1/18 For North Siders, ITS SHINGO TIME
Posted on: January 18, 2008 10:22 pm
I heard today on 670 the Score that the Cubs signed Shingo Takatsu to a minor-league deal. Now as a Sox fan, seeing Shingo Takatsu pitch in the 9th was almost as painful as watching the Bulls in the early 2000s or listening to American Idol tryouts. He went from Mr. Zero, as he was called, to Mr. 10. Now i know i am a sox fan commenting on a cub, but i just wanna tell cub fans everywhere to not expect Shingo to suddenly become lights out like he was for 1 month in 2004. Any player from little league on can tell he only had 2 pitches, a fastball and a sllloooow ball, you cant even call it a change up. And at a park like Wrigley, all you gotta do is wait back on that pitch and windows will be broken on Waveland Av. On the south side, if Shingo ever pitches this year in the crosstown series (the most underrated rivarly in baseball, best one only to Yankees-Red Sox), he will be the most booed person since Sammy Sosa. So go ahead Cub fans, ITS SHINGO TIME.

1/18 For North Siders, ITS SHINGO TIMEI'd be willing to bet he never sees a MLB staduim this year. Or he may get "injured" and stay on the DL all year so Fukadome has someone to hang out with. By the way nice rotation put forth by your Sox.....good luck and enjoy getting torched all year! 71-91 with that rotation! |

1/18 For North Siders, ITS SHINGO TIMEYeah I agree that he will never see a MLB stadium this year. Oh and do you really think we will go 71-91, so is the knowledge of a Cub fan (actually the Cubs are my second favorite team so I'm just kidding), I know our rotation isn't what it has been but we added some bats with Nick Swisher and Orlando Cabrera. P.S. congrats on your 100 year anniversary (this one I mean in little more) |
