6/11 Braves (Bennett) @ Cubs (Dempster) 7:05 ESPN & WGN 720

Lou looks not pleased in the dugout. I can't imagine he's optimistic about Soriano. Neither am I.

 

I bet it's broken.

 

of course YOU do.

 

It's a fastball right off the hand that is clutching a bat. That most likely will result in a broken bone from what I've seen. Just being honest.

 

What exactly have you seen?

 

I have no idea how serious the injury may or may not be. Although Soriano going to the hospital to get x-rays doesn't sound good.

 

Getting an X-ray is a very common, not good or bad sign. Just X-ray it and see if there is anything there.

 

I don't remember many players getting taken immediately to the hospital during a game to X-Ray something that was no big deal

 

It would be uncommon for them not to take him to get an x-ray. That is a very common practice if a guy is taken out of a game.

[Ski]

I know it's a bit late, but...

 

Not blacked out in North Dakota :D

[Andy]

We won't miss a beat just like the Cardinals right?

I think the Cubs will be ok provided Derrek Lee continues hitting the ball as he did last night.

 

Ok, this is getting ridiculous. That's an 0-2 pitch too, and a fastball.

[CubsGM]

Are you kidding me?

[bcl412]

Ok. Now I am starting to get upset.

[inari]

Okay, I'm nervous about this guy. He's obviously not trying to hit us, but he's got no control and he's not almost drilled a second Cub.

Once he was taken out of the game he was going to be taken for x-rays regardless of what they felt in the clubhouse.

 

I would say it's more likely a break than just a bruise, but you can't read into anything they've done thus far.

what a bunch of crap..Bobby [expletive] is a scumbag.

[Ski]

Fukuwalk!

[Bruno7481]

I'm serious, drill whoever is up first for the Braves. We need to let teams know that we're not going to tolerate this crap. I don't care if it was intentional or not.

 

We're not going to tolerate accidents?

We're not going to tolerate Soriano getting drilled with a pitch near his face.

 

I understand the frustration, but...

 

Soriano is asking for that every AB. He is right on top of the plate, and leaning over it. That pitch wasn't really THAT far inside. That ball doesn't come within a foot of Ramirez if he was hitting.

 

That's kind of a funny comparisons as it seems like Ramirez gets hit on the hands (or at least comes close to it) at least once a week

 

I was just using Ramirez as an example because he was the one hitting at the time of the post. Point remains, Soriano is leaning over the plate in every AB.

[chuckywang]

Please just pull him now!

Not defending him, but that is a good 0-2 pitch to a guy who took yo deep last time. There wasn't an intent to hit him, just back him up a bit.

[inari]

what a bunch of crap..Bobby [expletive] is a scumbag.

 

For not having pitchers with better control than this guy?

 

Come on, people.

[Soul]

Okay, I'm nervous about this guy. He's obviously not trying to hit us, but he's got no control and he's not almost drilled a second Cub.

 

That time he was trying to back Fuku off so he could throw outside, which he tried on the next pitch.

 

Maybe not trying to hit him, but definitely attempting to move the hitter off with a pitch.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

We never score in this situation :)

[SABR Gamer]

Pujols to miss at least 3 weeks.

 

 

Yessssss

 

 

sry im a little late to respond, but this only means that they will go like 17-3 and Cesar Izturis will hit 6 homers in that span.

[VanceJergins]

I come home, see the Cubs up 5, all is good. Look at the box and Soriano was taken out of the game...crap.

[Andy]

Time for a Jimmyslam

[Mizzou]

Let's go Jimmy

[Ski]

I'd be more excited if it wasn't Edmonds.

[inari]

At least two more runs would be nice.

[Soul]

Cash in on this one, Cubs.

[splintersag]

Anybody know how many games now we've had the bases loaded at one point?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Edmonds looks like he wants to make something happen.

[Andy]

Nice going Jimmy! 7-0!
