Well, the regular lineup isn't scoring much, so you might as well put Perez, Macias, and Blanco all in at the same time! Yikes.

The Unstoppable Neifi

Alright, Neifi. I give in. 2 more hits in the second game. I will no longer criticize your hitting ability. I will cheer.

Say what you (or I) will abou

Say what you (or I) will about Neifi Perez, he's got a great attitude. He's quoted in April 14 Chicago Tribune as saying, "I'm not a .300 hitter, but I know I can stop another team from scoring. . . . I appreciate what they did to bring me here. . . . When I signed I knew I was going to be a backup. Whenever he [Baker] needs me, I'm going to be there."

Makes it easy to cheer for him.
