It's hard to imagine that Neifi Neftali Perez was a bigger liability to the Cubs when off their roster than when on it. When last we left Neifi over four years ago, he was being honored as the second-worst Cub of my time. Now here we sit, eagerly awaiting his official retirement from baseball so that his Hall of Fame eligibility clock can begin its insistent ticking. Surely, a man with a career .297 OBP will not get a call from the Hall of Fame. He would, however, if the BBWAA considered only Neifi's statistics against the Cubs. His career pursuit of those numbers caused Neifi to scrap his way all the way up to #18 of the Top 79 Cub Killers of My Time.

Oh, Jim Hendry. For a guy with what appears to be the correct number of chromosomes, you sure don't understand baseball very well. Here we are on September 1st and, just as I suspected, you are still pretending that your mediocre team can make the postseason. In case you were wondering, Jim, Baseball Prospectus has you at ...

Friday Roundup, Essian-Style: Careful, Lou!

You'd think Lou would be busy celebrating his National League Manager of the Year Award this week. Not true. I guess when you win three of them, they don't mean much. Instead, Lou has spent his week demanding that Jim Hendry give him a better roster to work with. That's why Lou isn't here and Bad Kermit called me, Jim ... Read More
