If this were August or September I say let him play. Lets sit him down.

Now I want Edmonds gone as much as the next guy, but they are doing the same thing to him as they did to Pie. Nobody can hit without some ABs.

then I give all the credit in the world

I’m all for the CF platoon, just with the patience to know some guys cant just be plugged in and hit.

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.

tonight I have found the vented coors light cans are great for catching up after a double play….

Do you notice a difference

with the vented thing? I have bottles, haven’t tried the new cans yet

Derosa really does a good job in RF.

That was a sharp play.

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.

by californiachicagoan on May 23, 2008 7:42 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

He never looked comfortable in LF, for some reason,

but he plays RF pretty well, IMO.
