In a not so surprising turn of events, "Aaron Miles Day" was a colossal failure. The national debt grew a little larger, the Dow Jones lost some momentum and the Cubs lost to the Reds.
Seeing as it was "Aaron Miles Day," Miles got the start at shortstop in the series finale and he did not disappoint. The Cubs actually managed to downgrade themselves defensively at shortstop by giving Theriot the day off. Reread that last sentence and then tell me you don't want to stick needles in the eyes of your Jim Hendry voodoo doll. Miles had trouble with routine throws from short and went 0-3 at the plate while batting in the 2-hole.
Thankfully, Aaron Miles Day only happens once a year so there really isn't a reason to play him again. I hear the Cubs are looking for a roster spot on Friday so they can activate Soto, I know which spot I'd take.
