niiiiice

 

Have you seen the lineup?

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Oh man, Neifi hit that hard. :shock:

[minnesotacubsfan]

Nief! saved us there......

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I like it when we give up an out to give one of the worst hitters in the history of baseball a chance to hit.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Nief! saved us there......

 

he hit it hard. chill.

Have you seen the lineup?

 

Yes, this lineup is going to struggle enough to score without giving away outs for free with the leading hitter on the team.

at least he didn't hit into a DP. GIDP is what neifi does best.

Brenly said Ronny did it on his own. I don't think it was called.

[Andy]

Another full count, come on Hank White!

In all fairness, I think Brenly sniffs airplane glue.

[da bears]

I really don't like it when Milton pitches okay. I like it better when he just sucks.

naaa. I've had the week of all doomed things, perhaps its coming out, but I'm just trying to have a little fun with this game..

 

 

no harm done

Agreed. Can't blame Neifi for that one.

[Guest]

Can someone tell me this: what is the point of having fast guys that can steal bases if you're going to sacrifice them over?

[cheapseats]

I'd like to hit neifi hard. :twisted:

I'll agree that we bunted with the wrong guy. Just saying we aren't going to outslug these guys with this lineup.

[Andy]

Damn it. This looks like one of those days where the Cubs decide not to score runs for their Cy Young contender. (see: Prior, Mark: 2003 and Zambrano, Carlos: 2005)

I was thinking the same thing.

:lol:

 

Sorry to hear that. Nothing like a Cubs win to take the edge off. :wink:

Was Cedeno possibly bunting for a hit?

ask Dusty. he's a major league manager, so he obviously knows more than we do. :roll:

There is no point, but it's entirely possible from the way cedeno bunted that he did it on his own - and brenly so much as said that.

No idea. I'm at work, too. Usually, they don't credit a sac if the hitter was clearly trying to get on, though.
