[E.J.]

Neifi batting 2nd is getting really old.

[Omar]

Oh come on! No WOMACK?! NO WALKER? GUYS THAT CAN HIT.

 

UGHH.

[Brian]

yeah like we feard no jerry and the prescense of Nevin, means more Neifiury :x

[macuser1]

Fred, do you have all this programmed into an Excel spreadsheet? Regardless, I still have trouble trying to "parse" all those numbers. Any recommendations about something to read to help promote understtanding?

 

 

Actually, I'm using Lotus. Excel is so...... well..... it's Microsoft, eh?

 

Not sure what you're asking here with respect to understanding. If there's something specific here that you don't grasp, ask me and I'll try to explain. If it's just generally information overload.... well, that's kind of the point of the exercise. There probably is no cure for that. :wink:

 

:D

 

Overload, but entertaining. Actually I do have some books on saberletrics, I have learned a lot from those. Keep up the good work.

[Outshined_One]

Neifi in the lineup? Hooray.

[soccer10k]

Neifi batting 2nd is getting really old.

 

Agreed.

[soccer10k]

ps no drunk people in the thread please.

 

Does that mean we can't discuss Sidney Ponson either?

 

Zing. Good one Vance.

[Balsa]

Neifi batting 2nd is getting really old.

 

Agreed.

He has really good splits vs. Mulder for some reason. Just look at what Fred posted. It's a shame that Walker has to bench because of it though.

[soccer10k]

Oh god. Glendon is gonna suck tonight and Pujols is gonna have like 30 bajillion home runs. This is gonna be a slaughter.

 

Cubs pitchers tonight:

 

Rusch, Williamson, Novoa, Ohman.

 

There is almost no way we win this game.

 

GO CUBS.

 

Mulder will own us like all leftys do.

 

I get the feeling that Rusch will have more to say about the outcome of this game than Mulder will.

TRIVIA QUESTIION,

Q,who would put Neifi Perez out in second over Todd Walker?

 

A, Busty Baker!@E!#

You slammin my boy dude?

[CUBZ99]

What would it take for Dusty to finally realize that Neifi's good years are gone and that he shouldn't be playing, let alone batting 2nd in any team's lineup?

 

Is there any scenario in which the Cubs would DFA Neifi???

[CardsFanInChiTown]

Freaking soft tossing lefties always seem to do well against us.

 

Your a Cubs fan now? Yay! :D

A convert! A convert! Praise be to Jebus!

 

Hah why on earth would I do a thing like that?

I like your little paint job of the famous Pujols rocket.

 

Also-

 

ARGH NEIFI IN THE 2HOLE AGAIN

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Walker against LHP this year: .239/.345/.370/.715

 

Last year: .352/.398/.582/.980

 

2004: .268/.423/.317/.740

 

We go get Nevin, yet Jones still hits against LHP, and Neifi is still at 2B batting second. Diriculous.

Neifi's good years? When did this happen?

 

The Cubs like Neifi, for reasons unknown. I really doubt they dump his multi year, multi million dollar contract.

Don't worry, Gopher Ball Glendon is a batting practice tossing lefty.

[Brian]

Fox just had a stellar opening video (basically a "da cobs suck"/PUJOLS=GOD music video)

[NewUserName]

When Lee and Pagan come back doesnt it make the most sense to DFA 2 out of these 3, Perez, Mabry and Bynum? Somehow I am guessing that the Cubs will do something that doesnt make sense.
