Neifi w/ 3 hits. I thought the Cubs were supposed to lose if he played. At least thatis what you would have thought reading some posts on here.

 

Neifi is not THAT bad people...

[soccer10k]

Dempster gets a save? That can't be right.

 

Bob and Len said it wasn't a save situation and I didn't think it was either. Maybe I'm wrong.

Just back from the accountants (Yikes!) but thought I'd share that SportsCenter on ESPN Radio credited ROGER Cedeno with the RBI Triple. Hopefully that confusion is short-lived.

Yes he is. A good game does not erase a terrible career.

[FergieJ31]

Well that game was horrible. :?

 

Ahh music to me ears :D CFiCT is a good sport posting here win or lose.

[soccer10k]

Sweet!! Let's make it 2 in a row tomorrow behind big Z.

 

Isn't it Z vs Carpenter tomorrow?

Couldn't have been. He pitched one inning with a 4-run lead. That's no sort of save situation.

Yes he is. A good game does not erase a terrible career.

 

My point is is that is getting a little ridiculous to see everybody freak out if he is in the starting lineup. He shouldn't be a starter, but obviously he will start some games this year.

 

Can we stop the NSBB PMS whenever he is starting?

Boy, Roger Cedeno and Michael Murton - what a team.

 

Stupid network.

Just like last year's good 1 1/2 months did not erase the god awful 3 1/2 months that followed.

Is he an All-Star? No. Is he a good everyday player? No. But is he a good fill-in if need be. Yes. I don't think he should be starting every day but I do think he deserves some starts.

People freak out because Dusty is dumb enough to keep starting him if he does well.

He is only among the worst hitters in all of major league baseball since 1900. THAT IS BAD.

 

Today he got a bloop single on a ball that was a six inches of the ground and a lucky hop that golden boy Pujols should have stabbed.

 

Neifi sucks, he should never start. Ever.

And that people keep freaking out that Dusty is dumb enough to put him in the 2 hole, where he should be at the 8th hole.

[CardsFanInChiTown]

Well that was horrible and to make matters worse we have to contend with Z tomorrow. :?

missing my point. I'm hardly a Neifi fan. He shouldn't be a full time starter. But, he isn't going to kill you either. It is comical to see people react around here when he is in the lineup.

I think the problem isn't that Dusty is dumb enough to keep starting him if he does well. The problem is that Dusty won't STOP starting him when he goes into a big slump. Why wouldn't you want to start somebody who is hitting well? If Neifi starts two days in a row and has a couple good games and goes 5 for 8 or something like that, why wouldn't you want to keep starting him. It takes a good coach to realize that a player is slumping and bench him and get somebody else in there. Assuming the player is an average player of course and not an All-Star.

I just hope Z isn't too yipped up tomorrow.

I'd like to see you manage a team and find a way to never start him. Every position player on the 25 man will start at least a handful of games during a 162 game season.

Best game all season, IMO.

Agreed. BTW, I love the quote at the bottom Bruno. One of my favorite lines from the book.

Now you're on to something, guys who don't deserve to ever start probably don't deserve to be on the team.
