Neifi's Revenge?

After the Giants paid him $700,000 to get out of town, Neifi Perez may yet hold the key to San Francisco's post season. Despite the addition of Nomar Garciaparra, and a league-low OPS of .541 (that's 78 points lower than Barry Bond's OBP) the flashy infielder has done more in 22 at-bats than he did in 319 with San Francisco.

Cubs GM Jim Henry must remember Neifi's game winning 2-run shot in June that propelled the Giants to a series win in Chicago in June. Now, at least until Garciaparra returns in mid-week Perez, along with the four former Giants on the Cub's roster, could yet have his revenge.
