Soriano having a day today, isn't he?
<<<< SIGH >>>>>
Any takers that he K’s in the bottom?
Can Marmol speak English?
I noticed that Ramirez and Soto came up to the mound when Piniella came out of the dugout. It never really looked like Marmol was talking to Piniella.
I know he’s been quoted in English, but I’ve never heard him talk

Are you serious?
That’s really cool
"I think Hendry still has a few years to serve on his 'grand larceny' sentence before he can shop in Pittsburgh again" - ballhawk
yep ... there was a story earlier
about Soriano helping out on the field by translating Japanese (Dome) into Spanish (can’t remember who).
Well it was more like
Me just sitting there w/ googly eyes going, “Umm umm so you play for the Cubs huh?”
Go All In and Enjoy The Ride.
He was shopping by himself
And I saw him in a shoe store. He could tell I knew who he was so he said Hi, I said Hi, I told him he was great. And we parted ways, never to see each other again…..Anyways, The best part of the story is that he walked right past the Cubs store they have there.
Go All In and Enjoy The Ride.

Trolls
Last Sunday’s NYT Magazine had a long article on trolls. Out of curiosity I went to the featured troll’s web site … he’s like a mega troll. He had advice on what to do with trolls and he said rule #1 was IGNORE THEM because just as we expect, they thrive only on attention and will go away when ignored.
So… if want our trolls to wither away. Flag and ignore.
wholeheartedly agree

I disagree, azn. Blue’s been calling that same pitch for both sides. I will admit, though, that it’s definitely a crappy pitch, but at least he’s calling fair.

It’s definitely a crappy pitch to call a K. No doubt. But you can’t get too upset cause it’s not totally unfair.

Anyone else annoyed by the telecast today?
The unnecessary cuts to different cameras and close ups so tight you don’t know where the ball is has made it difficult to watch.
