As I said the other day, Soriano has always sucked and he always will suck.

 

As long as he sucks the ball out of the park, he can suck all he wants.

 

Well it was from the most sarcastic post I have ever written in my entire life, I actually like Soriano quite a lot.

 

Soriano is plain bad, people need to stop defending him. He has always been bad and always will be bad. I would much rather have Sam Fuld playing. Sam is a tough, hard working player who always gives 100% and came up through the Cubs organization, and has shown promise like Theriot and Fontenot, instead of this fake showing we are getting from Cedeno. Fuld is actually good, unlike guys like Soriano and Pie. Theres a reason Jim made him untouchable, you never heard him say Soriano was untouchable. The only explanation is that Fuld is plain better than Soriano. I really think that once we have Fontenot, Theriot, Johnson, and Fuld all in the lineup together the team chemistry will just click and we will be unstoppable. Hopefully Lou can see what I see, and does it asap.

 

 

 

Fuld

Theriot

Lee

Fukudome

Ramirez

Fontenot

Johnson

Soto

 

I mean, Ramirez isn't even hitting .275 and he's supposed to bat 4th? Fukudome is clearly a better #4 option than Ramirez, and I would be very tempted to move Fontenot ahead of him too, he's got a lot more pop than he gets credit for, and he did hit like .400 in his first month.

 

All the Cedeno, and Pie love on this board makes me sick, they are just plain awful, it's obvious, people are so blind if they can't see this.

 

And to the people who think that Theriot is a fluke because he's putting up better numbers than he has ever put up in the minors are just looking for reasons to bash the guy, I mean, come on, some guys just click when they turn 28 and don't have to face AAA pitchers anymore. Where do all of the top prospects play? AAA, not the MLB, they are called top prospects for a reason, it's because they are good. Theriot is the real deal, he's the best player we have produced in a long time, and don't start talking to me about Soto, he struck out 8 times in a row, The Riot would never do something like that. It's obvious that Geovany is just getting lucky and will start playing like the average player he really is any day now, I mean you can't try to make me believe that a guy who strikes out 8 straight times is anything but lucky to be playing like this. If I had to pick between Sammy Sosa and Ryan Theriot I would take Theriot in a second. Sammy was a cheater and never did anything good for Chicago. Hard work, grit, stolen bases, and team chemistry win ball games, not home runs.

 

I hope that this settles the discussion on whose good and who isn't because I am just right about everything, and the sooner you guys accept this, the sooner this team will click. If all the fans believe they are good, they will start playing well. When you have guys like Aramis Ramirez who can't take criticism on your team and all the fans are yelling at him, your going to lose, simple as that.

If Z pitches another inning after this I'll be pissed. Fox for 1, Wuertz for 1.

 

Unless they're trying to blow out Fox's arm once again, they won't pitch him after he threw 45 pitches yesterday. My guess is that he's unavailable until Wednesday or Thursday.

 

Eyre for 1, Wuertz for 1 sounds good though.

Time to stop scoring guys. Save some runs for the guy whose going to need them tommorow.

 

I know we're dealing with a lineup that makes the '06 Cubs look like the '27 Yankees, and a mediocre at best pitcher who hasnt pitched in the bigs in over a year, but this is also Jason Marquis we're talking about.

Ryan Theriot has looked really good today.

 

But that stupid slide into the hole needs to stop, it's like he decided he had to find something more annoying than how Jeter fields a ball in the hole.
