What does this even mean? The "expectations" for Soto right now are generaly somewhere around "please don't be awful." Pretty sure he's talking about the manlove for Soto from last year. Where people would quote Geo 10 times. Fickle fans, very fickle. I can't wait to see these guys after Kosuke goes in a slump. Read the game threads, KF is a monster, once he goes 2-20, he'lll be a bum, and Fox should play RF, with Bradley beeing sccotted over. And yet again, people have reason to be critical or wary of Soto so far this year. This about as slumpy as a slump can get, if it's even that. He's had the weight struggles, the issues with his hand when batting and now the shoulder troubles. Offensively he might as well not even be in the lineup and now also defensively he's playing below adequate levels. Most here clearly did not expect Soto to repeat last year, but this is waaaaaaaay below expectations. It has little to do with being "fickle."

Wait what? I'm not watching the game, why is Lilly's name being brought up in this thread? Lilly caught a gigantic moth and put it on Perry's hat without Perry noticing and it stayed there through the commercial break. -
Holy [expletive], Flash Gordon.
-
Moth = player of the game.
-
Nicely done, Lilly. That thing is a monster.

There's no such thing as a "small fries" at Five Guys. It's either large or a regular, and a regular order is still half the bag filled with fries. Prices must have gone up. I could get that same meal for about $6 back in State College I think it varies depending on the location.

I support this in a roundabout way in that I think a DL stint might be good for Soto. He's already had the hsoulder issue, plus it's looked like at times again this year like his hand is aggravating him again on certain swings and it looks like he's put weight back on. If he can play through it, great. If not, it seems like there's a few things that need to be checked out or dealt with.

It is bad in some areas we are seeing. Our bench is pretty bad, our depth is pretty bad, the backend of our bullpen is pretty bad. As optimistic as we're all trying to be, I don't think we will see these trends reverse themselves unless we make changes. Oh, definitely, hence my [expletive] the bed comment since pretty much all of those flaws are the result of Hendry's actions or inactions in the off season. It's worrying because at this time last year we were trying to figure out IF the Cubs had a flaw. I really feel like this team is losing confidence by the game. They really need to snap out of this funk in a hurry. Hopefully in a month we will all be laughing about this period. Tons of teams have had starts like this and it ended up much better. I'm not too worried about something like a "funk" since I think that's something you can get over pretty easily when your 3 main hitters are back in there producing. They're also going to cut down on these errors and misplays we're seeing that are screwing up the pitchers. I'd rather Hendry takes a practical approach to the actual needs of the bench and the bullpen as quickly as possible. Any "funk" will likely take care of itself if he attempts to do that.

Forget Bradley, I'm starting to want Soto on the DL for his own good.

Completely unacceptable. I in no way think this team is this bad but Hendry really [expletive] the bed with this off season.
-
The Cubs' middle infield is abolutely wretched defensively regardless of who gets the start.
-
Hendry needs to find someone who can play 3rd ASAP.
-
There's the sophomore slump and then there's Geo to this point in the 2009 season. A sophomore slumping Soto would be great right about now.
-
What the hell, man. They're actually driving shots off Haren. Please stop hitting them AT guys.
-
Hah! That kid rules.
-
Don't [expletive] with Kosuke.

Excellent burgers, and they're truly giganic, but it's VERY expensive.
-
Cubs win 5-3.
-
Lee was working his shoulder when he got in to 2nd like it was bugging him.
-
Cubs win, 6-4.
-
Well, yeah. It's not like we're talking restaurant-quality burgers with this list. That's a whole other thing.

How would the SB be taken away from football fans? Almost all of them can only see it on TV in the first place.
