Why's this on page 2? BUMP!

What makes me really happy is that after he made such a ridiculously sweet play, Rizzo remembered there was a runner on first and fired the ball back in just in case. Just titsteaks all around.

The standing on the tarp play is the one that's getting all the attention but the play earlier where he fielded the putout on Hammel's throw on the sac bunt & then fired across the diamond to catch a snoozing Gennett was even bigger as it wiped out a runner who was about to be on third with one out.

We got ourselves a non-smoking Mark Grace with a bit more pop and who is a much better base runner.  This makes me happy.

And not a waste of tissue as a despicable human being.

I've decided to get out of the 'judging people's character by how they [play the game/ wear a sweater/ make a lot of money] game, as that more and more does not make me happy.
Andre Dawson paid his $1,000 fine for the Joe West incident with style. Dawson wrote ``Donation for the blind`` in the memo section of his personal check.

I'm waiting until I hear Anthony's stance on slumpbusters.

I'm judging his character by his arrest record.

DPD. No idea why Cleveland's RF was shading Rizzo toward center, but bump for dumping a clutch go-ahead triple down the line.

At this point, Rizzo is literally everything I could want in a Cubs' first baseman.  Smart guy, great attitude and approach, ability coming out of his ears: what's not to like?  If he continues like this, he'll be replacing Grace in an awful lot of Cubs' fans affections when all is said and done.

He has already replaced Lee who replaced Grace in my affections.
