Line drive to Soriano
Weeks was already running, went past second base when soriano caught it, went “oh shit!” and started jogging back to first with the foregone conclusion that he was going to get thrown out.
But DLee dropped the throw from soriano and BARELY recovered it in time to tag a diving weeks out.

Counsell hit a line drive to left.
It hung up Soriano caught it, Weeks didn’t look at the play, then tried to jog back to first. Fonzie fired it to Lee and doubled him up.

Line drive to the right of Soriano as Weeks was running on a 3-2 count
Soriano caught and quickly threw a bullet one hop towards 1B (Weeks had to retouch 2B and try to get back) the throw took DLee off the bag and he had to block it, ball on the ground and he grabs it falling down and touches 1B before Weeks makes it back

judging fukudome on half a year seems a tad harsh
in the last 2 weeks, he had begun to swing the bat better, plus his outfield defense is definitely better than floyd or jones or burnitz or whomever the cubs have run out there in the last 4 years.
