This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Short stint with the Cubs by bizdomer09
Memorable Cubs moment was pinch running in the 8th in the 2018 wild card game against the Rockies, stealing 2nd, and scoring the tying run - unfortunately the Cubs only run of the game. Then he was forced into hitting twice in extras due to an empty bench and struck out both times. Second AB leading off the bottom of the 13th down by one run, he worked a full count before chasing a pitch well out of the zone to strike out.
My memory of the above was foggy - I went back and looked it up.
Very sad to see him go. Seemed like he played the game with a lot of joy and made the most of his limited skills.
