   now confirmed

2. Man, it’s a hot one

3. What would they do with him? Who would they cut?

4. 

5. Here’s a great primer on this absolute legend of the game. https://youtu.be/NzSiUtv0Vrw

6. Oye como va

   The question is if he can make the bats cry (laudatory).

7. Jed has a hard on for washed up first baseman. Hosmer, Mancini, and the guy who ripped a solo on the hit single “Smooth” featuring Rob Thomas of Matchbox 20

8. Who is moving?  Caissie going back down?

   Edit: I don’t want Caissie back down.  Also realized Sept 1 is tomorrow and the rosters expand, so likely no one will have to move. 

9. They have to add him to the roster today for him to count for playoff roster, correct? In the event he has some resurgence

10. Oye como va!

    Is he gonna play today?

11. Let’s see how many old timers get this…

    Carlos Santana needed for a Soul Sacrifice bunt.

12. Ok, I guess, but why aren’t the Cubs giving Caissie and Ballesteros more playing time. They are young, have a lot more energy and excitement and eagerness to offset Counsell and Trucker more sleepy personalities.

14. I’d be excited if this was about 6-7 years ago
