Over a Century of Bad Chicago Cubs Baseball

Scrub of the Week 2006 Archives

Scrub of the Week — By webmaster on Wednesday, July 26, 2006

Each Monday we will feature a “Scrub of the Week”. This is either the Cub player who absolutely sucked the worst OR a Cub player who did something stupid. Check back each Monday for the latest scrub.

August 13 - August 20, Ronny Cedeno:

Ronny went the last 7 days with a dismal .217 batting
average at just 4-22. He competed with several other Cubs for the “worst
average” over the last week. But throw in an error for Ronny and he takes
the prize this week.

August 6 - August 12, Jacque Jones:

Joke, I mean, Jacque Jones takes the coveted Scrub of the
Week award for the past week. Over the last 7 days Jones is a horrid 4-23
from the plate. Further showing why the Cubs went out and got him in the
offseason. Congrats Jacque.

July 31 - August 5, Cesar Izturis:
Is it really fare for us to give the Scrub of the Week award
to a guy in his first week on the team? Well he’s forcing us to.
Izturis showed why the Cubs traded hall of famer Greg Maddux for him by batting
3-17 with 0 HR, 1 RBI and 0 SB over the past week. Hopefully this
continues for the rest of the season. Congrats Cesar, you are the Scrub of
the Week.

July 24 - July 30, Phil Nevin:
Phil Nevin takes the prize this week. And he better
look out. The same week Todd Walker was name “Scrub of the Week”.
The Cubs decided to trade him away! Coincidence? We think not!
Anyways, Nevin batted a horendous 2-15 with 5 strikeouts over this timeframe as
a part time player. His glove was non-existent as well despite making any
errors. Congrats to Phil for the Scrub of the Week award!

July 17 - July 23, Todd Walker:

Big Todd Walker takes the prize this week. Not only
did walker suck at the plate going just 1-11 but he made 3 errors on the
week. 3 errors in 4 games. 2 errors were in that crucial inning on
ESPN Sunday Night baseball. Not far behind this week was D. Lee for the
2nd straight week and Joke Jones.

July 10 - July 16, Derrek Lee:
Lee was just 2-16 over the last week with 6 K’s. Pretty
solid for a guy who’s making $9,416,667 this year huh? He’s our first ever
“Scrub of the Week”.
