Cubs @ Reds 5/7/2010

[biggz]

We need a Starlin emoticon, pronto.

[jstraw]

Ok, so he probably doesn't hit for the cycle tonight.

[Destined]

PH GS!

[jstraw]

What's with idiot Cubs fans that can't keep their hands out of the field of play?

[offcolorpoetry]

Glad to see Starlin doing well.

Actually, if you are talking about the guy who caught Soto's "home run", I have no problem with him trying to help the team out.

grabow sorta sucks, by the way.

It just as easily could have been fan interference on a ball that would've gone out.

And Grabow is fucking worthless.

Oh.

[1060Ivy]

I don't know if that Castro kid is ready for MLB pitching but in another 3 to 6 years in the minors he might be ready

Go Cubs!

[Coach]

I hope those 6 RBIs dont stunt his growth.

[VanSlawAndCottoCheese]

Well, that was impressive.

[Ace]

I'll assume that all the comments about Castro being ready/rushed/whatever are being made tongue-in-cheek. It was an incredible debut to be sure, but it alone shouldn't change our expectations for him. Yes, he will probably play good defense, but we should be really content with a .750 OPS from him.

That said, his home run was a thing of fucking beauty - 2 strike count, he sits back on a breaking ball, and then drives it THE OTHER WAY for a homer?

Well, it <i>was</i> his second look at that pitch.
