:lol: Is this actually happening? Can't we just kick the Cardinals out of MLB at this point?

I don't know how they are going to make up all these games of declare winners in the divisions if there are going to be all of these mismatched number of games played.

On MLB Radio today, Brad Lidge was talking about how there is no way to play that many doubleheaders, not even at 7 innings. He and the co-host were talking about how to set an equitable approach if one team plays 58 games and another team plays 48.

Let's Play Two! Remembering Chicago Cub Ernie Banks

It's an admiring imitation of Ernie Banks, the Chicago Cubs Hall of Fame baseball player who died last night at the age of 83. Ernie used to say, especially in the long years of hot summers — including this last one, when the Cubs were stuck in last place — "It's a beautiful day for a ballgame. Let's play two today!"

It became his signature line. People on the street people would ask for it, the way kids at a concert call out for Bruce Springsteen to sing "Born in the U.S.A.", and he'd oblige. "Let's play two! Let's play two!" It was a phrase he used to remind himself and other players that whatever their complaints, they got to play a game for a living, and hear the cheers of strangers. It was a reminder to all of us to cherish life and the chance to have work that gives enjoyment to others.

there's a joke in there about a gay double header

Leury moved to the 45 day Injured List. So that's it for the regular season for him.

Super COIVD?

No, didn't he get hurt in the last game before Anderson came back?

ETA: He has a thumb. Surgery. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/08/ ... rgery.html

It will be weird to play only 7 innings. I hope I don't have to see Cishek unless the game is out of reach.

Probably in the second game.

Slid into first and got his hand stepped on.

Hopefully it's not his pitching hand!

He looks finished.

God yes.

He's been abysmal.

He does, but that still will not stop Ricky from using him in high-leverage situations.
