Need more proof Randy Wells reads BCB?

Even if you don't, here you go.

In this fanshot the other day, El Gato made this comment.

Well, after his start yesterday, Randy Wells made the following comment from this SunTimes article, ‘’My britches fit just fine,’’ he joked when asked about the outing. ‘‘I’m pleased as far as you set goals for yourself.’’ The comment is toward the bottom of the article in the "NOTES" section.

Congrats elgato, Randy Wells is reading your comments. Here's to hoping that Randy continues to pitch well.

Ha.

Well, I’m not sure that’s unequivocal proof. But, if you’re reading this, Randy, know that I’m pulling for ya — and that I wasn’t saying that you were too big for your britches. It’s my theory that the Cubs staff thought that.

I'd think that...

… a player might read a post that had his name in the headline. So yes, it’s entirely possible Randy Wells read your comment. And he might wind up reading this one, too.

I agree.

But the fact that he used the same word that I did isn’t THAT big of a clue, considering that “two big for his britches” is a pretty common expression.

If he is really putting random comments addressing BCB'ers into interviews

I salute him. And love that he finds it entertaining.

I think he was probably refering to his own statement, where he said he got to big for his britches.

Husker I have you agree with you

Do I see Wells sitting down and reading comments on a blog about himself? It’s possible but I’m thinking more that’s been in media for a while

But Randy if you are reading this….. tell Geo he should also start reading this also :)

these guys browse the internet the same as us – ok maybe not as much…remember they are no different than you or I, they just have a skill that allows them to be millionaires (damn you McDonalds and your stupid Menu-aire commercials)

Yea but didn't Randy Wells himself say he was too big for his britches sometime in the offseason?

He could have been referencing one of his past quotes
