Casey Coleman facing Adam Dunn ? Oh, this will go well.

Haha, we needed something inspirational! Yeah, and I'm sorry I wasn't able to give it to you ! :wink:

In 1965 the CUBS finished 72-90..... good for 8th place in a 10 team league. During that off season the CUBS went out and hired Leo Durocher as their new manager. Upon his hiring, he proclaimed, "This is not an 8th place ball club." He was, off course, correct. As the 1966 CUBS finished 59-103 dead last and 7.5 games behind the 9th place Mets !!! Go CUBS !!
