My boys are really stinking up the place lately and with the rat bastard Cardinals coming to town for a 4-game series, there is a distinct chance we will be thoroughly humiliated by the men in red.
I know it's been rainy, but that's not good enough. Personally, I'm praying for a monsoon. Maybe if we delay the games, the Cubs will have enough time to pull their blue-capped heads out of their pin-striped backsides and PLAY. THE. GAME!
I read recently where Aramis Ramirez has been playing hurt. Seems he pulled a right quad muscle on July 27 and has been "playing smart" since then (also known as "taking it easy"). The third baseman agreed that his injury effects his entire game; batting, running and playing defense. The numbers prove it: 6 for 30 in 8 games in August (0 for 15 in last 4 games), plus 15 errors in 105 games this year (he only made 10 in 144 games last year).
Somebody please explain how it helps the Cubs to keep him in the game when he can't bat, run or field in his current condition??? How 'bout putting him on the DL and playing Jose Macias at third, or better yet, bringing up Scott McClain from AAA Iowa? McClain's batting .292 with 81 RBIs and I'll bet he will bust his ass going to first.
Just a suggestion.
Ooooh, it's raining and the Cubs/Cards game has been delayed! I'll dance faster...
