LittleHurt05 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Jun 28, 2017 -> 11:30 AM) Once Rizzo spoke up, you knew it was done. Rizzo is the new Mr. Cub You know Rizzo's comments came with the Theo seal of approval. "I know you guys all hate the guy, I don't like him either, it's DFA time, feel free to call him out in the media please" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Lol. Montero was s*** there, but it's fine for their manager to accuse other players of dirty plays and roiding when his own players are as guilty or more likely. No one in that clubhouse mad about Grandpa Joe yapping his way to .500, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads22 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jun 28, 2017 -> 11:22 AM) The the Winnebago driving, wine drinking liberal manger is being dragged to the white house for a second visit as champions to appease the owner. Everything went right the last three years for them at an incredible clip. They caught some tremendous breaks in the post season that covered the actuality of the situation and made them appear much better than they actually were this year is kind of what I thought they were last year. A solid 84-90 win team that doesn't have the rotation to win it all. I don't see why his politics should matter, but he's also speaking to a group of young republicans while he is in town.

shipps Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 He was still really salty on the radio this afternoon. He was making excuses as to why Contreras is able to throw out runners at a better rate than him. Basically saying its not because Contreras is better hes just getting better opportunity than him. And then yeah, there is the whole maybe Rizzo misses Ross thing. LOL I am frankly surprised Montero wasnt just let go before this season started.
