Darwin Barney went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts as the Cubs' No. 2 hitter in Wednesday's loss. Manager Dale Sveum certainly had the right idea hitting Barney at the bottom of the order most of the year, but that's changed of late for absolutely no good reason. Maybe he could justify it against a left-hander, but certainly not a righty like Ricky Nolasco. Barney has now hit first or second 12 times this year and gone 13-for-55 (.236) with one walk in those games.
