9/8 Cubs (Zambrano) @ Giants (Lowry) 9:15 CT WGNTV

Cedeno up the middle!

 

NOMAH!!!!!!!!!

[cjbucks]

Nomar with a 1.072 ops in September - wow

[muntjack]

Boy, the more he hits like this, the more I want to give him another year.

My head tells me we don't want him back but watching him hit lately - I don't know.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Z don't need no stinkin' Jose Macias batting for him!!

 

Of course not. He's "only" thrown 108 pitches thus far. He's good for a few more innings in a meaningless game...right?!?

 

I'm cool with taking him out - I just think he is probably a better hitter than the guy who would probably have pinch hit for him.

 

Not according to Dustylogic™, nobody is better than the Mighty Macias.

 

BTW, Nomahhh~!

Nomar, despite how bad his average was when he was injured, has raised his average to 274. I wouldn't mind re-signing him if we can get him for five million or less.

I wasn't aware Dusty had that stuff trademarked.......maybe he should give up coaching and hit the lecture circuit :wink:

I say give him another year as well. Sign him to a low base salary with plenty of incentives. If he gets hurt or fizzles out, you have Cedeno ready to take over.

 

Unfortunately, I feel like the Cubs will let Nomar walk and instead go with a Neifi/Cedeno arrangement...and you know what that means, expect Neifi to get at least 80% of the playing time.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Wow, these last two innings are the best Z has looked all game.

 

Now take him out, Dusty.

Pitch #125 = 5th straight K

I want him back, too.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

I think Z needs to pitch the 8th. I'm sure he wants the win. 125 pitches isn't that much.

is that sarcasm?????????????????

[muntjack]

Murton's 3rd time on base tonight...... from the 8 hole.

[Brian]

bye bye matt, see you in 2 weeks

[Chris]

Murton with 2 walks too many

[Chris]

ha ha, that would be great if Corey got picked off as a pinch runner

[Chris]

I betcha Dusty will figure out a way to blame Murton for it!

[Laura]

Well ...

[ToupeeOnFire]

I was going to say that I thought that it was a pretty good idea to pinch run with Corey at this stage of the game.

 

...of course, then he get's picked off. :roll:

[Brian]

we need a better set-up man than bobby novoa.

[Chris]

Ok, it really wasn't great, but I laughed
