Gosh, no. I see what you are saying, and its a very creative idea, but if this happens I would like baseball a little bit less. I hate the DH, and I would hate this even more. I like my baseball players to be complete.
What a difference a year makes in attitude around this place. In a good way. :lol: As you all know, I'm a pessimistic prick. It takes a LOT for me to make a statement like that. But I really am confident that we can generate something tonight. And if we don't we'll probably do it tomorrow. Being 20 games over .500 in June gives you that type of perspective. If the Cubs go on a 7 game losing streak, I'll probably go back to negativity, just so you know :)
We can win this if Dempster pitches well. The Cubs have defeated a lot of ace quality pitchers this year, theres no reason we can't scratch across a run or two and somehow win. It won't be easy but we can do it.
The HOF people are going to hold them hostage until they can play a game. They might have to forfeit tomorrow's game in Tampa so that they can play this one.
Does it have to be a 40 man guy? No. 12-15 guys from the Mesa Cubs will be up. Is Iowa scheduled to go on the road after today. Again after being flooded out, you'd think this would be a cool opportunity to get some work in.
