Sori should be batting around 6th or 7th.

[vj9999]

Sori should be batting around 6th or 7th.

 

Or just pinch hitting.

[OleMissCub]

Breaknig news: Soriano is frickin worthless right now.

night guys...I've got a presentation tomorrow...no need to stay up and ruin that to watch this...

[chuckywang]

Who was saying the K record for a playoff series wouldn't be set in a short series? Just curious.

 

That would be me.

[Guest]

i might poop my pants if soriano hits a 3 run homer here

 

I would too, seeing as he had 1 baserunner on.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Wood in to pitch for the CUBS

[ElectricJ]

Well, all RBIs in the series have been by the youngsters & a bench player.

 

Kerry Wood siting...

[chuckywang]

Eric Byrnes looking completely overmatched.

[SaorsaDaonnan]

that right, mofos.

 

 

Kerry Wood is pitching in the playoffs.

 

 

 

so how many of you stuck a fork in him over the last couple years?

[CubsBears29]

The worst thing... the Cubs have set apathy upon me.

 

I just don't care. After losing like we did last night, and this crap tonight... I. Just. Don't. Care.

 

 

Its either that or be "I'm gonna kill someone!!" mad. Apathy is much easier on my heart and soul, not to mention criminal record.

[CDBears1259]

$130M for this, but Carlos Beltran and Vlad were too expensive. Good job Hendry.

Boy that stings. Moreso for the Vlad part.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Byrnes struck out swinging

[Guest]

It's awesome seeing Kerry bringing it at 97.

[nilodnayr]

diamondbacks leadoff hitter had reached every inning until now...that stat says it all.

[DivineBovine]

On a bright note, Kerry is looking good as of late. He could be a nice closer next year.

[GhostRunner]

Soriano post-season (OBP/SLG/AVG):

 

2001     New York Yankees .333 .379 .276 
2002     New York Yankees .211 .353 .118 
2003     New York Yankees .267 .296 .225 

[DivineBovine]

His stuff is getting better.

[OleMissCub]

Ya, if he lets that goatee keep growing, he'd be seriously intimidating.

[ElectricJ]

that right, mofos.

I can't imagine anyone thought he'd make it back this year. He didn't believe he could do it himself just two weeks before he came back.

And right now, this is the highlight of my playoffs.

I hope Hendry brings him back for another incentive-laden deal and he stays healthy all year in the back of the pen. Trade Dempster and I'd enjoy seeing Howry-Marmol-Wood in the back end of the pen.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jackson flied out to right field

[AFCubsFan]

The announcers are depressing. I can't help but imagine what Kerry's career would have been like without the injuries.

CDB wholeheartedly agrees.
