Pierre singled to left field

Pierre with a hit. Lets score some runs, or 5, this inning.

Well it's a good thing we didn't keep Nomar. He's only bat .300 with an OBP of near .400.

 

Cedeno's batting 315 w/ OBP of 340ish

 

I'll take .300/.400 over .315/.340.

 

That being said I'm very happy with Cedeno. I'm sure we could have worked out a configuration that would have allowed Nomar to stay. Say for a platoon with Jockstrap or somewhere else on the field.

 

Who would you prefer as your utility guy - Hairston, Neifi, or Nomar?

 

is that a rhetorical question?

Early in the season I was intruiged and excited about this team. Double steals, suicide squeezes, etc.

 

Of late this has been the same crap we've had to watch the last couple years. I don't care if Lee is hurt. Still need to play smart baseball.

 

I thought we were on a roll that when you didn't perform you were sent down or lost your spot ie Williams and Rusch. If that's the case, Jones should ride the pine until he figures out how to not get doubled up off second on a line drive to the friggin outfield.

 

I like lots on this team still, Murton, Cedeno, Barrett, Ramirez, relief, young pitchers, etc. But needless to say again they're frustrating to watch.

 

Jones needs to go.

 

Or else he needs to bat cleanup - he's hitting better than Aram.

 

Aram will end up hitting over .300, Jones wont

 

I sure hope so but I have yet to see anything that gives me a lot of confidence that will happen.

 

Last year? Or the Year before that? Or the year before that? Or 2 years before that?

 

Ok my mistake I haven't seen anything this year.

 

on may 1 of last year he was hitting .238, by the end of may he was at .267 and by the end of june he was over 300

 

I know he's a late starter but he really, really needs to get it going.

Pierre with his second hit in 15 at bats

[UMFan83]

I will give Hendry credit, he did improve the head of the bullpen

 

(everything else just got worse)

 

Yes I know Lee is injured Ramirez isn't hitting, but why the hell is there NO POWER on this team? Shouldn't Hendry have stayed away from guys like Bynum and maybe gotten a big stick off the bench in case, you know, we lost one of our few power threats?

Pierre with his second hit in 15 at bats

 

According to Dusty, thats his first successful plate appearence in the last 16 ABs

[cjbucks]

This guy is at 110 pitches!! Time to get after him.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

We suck! :evil:

[cjbucks]

[cheapseats]

I will give Hendry credit, he did improve the head of the bullpen

 

Unfortunately, our 7-man bullpen is spent.

 

And we just grounded into another DP. Whoo!

[Garwilly]

At least they are getting creative with the double plays now.

[E.J.]

This offense is a joke.

Currently I'm blaming you for allowing me to ask you to buy tickets for me to those two cubs games and you actually doing it.

Ohman in to pitch for the CUBS

[ManCrushOnNomar]

We are terrible.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Tracy struck out swinging

[oldstyle81]

we should try bringing up Pie and seeing what he can do, maybe hit lead off so pierre can bunt him over, god knows thats the only thing hes good at
