Dome's gotta come through in those spots!
"He can't hit, he can't field, he can't run—all he can do is beat you."
expecting him to do anything other that what he did is folly.
It’s no longer May, and therefore he can no longer hit

what's so classic
is that the guys who hit in GIDP with RISP are not guys that hit into a lot of double plays. Its like russian roulette. Either way, the offense just seems to have lost all life today. I’m not pinning it all on Soriano – with guys like Fontenot and Dome in the lineup you’ve got real problems.
Kendall
gains first with Riots bobble of the ball, and a throw that pulls Lee off the bag.
1 on, 1 out.

What was so wrong about that?
Just saying. The dude jumps on me EVERY time I say the word “shit”. I’m suggesting him to focus less on me and more on his wife and kid. He’s here 24/7. Family life must be lacking.
I know
there has been like 15 swear words, in the entire thing. Its just that guy, and there is one in very chat or blog, that thinks he is the blog police. He jumps on me too for making an opinion on what the Cubs need to do on their current hmestand, and that I think Z will retaliate. Its a joke. But it makes him feel important
He's got 35,000 posts here...
in 15 months. Clearly he spends all day, everyday, on here. As such, he for some twisted reason thinks he can take ownership of the place and tell people what to post. Bizarre.

So what if it was aimed at a player!
Are you related to anyone on the team that we’re not aware of? I don’t know why this bothers you so much and quite frankly I don’t understand why we’re still having this conversation because quite frankly it is a complete non-issue that was blown out of proportion.

God.
Have you ever actually left your house and attended a baseball game? Do you start looking for security anytime you hear a cuss word at Wrigley?
You’re probably just a load of fun to watch a game with. I suppose that’s probably why you’re posting in these threads EVERY SINGLE GAME though.
I've been to plenty of ball games
and even if I hadn’t, that would be utterly irrelevant. Your attempts to apply some kind of judgment because I have the opportunity to follow my team the way I wish is irrelevant.
You are violating the rules of this private forum, which you have been repeatedly asked to not do.

the difference between bradley and soriano
is that bradley still has a lot of quality at bats. Soriano is a joke. Yay, at some point he will hit a solo home run when it doesn’t matter and everyone will cheer him and forget the 100 other at bats he’s failed miserably
I wouldnt go that far
Keep in mind this team was 2 games below 500 last year without him. However, this year he is playing with a knee injury and clearly he needs REST!
i think it was exactly 500 but could be wrong.

I think its Soriano begging Lou to play him OR
It could be Lou is desperate to get win some ball games and thats why hes playing Soriano with his injury.
But I am quite sure that knee injury is really effecting his hitting. His swing and timing has been off and it would wise for Lou to rest him till ARAM comes back.

what would you like our reaction to be when Soriano pops up with a man on third? Aw shucks, maybe next time. No one is really cursing, but i think frustration for a team ranked near the bottom is most key offensive categories is warranted.
To your point, aw shucks Bradley, too bad about that GIDP. Same players keep failing OVER and OVER and OVER again.

This kind of baseball in a crucial game is very frustrating. And there is nothing we can do about it because the powers that be wont make a change.
technically they did change
they changed BACK to the lineup that has struggled with an ice cold leadoff hitter continuing to press

too much of a good thing i guess
I really dont mind Soriano playing. I even dont mind Fuld sitting, although id have him play. I mind Soriano batting first.
I actually agree with you. Sadly there are two other starting outfielders who are struggling
and Fuld has a hot hand. I wouldn’t have minded seeing Soriano, if Fuld had been in the lineup too, and Fuld had better leadoff

At what point can we talk about sending him down again?
He had a great month to start the year, but I don’t see anything that would warrant him keeping a roster spot over a player like Fox or Blanco anymore.

Say what you will about Z today
but he did not have his best stuff, and still only gave up the 1.
Too bad we couldn’t help him out with some offense
