Jones scoring is frustrating because you saw one thing that happens every so often (Soriano [expletive] up the play) yet the average Cubs fan will act like happens almost every game, followed up by something all the damn time (Theriot having the arm strength of a dying child) that the average Cubs fan acts like doesn't exist.

exactly. Which is why I hate "average" sports fans.

 

I'm actually envious of the average fan. Everytime the Cubs lose my day is ruined, whenever UK loses in b-ball my week is ruined. Even though i realize if the cubs lose 62 games it was the best season I have ever witnessed i still live and die on every win and loss. Sometimes I wish i was just an "average" fan.

Hendry paid $24 for Milton Bradley's production last year. At least the contract wasn't as long as the Wells or Rios contract.

I don't consider myself an "average" fan by any means. But my days of living and dying with each win/loss are over.

In watching the play over, it looks as if Theriot didn't have much of a handle on the ball and mishandled the exchange. While I am not going to argue that Theriot has a rocket arm, it isn't as bad as it looked there. The Theriot snark is getting unsufferable, and I don't care too much about him one way or the other.

 

Also, its clear to any fan, average or not, that Soriano is awful out there.

You have had quite a few ruined days depending on how long you have been a fan.

 

Its just a game.

No, he's not. Yes, when he screws up it's usually spectacular, but in all he's a plus defender and a defensive asset.

I didn't see a replay; did the runner sliding back into 2nd turn Blanco's ankle or just kinda jam his foot?

Looks like his back foot (behind the bag, he just put his leg back there for stability) just got rolled as he knelt down to make the tag.

When he was crouching to make the tag, he rolled backwards after the play and put his ankle in a weird position.
