I don't condone the booing, but I understand it at times. Soriano may work extremely hard in BP, but the fans don't get to see that. They see him watch a ball from home plate like he hit hit 500 feet only to have it hit the wall and get a long single instead of an easy double. They watch him screw up routine plays in the OF over and over. And they don't see much emotion out of him. If it's one thing I learned over my many years, Chicagoans love firey people. I know Lovie lost when he got to the Super Bowl, but even if he won that game do you think he'd be as beloved as Mike Ditka? Maybe some will play that off as racism, but I think it's the fact that Ditka wore his emotions on his sleeve. There's no doubt that Marlon Byrd is going to hit a slump. I'm also convinced that when he does that he will not get booed because of the way he plays. He goes 100 mph at all times. Todd Hundley was perceived to be lazy (whether right or wrong) and he was booed unmercifully when he sucked as a Cub. Last time I checked, he was still white. Does Zambrano ever get booed? Not that I recall. The fans love him. Why?
