Is this sudden attack of "OMG our club is inferior!!!! Attack everything Cubs!!!!" a coordinated thing or is it truly coincidental?

It probably had to do with a White Sox player being compared to Rizzo.

This is amusing since it's quite difficult to find a club in the history of major league baseball that is inferior to this year's Cubs.

And yet, here you are - focusing on them instead of the Sox. Again. :lol:

That spurred all of this? :lol:

So it is coordinated. Got it.

Nobody is saying you shouldn't follow prospects. But on the one hand you know intellectually that most top picks are more likely to be Nevin than A-Rod, yet you still "hope". At what point is such hope silly? It's about as valid as hoping my girlfriend turns into Kate Upton.

Well why even watch sports at all? Your team is statistically most likely to finish in the middle. Why hope for a title, even?

For example, the White Sox' first pick last year is hitting about a million in Kannapolis. I don't think his name has ever been mentioned in this forum. If it were a Cubs first-rounder there would be multiple threads about him comparing him to Willie Mays and Tris Speaker.

No, there would not. Not even close to reality.

Show me ONE comparison to a hall of famer

There is a thread dedicated to him in the White Sox subforum.

I don't think you helped your case.

It's not coordinated, but are you shocked that a thread that says Rizzo is a young version of arguably the second best White Sox player ever would get responses from White Sox fans?

Boo hoo. I have hinted at it several times. I don't think he's a roider but his career path certain would suggest it.

I'm expecting a Ryan Howard rookie type of season from Anthony Rizzo.

Howard in 04:

Games: 88
Hits: 90
2B: 17
3B: 2
HR: 22
RBI: 63
BB: 33
SO: 100 (Hope for less of these from Rizzo)
BA: .288
OBP: .356
SLG: .567
OPS: .924

My guess

Sounds like an authoritative Kenneth Williams quote.

I would take this, but does it compare favorably to Konerko?

Boo hoo to both of you. I've been flat out saying it on this site for a couple years. Nobody reads my stuff.

I will answer your question with a question. How many HR's did Rizzo hit in Venezuela?

Imagine what? Sox fans reaction? Good dolphin pretty much came out and said Konerko should be suspected of roid use, then Rick agreed. You might bait Frank into a response but overall your trolling would fall on deaf ears I suspect.

spanky · **Posted:** Thu Jul 05, 2012 12:28 pm

Rizzo sucks. Does he even own a home in Arizona?

I'm not sure anyone here cares except you. Unless Konerko or Rizzo said that quote its not really big news IMO.

The answer...don't care. I would like it if Rizzo could have a career close to Konerko's as that would be quite a success. Not sure what all the hand wringing is about, but that is a normal occurrence.

I won't believe it until Dr. Ken finally comes out and says it. Has anyone heard from the guy lately?

As a lifelong Cub fan,I'm sick of all this Rizzo talk. Didn't Cub phenom,Tyler Colvin hit like 20 HR's his 1st half season with the Cubs? They gave up on his ass pretty quick. Rizzo might fizzo by 2013. Who knows? Theo needs a lot more guys than Rizzo to fix this mess.

I dont get you, Jimmy

You've had it in for Rizzo since the day he was acquired because you knew he was gonna take LaHair's job.
