All I can say is thank God we don't have any rookies playing today. I surely wouldn't want to get "no-hit". Dusty you're awesome. :pukel:

the 2 sad things are that for neifi this is a stellar year and for this cubs team his year is also stellar. he has been the cubs 4th or 5th best offensive player for most this year. behind lee, aram, barrett and walker(when he was healthy) he has been betterthan burnitz except for burnitz' hot times....it is truly a sorry team that has perez as one of your best offensive players....he should be 25th(offensively) on any team he plays for!

 

Burnitz has been a terrible disappointment. But by no means can you say Neifi has been better. Also, Hairston has been better.

 

Why? Burnitz is doing pretty much everything I expected him to do.

I'm sorry to laugh at the Cubs' misfortune, but I really did bust out in a laugh when I got home, saw the score, and then checked the lineup.

 

LOL! Great managing, Dusty. Truly great.

ok burnitz was a stretch but neifi has outhit him most of the year and burnitz is by no means good. hairston...i don't think so, he is a better player but not this season.

 

I think a hundred points' difference in OPS is indicative that Perez has most definitely NOT outhit Burnitz all year.

 

That being said, Burnitz' level of suckiness was exactly what nearly everyone predicted before the year began. Neifi's level of worse-suckiness-than-Burnitz-but-better-than-his-usual-level-of-suckiness is a moderate surprise.

"You know those rookies aren't used to playing this late in the year. They simply don't have the stamina that a old codger would have after 5 months of a baseball season". By the way, what's the over/under on Williamsons' arm falling right off?

I'd throw him for the rest of the game and see how it goes.

No offense to Williamson, but hopefully his arm falls off just enough so that Hendry won't re-sign him, but not enough to prevent another team from signing him.

Lee's now hurt? unbelievable.

 

Really? More info please!

 

No new info. I'm listening on the radio, so I don't exactly get the best information and analysis. I'm sure when something is reported, it'll be all over.

a liitle fodder to keep our minds off dlee.

neifi(our savior) .279 9hr 47 rbi

hairston .267 4 hr 26 rbi

burnitz .269 21hr 70 rbi(hitting 4-5-6) all year.

sadly, neifi has been better than hairston and comparable to burnitz...

it's really an indictment of hairston,burnitz,patterson,holla, lawton, gerut, nomar,dusty(for not playing cedeno,dubois,murton..etc) and hendry( for thinking this was a good lineup)

How does any discussion of Cub didappointments this year not begin with patterson. He has 28 RBIs (Blanco is sneaking up on him) and is in the .220s. This from a guy counted on to be a key member of the offense.

Williamson is a damn good pitcher. He just came back from tommy-john and he should be good next year. Some say he was rushed so just be patient with him. He is very good.

What is neifis OBP compared to Hairston? How many ABs has Neifi had compared to Hairston. How many SBs? Runs? SOrry, I dont buy that Perez has been better.

Even being a little better than Perez shouldn't be considered a compliment for anyone. The problem is Hairston, Perez and Macias are all too similar to be on the same team.
