I hope I missed an attempt at sarcasm. Yeah, let's mail it in when we're 1 game out. Although in your scenario, Soto would be your catcher, not Old Man Kendall. If Ramirez is hurt, the other 24 guys in that clubhouse need to sack up and play some effin baseball. Excuses are for losers... And everything I've ever seen in my years as a Cubs fan suggest they're anything but. If they can't handle scoring runs without Soriano, I doubt they're going to suddenly start lighting the world on fire without Soriano and Ramirez.
