Soriano whining   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #36039 of 37487 |
What a hypocrite. Wasn't he the one who called out MB by saying if he is not
100% about the team, then we don't need him here. Follow your own advice and
don't whine about having to "prepare for a game" when he is not playing. For
18M you should always prepare as if you were going to play anyhow. You might
pinch hit, or run for someone or just basically act like a professional ball
player.

I cannot wait until he no longer plays for the Cubs. I probably regret his
signing over Carlos Lee more than any other that Trader Jim has done.

Amen, Nat. El Cabayo could have been the leader we needed, and an unselfish, consistent left-fielder. Losing out on him probably was Hendry's worst non-move....

Yeah, the only way we're likely to get rid of him is if we keep paying a huge chunk of his contract for him to play somewhere else. I don't know about you...

No, it only seems like it.   On 11/21/06 he signed an 8-year deal, he's only in the 3rd year.  It just seems like it's been 15 years.  We have to put up...
