I was just watching Mike Francesa's show on New York TV. Talking about baseball he showed these numbers about Alfonso Soriano. The following are Soriano's post-season numbers since he hit that epic HR against Curt Schilling in the 2001 World Series:
116 at bats, .181 batting average, 2 Home Runs, 11 RBI, and the tell-all: 5 walks and 38 K.
38 strikeouts!
As Al says, discuss amongst yourselves. To me, that is a very telling number.

Multimedia feature about the Cubs post-season history.
Since both New York teams didn't make the playoffs, apparently the Big Apple media decided to adopt the Cubs as their team to watch. This is the 3rd feature about the Cubs in as many days in the New York Times. This one even has links to the paper's articles from the past.
Geovany Soto an admittedly big surprise to the Puerto Rican press.
Puerto Rican newspaper El Nuevo Día publishes an article today praising the work of Geovany Soto, probable Rookie of the Year in the NL. His performance and Carlos Delgado's were the bright spot among Puerto Ricans in the major leagues, according to the article's author, Carlos Rosa.
At last, Soto's hometown press are starting to notice him.

Almost a week after Ike, the Astros are still whining.

I can't believe the lack of leadership in the Astros' clubhouse. Instead of making the players focus and play, Manager Cecil Cooper is allowing them to play with a t-shirt under their uniforms that reads: "Bud killed us."
You would have thought that almost a week after Hurricane Ike struck the Houston area, the Astros would have regained their composure and started playing baseball. Yet, they're still lifeless and sulking.
A good manager would have stopped the nonsense and would have forced the team to focus on the playoffs days ago. But I guess Cecil Cooper is bitter himself and is whining along with his players.
It doesn't matter to the Astros owner that by instigating all this whining he buried his team. The only thing that matters to him now is to deflect any blame from himself. And if you listen to the national media, Drayton McLane appears to have succeeded in his effort.
So, I ask the media: Isn't a week long enough to whine about this? Move on, please!
