5/18 Nationals (Ortiz) @ Cubs (Wood) 1:20 PM WGN

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Neifi is 6 for 14 with 2 triples against Ortiz, that's the "justification".

[Mizzou]

I about choked on my breakfast when I saw Neifi hitting 6th. Come ON, Dusty!

Breakfast at 11:30? I wish I was still in college.

Wow, 6-0 Pirates over the Reds in the 1st. Nice to see the Reds start their early season fall now. :lol:

It was just a matter of time. I'm not surprised in the least bit.

[badger1679666666]

I think I might have to go beat the ever loving crap out of Dusty. Way to support your pseudo-ace pitcher in his first game back from rehab. Perez in the 6th spot.

 

How can Hendry look at this and not say "you're fired".

bruce,

 

is Aramis expected to miss more than just today's game?

[E.J.]

That's just funny stuff. Neifi batting 6th? Haha. And what's Neifi batting this season? Oh that's right, he's batting .197/.229/.258.

 

Makes perfect sense for him to be the #6 hitter today.

 

 

:wall:

Dude, he's 6/14 against Ortiz. The dude can hit, he doesn't go up there looking to clog bases or nothing. He saved us, and tose 14 at-bats mean more than his career numbers. He's had some unlucky breaks - hit the ball on a rope dude. He's due for a good break.

My Guess is that RAM will miss Friday's game and DH for Saturday and Sundays games.

Haha. I remember last year when Neifi was in like a 1-1,000,000 slump and Dusty said he was just unlucky. Good times.

i really hate Neifi.....

[frostwyrm]

It will be great fun to see a lineup with Neifi and Tony Womack in it.

I can't wait!

[goonys evil twin]

Go Neifi! You're the best.

[da bears]

Kerry Wood, please pitch awesome today and this season so the Cubs can pick up your option and you can blossom into the pitcher everyone knows you can be thanks. STAY HEALTHY!

[soapy]

At least Barrett is in the lineup. I kind of figured it would be Blanco with the day-game-after-night-game thing.

 

:?

Fixed.

There's really not a player I hate more. Though SlapCraptacular is getting close.

[BRASKYS SCOTCH]

Do you think when they're on the road, his teammates go into his hotel room, and say "Morning, Wood."?

 

One of my friends from college had Wood for a last name. That line never got old. Ever.

 

Even better, his sister married a guy whose last name was tree. No joke.

[Big Fergie J]

I refuse to believe that Kerry will pitch nothing short of a perfect game today............

 

 

or walk the first 8 hitters......sigh

[FergieJ31]

Can someone please describe what kind of reception Kerry gets when he takes the mound, if it's shown on TV?

 

For the benefit of us stuck at work w/no tv in sight :(
