse things as far apart in time as Pagan's gut and Bryant's hangovers, there is Niko's recent appendectomy. That wasn't confusion so much as I love making fun of Bryant for his hangover poops.
Weirdly, I could have sworn he missed time due to the same thing years ago. Was there even a Cub felled by a bum appendix or am I just completely making that up? Maybe I'm thinking of Angel Pagan's churning gut. Or Bryant's booze-based tummy troubles.
For those that didn't see: http://screengrabber.deadspin.com/stephen-curry-hits-game-winning-record-breaking-jumper-1761764910 Kanter's reaction from the OKC bench is the best; he's putting his hands up in disbelief and exasperation just when Curry takes the shot and it hasn't even gone in yet. He knows.
Though do we really want to sully such a great logo with "the best place to talk Cubs baseball on the internet?" Maybe we need a thread to submit and vote for a new whatever the hell that is...
