They also pick up BA Baracus, the KGB, Swiss Guard, G.I. Joe, Rambo and Scotland Yard to patrol home plate. Not theirs but Chicago's.
So far it has worked as the Cubs are 2-8 in close, late-inning games while both Milwaukee and St. Louis have substantial winning records in the same situation.
This startling strategy was most apparent last night when the Cubbies left fifteen men on base over 11 innings in a 5-4 loss - not getting any runners past the stalwartly defended plate after the fifth inning.
