He's been just fine. he's been more than fine.

lol at you guys doubting wood.

i like this guy...

wow wow wow do i wish marmol was a starter.

yeah, martinez is right up there. delmon young's been disappointing, but he wasn't coming off a 50 hr season like fielder. verlander's been pretty awful too.

Soto will have a 3 day rest considering the Cubs have a day off after the all star break. The 4th day, he'll squat for 4 innings and get 2 ABs. I don't see what the big deal is. What he said. I'd hate for Soto to lose out on something that I'm sure would be an absolute thrill for him because his own fanbase was voting against him. seriously. that's stupid. he'll catch three innings max...i don't think that's going to push him over the edge.

the devry shuttle is roughly 8 billion times more convenient than parking. used it for game 3 last fall, and while it was crowded, it sure beat parking.

oh, i bet randy was pissed.

Awesome post. You're a credit to this community. Seriously, if you won't even try to come up with anything remotely insightful to say why can't you just stay out of the thread? Way too many of your posts are nothing but empty insults, and many of the others are just plain stupid. People here, including myself, show a hell of a lot more civility towards you than you display to others. Other people have disagreed respectfully and supported their arguments, but not you. Just leave the thread if you can't add anything. Better yet, just leave. sorry, but it's hard to take your pleas for insightful posts seriously when you continue to propose this ridiculous idea. i could sit on the keyboard and come up with something more insightful than trading lee, one of the team's most productive and popular players, so that soriano can move to a position he's never played before, hurting the team both at 1b and lf...all because soriano lost a ball in the sun and had one bad defensive game in st. louis. i mean, you're basically proposing trading one of the cubs best players to improve the leftfield defense. that's insanity. you're saying that the defensive production the cubs get out of leftfield is more important than the offensive production lee provides. it's leftfield. leftfield. do you realize how far down "leftfield defense" is on the list of things a baseball team needs? and then do you realize how nice it is to have a gold glove, .900 OPS 1b? the reason i haven't put the effort into making any "insightful" posts on this matter is because you're idea is so stupid it doesn't deserve insightful responses (plus, for a while there i was sure you were joking...that's how terrible this idea is). if someone came on here trying to tell me the earth was flat, i wouldn't put much effort into refuting that either.

Are you kidding me? Then what the hell happened? He was there, under it...do you honestly think he just had a mental collapse and couldn't handle it? It was obviously lost in the sun. oh my. Oh my, what? oh my, wrigley23 thinks it's crazy to blame the sun for the flyball soriano lost in the sun. come to think of it, add soriano's failure to be immune from the sun's rays as another reason to move him to 1b.

the guy who played screech on saved by the bell called me gay at a comedy club once.

I have forgiven him for the drop in Pittsburgh. i have dropped the grudge i had against the sun.

there are a lot of stadiums with astroturf though...good point. oh wait, it's not 1978 anymore, nevermind.

dirt is softer than grass...lol.

you shouldn't have bit. believe it or not, your idea looks even dumber now.

soriano's only had four hitless games (not counting games in which he had one ab) all may. can we quit pretending he's been worthless outside of that one week yet?

has there been a bigger fantasy bust than prince fielder?

i haven't seen the term GWRBI since the last time i looked at the back of a 1987 topps.

jim rome talks like a 14 year old rich white kid from the suburbs that tries to act black.

did he talk about how the roberts rumors only effected his defense?

not the best amateur porn, but pretty good nonetheless. you missed out, raw.

barring a collapse, i think marmol makes it. maybe at the expense of dempster.

sutcliffe and berman sounded like they were high last night. sutcliffe (on pierre): i love this guy. berman (real softly/gently): i know you do. it was weird.

He just lost a game 2 days ago. Why can't an article be written about it? He's been bad. Marquis has been bad, not so bad that it's indefensible for him to have a job pitching in the major leagues, but bad enough to justify writing articles about how bad he's been. It's a 162 game season that requires stories to be written for 9 months. Soriano's poor showing is deserving of an article. The tears, well, that's another issue. tough to say he "lost" the game. i mean, he did hit a 2-run homer that game too. and yeah, articles can be written about it, i suppose...they have to write about something. i just think his defensive problems have been overblown because of their timing.
