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.

I have to disagree
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.

Call me crazy
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.

I would say
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.

Not that I condone fascism, or any -ism for that matter.
-Ism’s in my opinion are not good. A person should not believe in an -ism, he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon, “I don’t believe in Beatles, I just believe in me.” Good point there. After all, he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. I’d still have to bum rides off people.
