Soriano is on fire

[PrimeTime]

Fonzie!

[Andy]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA SORIANO!!!!!

[Guest]

SORIANO!!! ANOTHER LEADOFF HOMER!!

[Keener98]

Soriano Hr Im calling it

Damn you are a smart SOB

[Jake]

Ouch.

[inari]

When he's hot, there is no one more fun to watch than Soriano.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Alfonso Soriano should be intentionally walked the first at-bat of every game.

[genbar]

GTFO Soriano. Bob telling it how it is.

[ctcf]

Damn. That was quite a shot.

[EhDubya]

I think you guys are selling DeRosa short wanting him to go to the bench.

 

Who is selling DeRosa short? Just because there is a better option for more at bats does not mean the alternative is being sold short.

 

A lot of people envisioned Murton as our starting LF for many years, but when Soriano was signed, they were happy to upgrade. That did not mean that they felt that Murton was automatically a bad player, just that there was a better option.

 

Besides, ARam, DLee, Sori, and Fuku all needs days off. DeRo is perfect for that role, no?

 

Derosa said himself that he expects to be starting everyday (his WCSR morning interview earlier this week). He didn't understand why Lou benched him the last time.

 

Cool. That really had nothing to do with what we were talking about though.

Did you hear what Bob said about a pitcher having to be either stupid or stubborn to throw Soriano a first pitch fastball?

Weren't you talking about if DeRosa should be benched or not? I'm just saying DeRosa said himself he didn't want to be benched.

370 feet seems a bit long compared to the way WGN usually measures home runs.

[Jake]

Seriously what happened to McClotuh, Jake? Some kind of lab experiment?

Dave Littelfield was fired.

I get the average, but firing Littlefield allowed him to hit homers at a Derrek Lee pace?

Firing Littelfield let him play, which led to the HRs..

 

Seriously? I expected about 20 - 25 from him this year. Not 40.

 

No idea.

Really, did he show signs of hitting 25 a year while playing in the minors? I just remember knowing he always put up good minor league avg. and secondary avg. numbers, but never remember hearing or reading he would devleop into Grady Sizemore. Now with McCutheon on the way you guys have a nice problem to have.

 

Yeah, he did. I don't remember the specifics. But, I remember reading stuff like that.

[ctcf]

Not a good start for Gorz... :yahoo:

[Careless]

theriot should have been nailed there

 

The ball almost hit Theriot when he was still 9 feet from the bag

Looks like the Pirates are remembering they're the Pirates.

[Guest]

LOL at Paulino's throw.

[imb]

lol that throw was closer to first base than it was to second

[Andy]

Paulino shows off his arm there.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

SB Theriot, who hasn't been caught in awhile, and goes to third on a bad throw.

 

I feel bad playing the Pirates.

[Sammy Sofa]

Damn, Lee just got under that one.

 

Incredible...I don't WANT Theriot to do bad, and thankfully he's now on 3rd, but he's likely out if that throw is on.

[erik316wttn]

theriot should have been nailed there

 

Edmonds can take care of that later.

 

*rimshot*

[ctcf]

Nice... Bring him home Aramis
