For The Series Win

Poor Juan Mateo is scouring up memories of Sergio Mitre from last year when he had to face Clemens and Halladay , although not in back-to-back starts. Of course Mitre went out and threw two of the best games he'll probably ever pitch. I'm all for a repeat. Cubs are only a half game behind the Nationals in the wild card race.

Dusty: All I know is that Nevin is due for a hit. Dick Pole: (under breath) All I know is that you're an idiot. Slap a first basemen's glove on Z for god's sake or something. So what's up with Barrett?

Dusty: "Blanco's in there. Michael's not quite ready yet." Whatever that means.

NEIFI DEALT TO TIGERS FOR MINOR LEAGUE C CHRIS ROBINSON

Submitted by Joel on Sun, 08/20/2006 - 08:01 pm

Cubs just traded Neifi to the Tigers for their third-round pick.

Submitted by Adrian on Sun, 08/20/2006 - 08:01 pm

ahaha Joel I win

Submitted by MCTH on Sun, 08/20/2006 - 08:02 pm

Neifi traded to Tigers as reported by Pat and Ron for Chris Robinson

Submitted by jumbo on Sun, 08/20/2006 - 08:02 pm

See you in Hell, Niefi. I'm now rooting against the Tigers, as no Niefi should ever win the WS.

Submitted by Walt on Sun, 08/20/2006 - 08:03 pm

Who will we pick on now? Macias, where are you?

Maybe Hendry will trade to get him back during the offseason. I'm having trouble imagining the team without him...

Submitted by Dallas Green on Sun, 08/20/2006 - 08:04 pm

I haven't been this excited about a trade since the Nomar deal. One down and one to go.

Submitted by The Real Neal on Sun, 08/20/2006 - 08:04 pm

There's some Jason Schmidt money! Maybe Hendry can learn from his mistakes.

Submitted by jumbo on Sun, 08/20/2006 - 08:05 pm

Too bad Rusch offers no value whatsoever. Even being LH isn't enough for him.

Submitted by Adrian on Sun, 08/20/2006 - 08:07 pm

jumbo - the Cubs team caterers are likely to attempt to void any Rusch trade

Submitted by carmenfanzone on Sun, 08/20/2006 - 08:08 pm

Maybe the Reds will take Rusch, they're trying everybody.

Submitted by Dallas Green on Sun, 08/20/2006 - 08:10 pm

Remember to send X-Mas cards to Placido Polanco!!!!!!!!!!!! and Dave Dombrowski

Submitted by Carlos on Sun, 08/20/2006 - 08:11 pm

Do you think Perez will be signed in 2008 by the Cubs?

Submitted by crunch on Sun, 08/20/2006 - 08:11 pm

but neifi is worthless and only the cubs would want him cuz hendry hates us and blah blah blah...thank f'n god. if dusty goes, no one will have anything to talk about anymore. bye TCR posters...i'll miss you.

Oh forgot about Rusch, one down two to go.(Dustbag).

Anyone else feel like it's Christmas morning with no more Neifi? We're getting schooled by Carpenter, and I don't even care! Neifi's gone! Neifi's gone! Neifi's gone!

Submitted by crunch on Sun, 08/20/2006 - 08:20 pm

neal...quit your whining. go back to that last post you're embarrasing yourself on if you wanna cry about me some more.

Submitted by chifan3887 on Sun, 08/20/2006 - 08:25 pm

This might be the best trade Hendry has made since the Lee one. Though I am assuming given the caliber of talent we got back that were paying all of Neifi's deal. Brenley said that Robinson was rated by BA as the best defensive catcher in the Tigers system. He will replace Fox as the top catching prospect in the our system.

Submitted by the E-Man on Sun, 08/20/2006 - 08:33 pm

Don't LET THE DOOR HIT YA on the way out! Actually - I never would have minded Neifi on this team - IF - he was used sparingly off the bench. He's a decent defensive replacement at a modest salary on most contending teams. NOT every other day!! Now he'll be a FULL-time replacement as an everyday player on a contending team. HE sure ain't no Palanco!

Submitted by Rob G. on Sun, 08/20/2006 - 08:38 pm

I doubt that chifan, he's not much of a hitter and he's just the best in the tigers system and they have no catching prospects.

Submitted by crunch on Sun, 08/20/2006 - 08:04 pm

was any money changed hands? seems like the only real plus of moving neifi would be to save a million or 2...take the bite outta izturis's contract.

Submitted by The Real Neal on Sun, 08/20/2006 - 08:54 pm

Crunch, Where was I whining? Admittedly I did do a bit of dancing... Did you figure out Neifi used to play in Colorado yet?

Submitted by crunch on Sun, 08/20/2006 - 08:32 pm

neal...seriously, just shut up or drop it or keep blah blah blahing. make your own rules, make yourself right...compare 1000ab's to 10,000ab's. and please...totally ignore the fact you wanna have a discussion about stats that i never even started yet you keep rearraging your arguement on. i cant talk to you if you're gonna keep changing the way you make your points and just flat out MAKE STUFF UP in other places.

Submitted by The Real Neal on Sun, 08/20/2006 - 08:41 pm

Man, That sounds like whining!

I never had anything against neifi... just his overuse. thank god that's over here.

    just waiting to hear patrick wisdom and masterboney are spotted at the airport going in opposite directions...

    aj puk going for the marlins (lefty)...gotta imagine we'll see wisdom in the lineup.

    someone has to make room for taillon, too.

  • crunch (view)

    he's a low-level cubs star in the modern history of the cubs (c.zambrano, k.wood, r.dempster, etc), but that star has dimmed...and has been dimming since 2021.

    2024 has been ugly the whole way and we're only in mid-april.  homers aside (even though there's been 7 in 17ip) he gave up 29 hits in 20 spring innings and 31 in 17 regular season innings.

    he's pretty much only got 2 pitches at this point in his career and the mix isn't fooling anyone.  he threw a noticable amount more curves in his last start to add to the mix and it didn't help his issues.  he don't have many moves left to break out.

  • Eric S (view)

    Definitely needs a 10 day stint for the hangnail - have to nip those things in the bud or suffer the consequences (ie, more opponent home run derby, etc)

  • Eric S (view)

    Thanks for checking and yeah, that’s a double ouch

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    Believe you are correct, checked and appears Cubs have a $2.51 million obligation to Barnhart this season per Cot's Contracts.  Also paying Trey Mancini $7mil this season.  Ouch.  

  • crunch (view)

    m.busch had 0hr and 2 doubles when he was last at wrigley.

    we'll probably see a few more of his jerseys in the seats when they return tomorrow.

    wonder who will go down for taillon.  hey hendricks, you got a hangnail or something?

  • Eric S (view)

    Nice work by Wesneski with some solid defense behind him and the late tack on runs were welcome. Gladly take a 5-4 West Coast swing, particularly down two key starting pitchers … Now just don’t get swept by the Marlins for Pete’s sake. 

  • crunch (view)

    dansby takes the team lead in SB today after a SB with 2 SB total.  the team has 3.  madrigal has the other one.

    cubs also have 7 triples, 7 players each.

  • crunch (view)

    sure am ready for p.wisdom and m.masterboney to swap roster spots.

  • Eric S (view)

    The fifth inning has not been kind to Wicks this season. Giving up leadoff doubles to Tucker Barnhart is also not good for business. IIRC, the Cubs are on the hook for the majority of Barnhart’s salary this season to add insult to injury (could definitely be wrong here).
