In reference to Dusty's quote...

[Notorious]

... About when Nomar gets back and being pushed to play Cedeno, I believe he stated what was he supposed to do take Neifi out, he's saved us.

 

First let me say I hope this isn't a rehash of an old topic.

Now I know I am preaching to the choir here, but I can't believe the media doesn't rip him on this. What exactly did he save us from? We are only a few games over .500, and while we are relatively close in the wild card it isn't a sure bet either.

 

Also he "saved" us for all of one month, April, where he hit .360 w/ a .400 obp. He wasn't the only one hitting well that month, and ever since April he has had a sub .300 obp.

 

It appears the only thing Neifi has saved the Cubs from is Dusty having to play a rookie.

And in Dusty's mind, that might be a rather significant thing he's been saved from doing.

Scariest Dusty related quote of the day for me was:

 

HIS OWN MAN: When the time comes to renegotiate with the Cubs next year, whether before or after the season, Baker said he might not hire an agent.

[Jimy is a misspell]

I doubt he will need to.

Maybe he figures the 10 percent or so he would have to pay an agent he could just hand over to the IRS. :wishes:

I don't doubt that one bit, but why hasn't any one else asked what exactly Neifi saved us from and when?

It doesn't take much negotiating skills to say, "Goodbye".
