Garciaparra, 3B

It’s fair to say Nomar as a Cub has been a disappointment. It’s unlikely to go on for more then the 34 games left this season and I’m good with that.

It’s fair to say Nomar as a Cub has been a disappointment. It’s unlikely to go on for more then the 34 games left this season and I’m good with that.

However, for all the dude’s done for this team and tried to do for this team over the last year plus – including today’s attempt at small bit of heroism – he’s got my complete and total respect.

I don’t know how it was in Boston, I don’t know how it felt at the end. Maybe they were right and needed to move Nomar to move on. All I know is this is a dog team having a dog year, Nomar’s hurting in a bad way and had every right to pack in in months ago (not to mention two days ago), and knows he’s probably not coming back – and instead he’s volunteers to play out of position to help them win a game because winning a game is more important to him.

I hope he plays 162 games next season and hits .407 and (if we can’t win it) he wins a World Series, even if it’s with the Cardinals or the Astros or the White Sox. Nomar is awesome.
