I can see both positives and negatives to playing on Thursday,

Guzzy's hitting under .200 with September [arriving] on Thursday, ... Vidro's playing on sore quads and is going to have to play hurt the rest of the year. We're not scoring any runs. . . . We need some choices. I need to give Frank some choices. Between trading for him and our call-ups on Thursday, he's going to have some choices, and he's going to have some fresh legs and bodies that may spark the guys they have now, or maybe he gets in and sparks the team that way.

She would've been huge (Thursday) night. We had our top go-to player go down and we're still playing for fourth and seventh. That just shows we're deeper than a lot of teams.

It was hard coming in here after just playing on Thursday. We played hard but we got a little tired in the second half. I'm happy with our effort, but not too happy with the outcome.

His positives outweigh negatives (in different groups surveyed) by multiples of two, three, four, even five to one.

Thursday is perhaps the worst day of the week. It's nothing in itself; it just reminds you that the week has been going on too long.
