Am I the only one that really can care less if Soriano is coming back? Seeing the signs of selfishness that Sosa taught us, I am begining to not like the Fonz....
... Uh... no. There are several here that aren't fans of Alfonsosa. ... I'm torn on this one honestly. I agree that it does make his power less effective but...
I like having a guy in the lineup who can carry your team for a month. Do I like Soriano's contract, and age. No. But do I like the fact that we have a chance...
How about kinda sorta pitching around Ryan Braun instead of throwing him a constant stream of strikes every time we play the Brewers (120 times a year). I've...
The question is what damage does he do when he isn't hot. The ultimate impact MAY be a wash, but we've seen what this team can do without him. I guess now we...

One of the reasons I don't like his brand of game is the roller coaster production. He doesn't scare anyone at the plate. I don't have the same feeling when...
Pitching to Braun with nobody on vs. pitching to Fielder with Braun on base... I don't like either situation honestly. Braun is a terrific hitter, but Prince...
Still not true. In his best month last year (September) he was 17th in OPS. In his second best month (June) he was 14th. ... [Non-text portions of this...
My guess is that Lou is patiently waiting for Soriano to ask to be in the middle of the lineup. I do wish he'd stop that hopping around. Looks stupid. ... ...
Well we could debate Soriano's value from now till whenever. Stats do not show how he is among a handful who can win a game with his arm, speed, and bat. Stats...
I understand your point Dwayne. As a cubs fan, yeah, I live with the fact that we are stuck with him. As far as stats go, stats don't determine outcomes of...
I like Reed Johnson coupled with Soriano. I am okay with him leading off. He is more productive in that spot. Let him strike out (or hit a home run) and move...

I don't think this was intended to be a personal slam. I think Will is just pointing out what looks like desperation to defend a player you like. Personally I...
... Didn't mean to sound like I was slamming you - I thought I was slamming Soriansosa. If you felt personally slammed, then please accept my apologies - no ...
It seemed more of a slam to what i was saying more than anything else. I actually do not like Soriano. I still have a great debate running with my son over his...
No problem, I probably read into it more than I should have. Thanks, D ... From: Will To: cubscoven@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, May 01, 2008 1:25 PM ...
First game back, and Soriano loses it with his defense...an he sure didn't help with his mighty bat. I haven't seen that many quick at bats since Alfonsosa...

Marmol's to valuable bieng able to pitch the 7th, and 8th. I love Kid K, but maybe we should trade for H. Street of the A's, or a proven closer? D ... From:...
I am not so worried about Wood based on yesterday's game alone, and I definitely don't want to move Marmol - especially with the way the offense has been...
I am having a tough time woth my son about K. Wood. My son has not liked him at closer since day 1. But Woody is one of my all time favorite Cubs, and I think...
