If you're having that hard of time of it, just pretend Wood is injured when the season starts and won't be back for 4-6 weeks. Then, just keep extending it with made-up stories about him not progressing as much as you would hope, scheduled to throw off flat ground soon, towel drills, simulated games, setbacks, etc.

Is It Possible We Were Wrong?

by: cubbiejulie

Tue Mar 18, 2008 at 19:22:54 PM CDT

No, it's not.

But there's no denying that Ronny had a good day today. He went 3-3 and came up a HR short of hitting for the cycle. No, I'm not kidding.

Yes, Ronny CEDENO.

It's no secret that I'm not a big fan. But if he starts hitting, and if his play keeps Ryan Theriot out of the starting SS spot, I might consider. . . not. . . hating him. As much.

In other news today, Jason Marquis gave up 5 hits and one run in 5 innings. Scott Eyre walked one and gave up no hits in one inning of work. Kevin Hart continues to impress, allowing no hits and striking out 2 in one inning.

cubbiejulie :: Is It Possible We Were Wrong?

On the offensive side, DeRosa went 1 for 2 with a walk, including an RBI triple to drive in Fukudome. ARam hit a three-run, opposite field homer in the 6th, and the game-winning run was driven in by. . . . Ronny Cedeno.

No, I'm not kidding.

Check out the expanded box score if you don't believe me.

It's Tuesday night and this is your open thread.

I believe in Cedeno, and by that I mean

that I believe he will return to E6, or E4, or whatever E- he ends up being until Lou benches him and we all breathe a collective sigh.

Either that, or we're wrong. I am too drunk to know.

Hmph.

Last season I tried to make a deal with Ronny Cedeno, watching a Cubs/Brewers game on the TV at Beat Kitchen. Down by 1 run, 2 outs, bottom on the 9th.

"If you hit a homerun here, Ronny, or even just get on BASE, I'll never say anything bad about you ever again."

He grounded out to second. I was secretly relieved, 'cause I'm pretty sure I couldn't have held up my end of it.

that is my point

he always comes through, by blowing it out his ass.

He went for a HR short of the cycle in a meaningless spring training game. That is his career in a nutshell.

I believe!

Ok, no I don't, but I really really want to be able to wear my Cedeno jersey without being laughed at.

It's the only home jersey I have, and I like wearing home jerseys better :(

Every spring Ronny looks good...

but once those extra decks are added to the grandstands, he become the batboy we all love to hate.

Give me a new ballpark, please!

Heads up!

Ryan Theriot isn't better than anyone

much less Ronny Cedeno.

Ronny Cedeno sucks only less so than Ryan Theriot. Stop drinking the Nutsack Juice.

He is right now

If Ronny gets better, that won't be the case. If Ronny has another start to the season like he did last year, Theriot is still our best option, as sad as that statement is.
