Re: 04/16 Houston (Paulino) @ CUBS (Silva) 1:20 CDT, CSN

[Old Style]

what does soriano have to do to not get booed?

Earn his paycheck?

 

Sure, but it's beyond moronic to single him out when he strikes out when nobody else on the team has a [expletive] hit.

Because the fans are booing him based off that one at bat?

 

They're booing him every time he makes an out regardless of what else he's done in the game or what anyone else has done. It's stupid.

What else has he done?

[Sammy Sofa]

Nice triple for Hill!

[TruffleShuffle]

wtf?!?!?

[Old Style]

Nice triple for Hill!

Did the outfielders fall down?

[A-Cal]

Carlos Silva brings the bat.

[Cubswin11]

Soto's not going to start for a week

[A-Cal]

Holy [expletive]. I didn't see that coming!

[Careless]

Carlos Silva has been our best player this season?

[Careless]

Nice triple for Hill!

Did the outfielders fall down?

No, although the throws weren't great and he was almost out

[RedFlash]

Haha....Carlos Silva with the RBI double.

[nick23]

Carlos Silva has been our best player this season?

I'm Ron Burgundy?

[Sammy Sofa]

Old Style, are you arguing that booing him every time he makes an out or someone has a hit to LF regardless of the circumstances is a good thing? What is the point of booing him today when he hasn't done anything even remotely boo-worthy?

[Old Style]

Haha....Carlos Silva with the RBI double.

:yahoo:

[TruffleShuffle]

koyie hill triple followed by carlos sliva double would not have been my predicted outcome for their ABs.

[soapy]

Hill and Silva, hahaha...wtf.

 

I love it.

[Andy]

I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say that that's the only time this year that our catcher will triple and our pitcher will double in back to back ABs.

No, I don't think he should be booed as much as he is, but I certainly understand why it happens. If you can't figure that out, I think there must be something wrong with you.

[Sammy Sofa]

Wow, nice catch by Pence.

[Careless]

If Silva has another scoreless inning, his ERA will be lower than his OPS. Even one out will do it, I think Edited April 16, 2010 by Careless

[hardcorecubfan]

Nice catch

[Prizefight]

Really nice to score a run without a home run. Even though it was by our back up catcher and 5th starter. :-))

[A-Cal]

Pence is going to destroy Cub dreams today, I can feel it.

Wait, what? Of course everyone knows why it's happening. The point is that it's stupid to get on a guy every single game when he hasn't even done anything remotely "bad" in that game. It's not "understandable;" it's stupid scapegoating that makes the fans look dumb. Even the best players are going to make outs, so getting on a guy for simply making the 3rd out in the 2nd inning of a 0-0 game when nobody else had gotten a hit to that point is ridiculous.

[rawaction]

If only bad hitters continue to get hits in this game, the Cubs are going to lose in a shootout.

What's stupid is continuing to whine about it on here. It's going to be happening as long as Soriano is on this team.
