Wow. I realize there are reasons for this (injuries, bereavement leave), but the lineup Gardy is trotting out there tonight is causing me to have some really nasty 2007-style flashbacks with visions of lineups that included names like Lew Ford, Jason Tyner, Rondell White, and Jeff Cirillo. I really had hoped those days were gone. Ah well… cross your fingers and hope!
