6/1 Rockies (Jiminez) @ Super Cubs (Gallagher) 1:20 WGN TV

I also believe he's a prima donna who refuses to play anything but leadoff and LF.

 

 

That's why when he was traded to Washington he agreed to switch from 2B to LF, no?

 

Good call, its the Cubs preventing him from playing that position, although he's Weeksian at 2B. I have heard he refuses to play CF now, though.

 

Based on what? All of his public comments (and comments about him from the organization) is that he'll play and hit wherever the team tells him to. I haven't heard any kind of source, leaked or otherwise, indicating anything else.

 

Then you haven't been paying close enough attention to wrigley23's posts.

 

No kidding. Soriano has his obvious flaws, but some people seem to love adding on things they've completely made up or assumed.

[Outshined_One]

I think the buzz Bob is referring to tends to die down roughly an hour after last call every night.

[Sammy Sofa]

Gally looking real good thus far.

What proof do we have that Soriano is in fact a prima dona? Since he's been on the Cubs all I have heard him say publicly is that whatever Lou chooses to do is fine with him. Man, the hatred for this guy is something else.

[Outshined_One]

That was interesting camerawork.

[UMFan83]

What great camera work WGN.

[bcruise]

Hey look, another broken bat.

[Sammy Sofa]

Did the cameraman have a stroke on that play?

[Guest]

Rammy has never looked better than he has this year.

2006?

 

What's 2006?

I will admit I barely watched any games that year but I do know Aramis had a great year.

 

Slightly lower slugging but a much higher OBP this year. He's at .419 coming into today and his previous career high was .373 in 2004. He also posted his career high OPS in 2004 with .951 and was at .943 coming into today's game.

[TMan92]

St. Louis could be down a lot more, but Ankiel pulled a play out of his arse. Can someone explain to this Cardinal team that they are not that good?

[CubsGM]

Nah, he is just autistic to broken bats

Milwaukee 4

Houston 1

St. Louis 0

 

Even though it's Milwaukee benefitting, it's good to see Houston coming back to earth.

[UMFan83]

As well as the Cubs are playing, I can't help but still be nervous about the Brewers and Reds. They may be far back right now, but those are the only 2 legitimate teams in the division (no offense St. Louis) and they are both starting to play real well.

[SABR Gamer]

Theriot's OBP now upwards of .402.

 

Is Ryan Theriot a good baseball player? Have people agreed yet? I don't really know what to think, I thought not, but he has been impressive so far.

[UMFan83]

Gallagher looks absolutely awesome today. Night and day from his first start.

The Brewers do not worry me at all. Cincy has numb nuts for a manager.

Jay Bruce scares the holy hell out of me.

 

Nice K!

[SABR Gamer]

Gallagher 4 K's through 2, whatta stud.

[Mizzou]

Sean Gallagher might have the worlds biggest nostrils.

And how many games have they gained this past week?

[SABR Gamer]

Rammy has never looked better than he has this year.

2006?

 

What's 2006?

I will admit I barely watched any games that year but I do know Aramis had a great year.

 

 

He has definitely been better in 2008 than 2006.

[Rob]

I am part of that Brigade.

 

That guy is a joke and a douchebag. I strongly dislike him in several ways. If he's gonna add regular blown routine OF plays to his repertoire of crap at the plate (well in 85% of his ABs), that would be wonderful.

 

I also believe he's a prima donna who refuses to play anything but leadoff and LF.

 

Welcome to my sig.

I think the Reds are still a year or two away. They are pretty good at home, and terrible on the road. Volquez has been amazing but he won't be that dominant all year. The league has caught up to Cueto a little bit too. Offensively they are very good, but after Volquez and Harang, the pitching is questionable.

[UMFan83]

This is the first time I've seen him throw and thought that he might be good enough for a spot in the rotation for the reason of the year.
