Well, the Cubs catcher...

Didn’t have a good day. 0-2 and one stolen base against.

Think of how stupid the average person is, and remember, half of them are stupider than that!

2 stolen bases

One was a HUGE jump off Sheets, one Utley was late covering second.

I would of liked to see a bit more from Dome/Soto.

But Big Z looked like a stud and we now only have 3 players left to worry about injuries.

I'm being sarcastic

I feel like every national telecast involving one of the three they try to compare them to each other.

I’m sick of hearing how Fukudome is an Ichiro-Matsui hybrid. He’s just not.

My apologies for the way I speak.

I obviously posted at the same time as your reply. I thought it was an odd thing to say originally.

I think they try to give the starters 2 AB.

When your team only has 3-4 AB an inning, they’ll go deeper I guess.

Dome interviewed right after his at bats


What he said roughly was;

- Great atmosphere, great players around
- Bad result, as I am not very good recently
- my first hit in ASG should be next year, want to try all my best to be selected again
- All of my effort in the rest of this year is dedicated to Cubs win.

not to mention that he is my least favorite player of all time.

i hate the yanks

but i dig jeter – he’s not overrated. he has like 2 or 3 batting titles, 2400+ hits, 4 rings, gold gloves, 9 all-star games…he’s going to be a hall of famer and deservedly so (oh yeah, .315 career BA)

haha maybe true

but he flipped the ball back to home to get jason giambi’s little brother out at home – which means he is a great defensive player ALLLLL the time lol

Now, Dome...

Take Soto with you and get stinking drunk in New York. Then go home and relax!

They are young and rich and in New York

Get drunk! Maybe that’s what they need to get out of their slump.

I wouldn't really say Soto's been in a slump.

Thanks to Dragonsfanatic for giving us the translation of Dome’s comments in his interview. Now, he has been slumping.
