ugh. i thought he got back.

[E.J.]

Nice work Soriano.

[illiniguy]

He was safe.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Soriano picked off second, 2-6

[CubsGM]

Dat's BS

[BigSlick]

Soriano, ugh

[killthegoat06]

The one thing I'm really confused about: How do you lose confidence running? They keep saying that about Soriano, but that makes no sense. Just sprint...where does the confidence come in?

[Garage Party]

That was crap. THAT'S where you need replay if you need it, not home run calls.

[Outshined_One]

He was safe, but that play was waaaaaaaaaay too close.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Theriot grounded out to short, 6-3

[BCVM22]

A fine week for major league umpires.

It was an extremely close play. That said, Soriano is an idiot for making it that close. There is no reason for that.

Because you're afraid of pulling something. Soriano doesn't seem like a very mentally strong player.

[E.J.]

Ugh. Come on Woody.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Kerry Wood time!

[Little Slide Rooter]

Just make it quick and painless Woody.

confidence in his legs to not rip themselves to shreds if he goes 100%

[splintersag]

Geez, we should've got some insurance runs there.

 

Hopefully we get good Kerry today.
