6/3 Braves (Cormier) vs. COBS (Marshall), 1:20, WGN-TV/Radio

Just got here, what happened to Lou?

 

Fat Froeming got him suspended.

 

c'mon, be serious. Kicking dirt on an umpire got him suspended

 

He was suspended because they claimed he actually kicked the umpire.

 

He likely would have been suspended anyway for kicking the dirt on the umpire and going on like he did. It just wouldn't have been indefinitely. Lou brought part of this on himself.

[Careless]

Hey, that was a solid swing from Jones

[mspcanes1]

that could've been an in the park hr if soriano wasn't lollygagging to first

 

no

 

yes...he jogged all the way to 1st base and slid for no reason into third. if he hustled out of the box it would've been very very interesting at home plate with a cutoff.

 

He could have been very easily out. I have no problem with him playing it safe with a triple with 0 out.

 

If it were infrequent, it wouldn't be a big deal. Not running is becoming an everyday thing with Soriano.

 

THis seems alot like alot like the Aram bashing of last year. Despite my sn I'm not trying to sound like a Soriano apoligists. I believe he deserves every bit of criticism for his bad power #'s. I just think the "hustling" thing is very "Levine" like.

 

funny thing though is aram is hustling this year. soriano is here because of his speed and power. tough to use your speed when you're jogging on every ball hit in the outfield.

[rickrolled]

Soriano hit a triple with no outs and people find a way to complain about it. :roll:

 

his lack of effort will hirt us. he did the same thing on his homer. it was two feet into the basket and he was jogging like it was on sheffield. it's little things that become bad habits. we're gonna be in an important game and he's gonna think he homered and be jogging and end up getting thrown out at second. it's the first thing you're taught as a kid...hustle out of the box.

 

i wouldn't worry about it, the cubs won't be playing in an important game any time soon

No. It was for suposedly making contact

 

which was unnecessary since the ump got the call right.

 

Was it childish, probably. It still doesn't change the fact that Froeming is a idiot who is making crap up.

And as I explained above, Soriano is being payed partly because he is FAST. They aren't paying Aramis to run.

 

Part of the silliness over Aramis' purported lack of hustle was that the difference 99% of the time was his being thrown out by 3 feet or by 5 feet. Soriano's speed, on the other hand, is the difference between him being safe/out and determines which base he ends up on.

 

BTW, Aramis has hustled every game I've seen so far. I can think of 10 occasions off the top of my head where I've wondered why Soriano was giving up on plays before he left the batters box.

It's only "indefinitely" because they haven't sat down and met to figure out a timeframe yet. That'll happen tomorrow.

i would argue that this next series in milwaukee is as important a series as we've had all year. we could make three games up just like that

[RichHillIsABeast]

DeRo tacks another on the board.

[A New Era]

What Lou did was entirely necessary.

[PrimeTime]

Where the hell was this baseball all year?? Timely hits,sacrifice flies,executing?? I hate getting all excited when they do it,because then the next day theyre back to their same old ways

[Careless]

We've had some real exploding bats recently.

Agree on Aram. I don't have the quote of hand but IIRC he sad something in ST like.."People think I don't hustle, but in reality, I'm just slow" Good enough for me.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

You mean a sleeping giant hasn't woke up?

 

Darn, I hate being brought back down to reality.

[Soriano12]

I suggest everyone DVR this game. The Cubs are using thier weekly quota of runs today.

[Butterscup1679666578]

oh jim.

[Soriano12]

hahha Hendry BS...this will be good..

i haven't looked at the video again since the game, but I thought at one point that he DID kick the umpire

they are the epitome of "feast or famine"

[Soriano12]

"Alot of good arms in the Pen" lol...you are high Jim.

[illiniguy]

hahha Hendry BS...this will be good..

He doesn't understand why our team doesn't score a lot of runs. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

[OleMissCub]

But but....Theriot has no range!!!!

No way

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Jim watches BBTN and actually listens to Kruk. :lol:

[Soriano12]

I still can't believe Hendry said there are alot of good arms in the pen.

 

 

Sheesh.. :twisted:
