Perez is starting to hit the ball now, i can see him going 3/5 today

[cubs121]

My point is i trust Baker to make the right lineups day in day out. I also trust Dusty because he almost became the first manager in baseball history to bring 2 different teams to a world series in consecutive years.

 

Having Patterson and Perez bat 1-2 in front of a guy having the season any player could dream of last year made a lot of sense. But of course, he can make "the right lineups."

 

Who would you bat 1 and 2 last year

 

Walker definitely and maybe even Barrett. Some people last year were even clamoring for having Lee lead off last year with the lack of success with Patterson and Perez in the lineup.

 

Lee leading off?

yeah he would lead off the game with a three run homer..... :D

You mean .667 OPS last 7 days starting to hit the ball?

[cubs121]

Thanks Bruce.

 

I want Womack back, NOW.

 

Me too. I miss Womack already. (Neifi in Dusty's 2hole already) :cry:

 

WHAT, A, [removed].

 

 

ewwww.....

LOL :lol:

[ToupeeOnFire]

Dusty is not even predictable by his own standards. You'd think it would take a crowbar to keep Womack from starting, but instead, Dusty throws us a curveball and plays his favorite pet.

 

Whiskey tango foxtrot.

[Drew Doughty]

yeah, this is just bizarre. The offense lights up with Womack in the lineup and we promptly take him out.

 

Odd.

 

On the bright-side, we did score 5 runs with Neifi batting 2nd on Friday. ](*,)

[Derwood]

I seriously need to update my Usual Suspects poster for 2006

 

in other news, it's a full night of Cubs and laundry. What a way to spen a Wednesday night :roll:

[Shavo]

If Nevin plays at 1B for the next two weeks, I find it hard to bealive that Dusty won't find a way to bench Walker/Cedeno for Womack/Perez. MORONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!

 

Edit: Not for every game, but for some.

[baseball7897]

In Dusty we Trusty...

[Mizzou]

My point is i trust Baker to make the right lineups day in day out.

But he doesn't make the right lineups. How is Neifi Perez batting second considered to be the right lineup?

[Shavo]

In Dusty we Trusty...

 

:wink: Whatever your on, share it with the rest of us! Jeez.

emmmmmm NEVIN... emmmmmmmmm WOMACK, PEREZ.

what a great combo.. :lol:

[ToupeeOnFire]

I don't know if it is news to anyone else, but Neifi is currently batting over .200.

 

Somehow I find that strange...and not too pleasing.

Baker is among the winningest managers in the majors since 1993, and is a three-time winner of the Manager of the Year award.

I believe this was discussed in another thread already.

[baseball7897]

Bottom line Dusty gives the cubs the best shot of winning. You actually think bringing in a new manager would change everything? Wouldnt change the fact the cubs have had 3 rookies this year making their first major league start, wouldnt change the fact Lee their best hitter and the 05 hitting champ is out of the lienup. How can you win with 3 rookies making starts?

The giants rotation that year combined for 66 wins, i think that played a roll in them winning the NL pennant

So you don't have a problem with Neifi batting second? You don't have a problem with Dusty's complete ignorance of OBP? Dusty sucks.

[da bears]

BOOOOO NEIFI!

[Sosa21MVP]

This winning thing kind of feels good. :)

 

A win tonight would be sweet as one of my close buddies is a huge Reds fan and was running his mouth before the series. Not that I'd have blamed him. :?

[rocket]

I don't know. Ask Bobby Cox.

Freel blooped a single to right field

Thats your opinion and I respect that. I do have a problem with neifi batting second but i dont have a problem with him in the lineup

[Sosa21MVP]

Win you idiots.

 

You sound like my dad. :lol:

[ToupeeOnFire]

Zambrano...nice.
