Lighten up, Kevin. This is the first one !! Yeah, first one at home, but the 7th in the last 8 games (with tomorrow being as night game, too). True enough, but the CUBS only have control over their home schedule.

Lighten up, Kevin. This is the first one !!

No, on the contrary, Soriano finished last season at 3.85 P/PA, while he's at 3.72 P/PA right now. I haven't checked yet this year, but league average usually runs between 3.70 and 3.75. edit: Soriano had 3.71 P/PA in '08.
