7/27 Giants (Tomko) @ Cubs (Zambrano) 1:20 CST WGN

Well, to Neifi's defense, hes done pretty well this season. I dont expect Cedeno to start ALL the time. But he should maybe get a few more starts.

 

In Hollandsworth's case, there is NO excuse. Murton should be getting all the starts.

 

Uhh.... .265/.285/.377. Not picking on you, because I have recently read multiple articles stating, that Neifi has been "great" for us this year.

 

I'm confused how the above line is anything more than atrocious, especially for a team in the wild-card hunt.

 

You would think that teams in our position would be the most likely to try and ride the hot hand, and not stick to guys like Perez.

 

He's a shortstop. He's our backup shortstop.

 

He has a lot of rbis and a pretty fair BA for a SS - he's not Babe Ruth however.

and yet dusty wants to continue to play him over nomar when he returns.

[Coach C]

nice play derrek :roll:

 

Couldn't make it. It took a real bad hop.

get in front of it instead of trying to play it off your side then.

 

He couldn't do that, becuase he had to play away from the bag after holding the runner to first. Plus that ball was hit hard that he never had a chance to play it properly.

I've got to go with Derrek on this one...he played it fine...it just took an awful hop.

[Omar]

struck him out!

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Why is everyone always bickering in game threads? Yeesh!

true i guess he was holding a guy on.

Thanks ump! Saves a run with the passed ball otherwise? Edited July 27, 2005 by JGalt73

I wouldn't read too much into that. Those quotes seem like Dusty's normal compliments to a vet who filled in and doesn't want him to feel like his contributions aren't appreciated.

God I hope your right, otherwise I think Hendry has to step in.

Yeah right. You're taking him too literally.

 

I give Dusty a lot of credit for a quote like that: He knows he's going to get flack but he still backs his players. When Nomar returns there's no doubt he'll get the lion's share of the PT but Dusty won't diss Neifi, who's done a better than expected job for the team, by saying so publically. When Neifi loses his spot, and he will if Nomar is healthy, that's when Dusty will say so - way to avoid controversy in the clubhouse Dusty. Nomar's not even there so it's all speculation anyway.

Seriously. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

 

He was holding the runner at first. When the pitch flies his momentum carries him toward 2nd base. He couldn't get back to get behind it. Plus it took a hop right off the grass.

[sethuel1]

Macias is now batting .290!!!

 

God he sucks so badly! It makes me so mad!! How can he be starting on a day game after a night game that lasted until 1 am when he's only hitting .290? AUGGHHHHHH!!!

 

Dude, can you refrain from attempting to goad people into insipid arguments for five minutes?

 

take your argument up in a thread about Jose and stop wasting space in here about it.

[illiniguy]

ok Z lets end this little inning right here.

yeah i had a brain fart and forgot he was holding a runner on. I just expect derrek to catch everything at this point.

[BleedCubbieBlue81]

I sense a lot of anger in the game threads today... must be a full moon.

[Coach C]

*whew*

 

Carlos gets out of another jam.

[Blueheart05]

Good job Z

 

he strikes him out with the sacks packed

[ZZ Thorn]

Why is everyone always bickering in game threads? Yeesh!

 

I'd rather hear productive discussions than the usual endless complaining.

 

Z holds the lead.

[badger1679666666]

Thatta boy Z.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

sheesh, 29 pitch inning blew up his pitch count.

[Flames24Rulz]

could've been much worse. at least we still have the lead :)

I thought it was interesting that Macias is hitting a very good .290. I figured a lot of people must be unaware, considering the bashing of him.

Like your post about Macias fosters productive discussion.

[OldHappyCubFan]

We're all Cub fans. Alot of us are pessemistic, moody, and just wanna win badly.

 

 

Nothing here is hatred, but just frustration, and love for the Cubs.

Then say that. your post is clearly geared toward pissing everyone off instead.
