Overflow Thread 2: Cubs vs. Reds, Saturday 9/6, 6:10 CT

“Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack,
I don’t care if I never get back,
Cause it’s root, root, root for the CUBBIES,
If they don’t win it’s a shame.
For it’s one, two, three strikes, you’re out,
At the old ball game.”

Let’s HOLD them now!

Doesn't really matter.

The main question is who plays in place of Ramirez, and that has to be someone that isn’t playing right now. Where they all line up in the infield after that is a secondary concern.
