The Anthony Rizzo DongFest Thread

[Saul Goodman]

A bump seems in order.

Nice to have a guy in the lineup who's nearly 42 percent of the way to first base every time he steps to the plate.

I had forgotten about that Gil line, and now I can't stop laughing.

It is absolutely staggering.

Can I be butthurt that TEC doesn't read my signature?

Yes, and you should be.

Yes, and you should be.

You should be more than 60% of the way to butthurt.

[Tonker]

I've watched the last two games and can confirm that, even when the Cubs otherwise suck, taking a series off the Tards is a hell of a lot of fung, mang.

Is Tony Ballgame a thing? Can we make it a thing? If nobody else likes it we can make it our thing. You and me.

At one point during the opening series against Pittsburgh in 2013, Len and JD showed side-by-side video comparing Rizzo's swing to that of Ted Williams.

The rest is shoutbox history.

When I Googled it I found a column by George Offman who decided, after watching that same comparison you mentioned, that calling him Tony Ballgame was a good idea. I liked it better when it was just me and IAN's. Now it's played out.

George Offman is in the Shoutbox? IAN is Offman? Einhorn is Finkle?

[J. Walter Weatherman]

If Ofman starts calling Schierholtz "Jimmy Butthole"...

[Bort]
