The way Sori has gutted out this game,
All the stuff about him being selfish needs to stop.
Of cousrse, they’ll just turn around and say he was selfish for not taking himself out, whereupon, if he had they’d say he was always hurt.
Methinks the reason these types hate Sori has little, if anything to do with baseball….but I digress.

au contrair
I admire Soriano’s offense and many times I appreciate his defense but there are too many times I think he thinks of himself first and his team second—tonight is just one example. He’s clearly gimped and he denies it. This is frustrating. It’s not a hate thing, it’s a ‘grow up’ thing.

Given a little warning
he is an excellent fielder everywhere he plays. He only looks bad on occasion when he gets switched in the middle of the game. Fielders should get warm ups like pitchers do when they have to change during a game.

He never looked comfortable in LF, for some reason,
but he plays RF pretty well, IMO.

In a game like this
we should be able to use the parts of the pen that rarely pitch, so we should be able to save the important parts of teh pen.
by californiachicagoan on May 23, 2008 7:53 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I think it would be nice to give the pen a rest
I’m not sure what the workload on each guy is but Wood is the only one i don’t remember pitching in a while. I do trust them to hold the lead tho.

2 innings ago, 7-8-9 would've been a save.

Maybe.
If we’re discussing what amount of dignity the Pirates can salvage. But, against Kerry… doubtful.

Does Wood honestly need to pitch in this situation?
Wuertz or Eyre couldn’t come up with one inning?
BTW, Game over.

I get FSN Pittsburgh over in Amishtown, PA
they’re calling this one of the worst games in the season.
(Don’t know their names)
A: “Worst game of the season you’d say?”
B: “Yeah, I’d say it.”
A: “It was pretty bad.”

Milwaukee is losing 5-1 against the Nats.
Cinci 0-0 in the first against the Padres, and St Louis haven’t started playing yet.

Another thing,
what kind of broke-ass bats do the Pirates have? Either Sanchez has vigorous practice swings to the point where they come undone, or their bats are made very half-assedly.

Is Soriano injured? I’m 56 and can outrun him…..has anyone heard?

They didn't show any
of Lou’s post game yet but the anchors just said it’s his left leg now and it might be from over compansating for his right leg.

Lou just said he talked
to Sori and Sori says it doesn’t bother him but it’s a confidence thing. Soriano is afraid to go all out. That is unreal.
