Re: 7/23 Cobs (Lilly) vs. D-Backs (Davis) 8:40 pm CT CSN

Ugh.

[17 Seconds]

D Lee trying to give his run back.

[CubsBears29]

Yep! That's my Cobs!!!

 

Had to make up for not hitting into the inning-ending DP last inning, I guess, eh Derrek??

it was posted because it was relevant. This team has struggled mightily to score runs & after an extremely short rehab assign, he whiffs by flailing in his first at bat. This is a game thread & he had just whiffed so I figured it was relevant. I love the Cubs, but I hate Soriano. Sorry. The Cubs will be around long after he is whiffing in a slowpitch softball game somewhere in a few yrs.

[weatherdood]

WTG TRL!

[haubrich91]

I love the hook!

[17 Seconds]

I hate listening to other teams' announcers. I know they are just doing their job and being homers, but it still irritates me. Yes, Jackson hit a solid single, we get it. But it was a hanging slider, that's what profession hitters do. It was nothing special really.

 

Oh god, Darron Sutton is such a nightmare.

He ran the count full, fouled off two pitches straight back, and swung and missed at one pitch. All in all, I would hardly call that a bad AB, despite the result.

[weis21]

It wasn't even really D Lee's fault. Dero was late getting to the bag.

 

By the way, does that SB go against Soto?

It was, what, a 6 pitch AB?

 

Give me a freaking break, man.

If you love the Cubs, how about talking about any of the other players on the team without tracing it back to Soriano?

you're entitled to your opinion, but understand this: soriano was huge part of the team's first half success.

 

i have no idea why you'd "hate" him. seems like a strong term for a player that's been very valuable to the team.

If that ain't the understatement of the year... its almost gotten so bad lately, that Len and Bob (& Pat and Ron) are about the only announcers I can halfway stand anymore. The NESN guys aren't so bad.

Granted, I know I just did the same thing, but there's really no point in attempting to reason with this troll.

If you're watching on EI, both the DBacks and the Cubs broadcasts are available tonight. They were last night as well.

More bad luck... :roll:

How many web gems have we seen from Arizona in this series? closer to 10? Ridiculous.

No hitter broken up by Brendan Ryan with a 2 out single in the bottom of the 6th

And he'll be counting his millions and watching highlight reels of his likely 400-500+ HRs and crafting his hall of fame speech while you are playing dungeons and dragons in your mom's basement.

Nobody dislikes you because you hate Soriano. We dislike you becuase that's the ONLY thing you ever post about, and you constantly do it in threads that aren't about him. Give it a rest. We get it.

Nah, EI not carried here by Suddenlink (cable). Cable is included in my rent, so I find it hard to covert to a dish just yet. MLB.tv for me, I'm fairly happy with the service.

[CubsBears29]

Man would a DeRoBOMB look nice here..... (or at least just make 1 out, and not end the inning, Mark!!)

[wrigley23]

troll? so you can call people names on here, but can't post about Cub players. Is this a message board or http://www.soriano.com?
