i'm really not trying to be negative
because soto’s homer was nice, but wouldn’t it be sweet to get one of those homers with guys on? seriously, not getting negative though

I dont think thats negative
you cant win many games when your offense is inept with guys on. Sometime that is going to have to change.
I thought maybe some success over the weekend would loosen everyone up but we just cant get the job done. Lets hope that changes right here.

Tennis is to artillery and air strikes what football is to infantry and attrition. - David Foster Wallace
Soriano
took a good, long look at the first pitch he saw and decided that since it was way down on top of the plate he would just golf hack it up in the air to center field. Soriano should be under strict orders: watch the first two pitches. He can’t do any worse with that strategy.
Don’t mean to pile on the man, but honestly, that was a very unfocused moment for him at the plate. Bad.
