Rizzo has been called up! And he's hitting 3rd!! <--Surprised me for sure.
The staff and FO probably want him to know they see him hitting in that spot for a long time.

I predict Rizzo hits a three run hr followed by an immediate thread bump in the Padres forum by a Dodgers fan.
:laugh:
I wouldn't mind that one bit.
Rizzo had a good debut!! Hope he keeps it up
He just missed a HR by a matter of feet!
His swing looks so effortless, yet so awkward.
The Cubs are losing 16-1 :laugh:
Rizzo with his first HR as a Cub!
Another Rizzo bomb tonight! On a decent pitch too!
Stewart is likely out for the season with wrist surgury. Not a big loss, as he was batting like he was in Colorado. Hopefully he can get fully healed and we can take another look come 2013.
Rizzo with a three run homer against the lefty Santana. It's getting hard not to be too excited about him.
Good thing we got Cashner for him
The Cubs got swept to the tune of 23-1 by the Cardinals. Yuck.
I just want it to be known how much I hate Ryan Dempster.
If he stays with the Cubs I hope he gets loudly booed at the next home game. I've never seen a player screw over the Cubs so badly. Keep in mind we had Milton Bradley at one point. David Kaplan even reported that Theo was pretty livid about the situaiton. Thanks for screwing the Cubs Dempster!
I realize that Demp really pulled one over, but it's no reason to hate the guy. He has his 10/5 rights. He'll go where he wants to go. I think we'll still get a good package for him come deadline.
Oh, and Rizzo with his first walk off homer today!! I had to go to work before it happened. :(
How happy will you guys be if Garza, Dempster and Soriano are traded? That's a lot of money off the books for next year and most likely some solid talent in return.
I'll be stoked. Today should be fun!
