08/09 CUBS (Zambrano) @ Milwaukee (Bush) 7:05pm CDT, WGN TV

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Jacque Jones is now 1 for 3 billion in outfield throws.

[CuseCubFan69]

I know who Jones throws like now....the Syracuse University starting QB Patterson! He throws at recievers feet from as far as 10 feet away. One decent throw and then 3 throws 20 feet into the dirt.

 

Wow...as I write this Jones makes a good throw!

I go play bags for two hours and come back to find out that the Cubs are really, really bad.

[Sammy Sofa]

So close, Schlock...so close...

[Sammy Sofa]

I'll bet a classy steak dinner that Nevin strikes out.

[texascub]

A golden sombrero for Nevin to end the game :(

One interesting note that continues tonight for those that thought the Cedeno delay to play 2nd just was an attempt to get more at bats for Neifi..since Cedeno has taken over at 2nd on friday, Neifi hasn't gotten off the bench-not once as a starter or a replacement or a PH in 5 games.

[Laura]

They're saving Neifi to play 3B when Aramis leaves.

That makes me sad because it's probably true.

I think it's a Dusty strategy. Give him X amount of games to prove himself and then he won't see the light of day after that. If Baker lets Cedeno start at 2nd for the rest of the year I'll be shocked and apoligize to the Baker man in person. I do think that having Cedeno at second is a waste and that it makes 3 bad bats in the lineup....maybe I should say 3 very limited bats in the lineup.

Wow that and Baker getting an extention would make it just perfect.

If you mean start the rest of the year as any starts without a few off days, I would say yes. I think Cedeno will be sat down 4-5 games the rest of the way, but I think he'll be there the rest of the time. Baker has a pretty long leash on him-didn't even replace him that much when he was doing terribly in July. I personally doubt we will see Cedeno as the starting 2b next season, but I guess we will have to wait and see how it all unfolds.

Normally I would agree but that was when you had Walker around and Perez could replace him. Now that Izurtis is there neifi has to play somewhere and Cedeno will have 5-8 games and if he struggles he's wood bound IMO. I don't see Izurtis sitting that much if at all.

Actually Dusty has been very patient with Cedeno this year. He let him ride out his slumps and fielding blumders.

His last K wasn't vs. Bush nevertheless; I find it ironic that Brenly mentioned the Cubs posted a scouting report on Bush emphasizing patience. I'm beginning to think Brenly, after observing what doesn't work for the last two seasons, may not be a bad choice as Baker' replacement.
