thanks buddy.

[TruffleShuffle]

My mom says

 

"I wish they'd stop doing this. I'm too old for this #!@%."

 

Turn the tables... wash your mom's mouth out with soap!

[Mizzou]

What an AWESOME game! Hill pitched well, Neifi! did it again, and for the 2nd straight game, intentionally walking DLee backfired.

 

Only 4 games away from a playoff spot now.

[jjgman21]

That wasn't a slide so much as a controlled crash.

 

^^^ don't listen to him Cedeno. i thought it was beautiful. :lol:

 

I've seen it four times now, and I don't know if he's in there if he does anything other than what he did.

 

two of the best jobs of getting into home in two consecutive games.

 

best ever, Dan Gladden's head first dive in the righthanded batters box and kicking his leg out to swipe the plate in the 87 WS

[ZZ Thorn]

HOLY JESUS THESE LAST TWO GAMES HAVE ROCKED!!

 

THANKS TO NEIFI, WHO DOESN'T EVEN DESERVE TO BE ON A MAJOR LEAGUE ROSTER! I DIDN'T KNOW WE WERE FACING HIGH SCHOOL PITCHERS!

 

OMG HIS TWO BIG HITS TOTALLY MAKE UP FOR HIS COSTING US OUT THE WAZOO FOR THE PAST TWO MONTHS!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!

 

It's a start.

 

Textbook hating: the guy wins not one but two games in a row and some still give him crap. Can't let him have his moments for even a moment. Textbook hating. Thanks for making a great game a little less positive - goodnight.

[radarluv1]

that was a pretty shallow sac fly. way to move, ronnie. this fells good. lets do this again tomorrow. except easier.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Yep, it was a great slide on a very good throw. Cedeno deserves all the credit for this win.

it's funny because when I yelled "BS" at the 3-0 pitch to Neifi earlier in the game, she got all over my case. of course my daughter was awake at the time :-#

[Brian]

So awesome to see Murton & Cedeno right in the middle of the tieing and winning drives!!!

 

Holy Crap on Sportcenter they did a side by side of Zito and Hill and it is very close.

[Brian]

Did anyone else almost scream and throw stuff after Ronny slid, because I thought i saw the Ump call safe but than I saw him pointing at the plate and for some reason I thought he was calling him out :oops:

ZZ-

 

I'll give Neifi his due. I think it's fantastic that he's been able to contribute to winning some games for us. I also think he's an okay bench player. However, he's definetly not an everyday player, and I think the joy of his successes is tempered a bit by the knowlegde that, when played 5+ times a week, he becomes a detriment.

 

That said, if he wants to keep driving in big runs, I'm not going to object.

 

 

And, just for You, ZZ...I'll even give Dusty credit for a game well managed. He used Remmy correctly, PH with Murton late and Macias early, and double switched with Cedeno. Well done tonight.

pulling an Eric Gregg? didn't see it.

 

anyone else remember that game against the Dodgers in the early 80's?

Really? I'll have to catch the replay.

I too apologize if my comments made you upset.

 

my mind was already made up that I couldn't stand him, and these two hits aren't going to change my mind, but it was probably an inappropriate moment to bring it up.

 

c'mon back ZZ.

[JonnyRed]

I'm feeling some momentum boys...Nice performance by Hill, clutch hitting by a couple of rooks and two big Ws by Dempster. Let's make it 4 in a row tomorrow and celebrate Mad Dog's 3,000+ in style!

Play the Rooks!

 

:D :D :D

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

One hell of a game, there folks!

 

Let's do it again!

[Omar]

I know I'm late, but I had to get off the computer at exactly the final 2 outs of the 9th inning.

 

Anyway,

 

CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN!

[Balsa]

This has to be a huge confidence boost.

 

Thank god Cedeno was running. I doubt anyone else on that roster (maybe Murton) could have beaten that throw.

 

Also lets Hill off the hook for those base running abominations.

[Brian]

Yes, they also showed it on Baseball Tonight. Zito's got a bit more bite, but's it's awfully close, they also were impressed with his K of Alou on the high cheese.

[ToupeeOnFire]

I'm listening to WGN radio after the great Milt Rosenberg show. They have Andy Mazur on and he is talking about Neifi Perez as if he is some undiscovered gem unknown to the general baseball public. He does say that the Kerry Wood to the bullpen rumors might be unfounded.

Yes, I saw that as well. Keep in mind that Zito have been in the league for almost 6 years, and that Zito is 27 and Hill is 23. So who knows? Time will tell.

Hill is 25, not 23.
