Didn't help that his knees were being held together with dental floss at that point.

Yeah, same as Dawson but Dawson was still a HUGE fielding threat.

Not gonna lie, I had to Google how close Soriano came to this and he dramatically stopped stealing as many bases as soon as he became a Cub.

Just going off memory but I think that was an organizational philosophy thing rather than a health thing. They didn't want him running into outs in front of Lee and Ramirez

I remember how impressive it was when Bobby Bonds accomplished this.

I think you have to give Colin Rea the ball next week, especially with how you use staffs in the postseason. He's going to give you a rock solid 4+ and the moment isn't going to be too big for him.

Wild.

Maybe rest some pitchers but the offense has been in enough funk that kind of want to get some momentum going into the playoffs so just keep rolling out your usual lineup IMO.

I don't disagree but, I would be shocked if that happens.

Beating the Cards to get to 90 wins is fine I guess
