    I work with all Cubs fans so it's been fun rubbing it in their face in the office today.
    Why would u do that?? Where I come from that would make u a dick. Aren't u the same guy that thinks there's a mapped out "script" for NBA playoffs??
    So on top of being a complete moron you're also a dick?? You're going places in life kid, keep it UP.

    Players who struck out 3 times in their debut include Troy Tulowitski, Matt Kemp and Darryl Strawberry.

    1-1, 3BB, RBI today

    He was just overanxious yesterday. Same thing he has done first game at every level. He adjusts quickly. Unlike most idiot SBR posters who overreact by the moment.

    The pen was unhittable the first 8 games, then fell apart the last couple. It's a good bullpen.

    In the 3 games since this Bryant's first game thread:

    6 for 10
    4 walks
    1 HBP
    4 RBI
    2 doubles
    Reached in 11 of 15 plate appearances (.733 OBP)

    But according to most idiots here, he wasn't ready based on his first game.
