why Hoffpauer
instead of Fox. Probably a little upgrade defensively, but Fox has been hitting so well you would think Lou would try to get him as many at bats as possible.

he HAS done the PC thing and always SAID he would bat wherever publicly...
but i think he was promised the #1 spot and was holding lou to that…
plus it’s difficult to compare 1000s of ABs at #1 spot compared to a couple hundred in other spots, but yes he has struggled elsewhere in the order
there's no evidence
that he was promised the #1 spot. If you have any, show it.

sometimes its necessary
its not fun to hear it, because Soriano is by all accounts a good guy, but i think he needs to hear it.

needs to hear it. He’s been hearing it for the last couple of weeks. Has anything changed because of the booing? NO.
What a complete joke of a hitter!!
He can’t touch a breakin ball!
"He can't hit, he can't field, he can't run—all he can do is beat you."
But, he's supposed to be our best player!
There is no bright side.

if his legs are the problem then he should be DLed.........
but I haven’t heard anyone in the Cubs organization even hint that he is injured……..So where is your logic? You just keep making excuses for his 4 – 6 week slump

Quit making excuses for Soriano
He’s not doing jack and is in month two of a slump. If he’s hurt, then put him on the DL, but right now he is worthless!

I’m not making excuses. Hoffpauir didn’t tag up when Fonty hit his long fly out. Blame him too. Blame Lee, who is 0-2. Blame Dome, who is 0-2.
