I don't mean

to sound like I’m over-reacting however how the hell does a professional athlete get just running so many times? He must have really had his previous managers fooled. I don’t buy for a second that guy wants to give it his all. Soriano is playing hurt. Its time to put the big boy belt on and play or get the hell out.

The biggest problem is we’re stuck with this soccer player for another year.

Someone who didn’t want to play wouldn’t take such long at-bats and dive for catches like MB does.

Of course, I’m an admitted MB apologist, so take that for what it’s worth.

but if you “take a dive” and act like you were hit by a pitch when you really weren’t, you should have to serve some kind of a suspension. Stop being a sissy.

punish the ump not the player. He is the idiot who bought his acting. It’s not like he works in a profession where he rarely hears the sound of a ball hitting a piece of wood.

They don't care

All they care about is that it might get more people to tune into Baseball Tonight after the game.

I saw him Sunday night after the game

He cannot be taller than 5’5"

He shouldn't be at third...

I dunno.

I think he’s our best defensive replacement at third.

out on purpose because of the no no but now it’s gone.

5'6" at best

by CubsBullsBears on Jun 2, 2009 8:00 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah

That’s why the Quotes were there, cuz he is listed at 5’8" but we all know he is way shorter than that

by desmoCubbie on Jun 2, 2009 8:01 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

right

I think he might be closer to 5’4"

by LT on Jun 2, 2009 8:01 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I saw him with his family

at D’Agostino’s last year. It’s hard for me to judge, though, because I’m 6’4". Everyone looks short to me. That said, he’s not a tall man.

by redward on Jun 2, 2009 8:03 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I was within a few feet of him Sunday night

at the fence by the players parking lot. He came up to my chest and I am 6’3"… I would guess he is no taller than 5’5"

A no-hitter is great

But the win is what matters the most.
