Laurence Holmes is a fucking weirdo, a nerd in denial, and a wannabe. Not a very good radio host either.

Is this a joke? This year doesn't excuse any of Soriano's crappy play over the years. The flailing at balls in the dirt for strike 3. The throws to the wrong base. The boneheaded base running. Play when it means something. His stats this year don't mean jack squat. Fuck Soriano.

Yes it is.

When this is all over, which is not going to be for a while, Trump will be re-elected President.

Fuck Soriano and him denying a trade at the deadline.

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

I'd like to hear from all the people who blasted Soriano. With 29 HRS and 101 RBI and counting, the man is what many including myself have also maintained: a legit power bat and a great teammate. And with actual decent defense this year, he actually has been a pretty complete player.

Yes, they should still look to trade him, but frankly, given the team will still suck next year, if they can't get a good return in a trade, they should keep him for 2013 at least up until the deadline. They owe him 36M for the next 2 years and I would not trade him for some scrub minor leaguers and eat 30M. If you are going to trade him, they better at least get a quality prospect or 2 plus have to eat no more than 16M.

I am not a legal expert, how many times do I have to say it?

I'm just happy he put up these great numbers in the years they had back to back playoff appearances when he was in his prime.

Oh wait...

Alfonso Soriano is having a better year than Adam Dunn.

Run and tell that, homeboy.

I would cover for SHARK, Drop In, Dave in Champaign, my Mom, and Urlacher's Missing Neck. After that, the list gets pretty thin. There are a few people about whom I would definitely fabricate charges.

Soriano not only had a nice season at the plate,what he has done in Left Field has been an unexpected surprise. He actually looks like a MLB OF. He always had an accurate arm,but his fielding has been very good. I still wish they would have just cut him when the team was sold to Ricketts. His contract should have been figured into the purchase of the club.

Cubs' Soriano says he's open to offseason trade

CHICAGO (AP) -- Chicago Cubs left fielder Alfonso Soriano says he is open to being traded in the offseason.
The 36-year-old is having his best season in years. He said Wednesday that ''I just want to have one more shot to go to the World Series before I (retire).''
Soriano has two years remaining on his contract and says he will consider walking away when the deal is up.
The Cubs lost 100 games for the first time since 1966. Depending on how long they expect the rebuilding process to take, Soriano is not opposed to staying.
He is slated to make $18 million each of the next two seasons. Soriano hit 32 home runs with a career-high 108 RBIs this season.
He has two World Series appearances with the New York Yankees in 2001 and 2003, but has not won a championship.

Are you stoned or pissed off, or both, when you create these postings?

I smell a bit....

I would bet a lot of money that Anthony Rizzo's best year isn't as good as what Soriano did this past season. There's a lot of irrational hatred for Soriano.

rpb is wrong. Phil McCracken is useful.

RPB is right. You suck.

Stop yourself

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

That wouldn't mean Rizzo is bad. If you could pretty much pencil him in for 24-28 HRs and 85-95 RBI once he gets established, wouldn't most Cubs fans be happy with that?

Taking the Rizzo discussion out of the equation plenty of the Soriano hate is plenty justified. From the stupid hop to taking multiple years to get even mediocre at playing the easiest defensive position on the field. To his horrendous strikeouts with runners in scoring position and his abysmal playoff numbers from 07 to 08. I realize it is mostly Hendry's fault for giving a middling player entering his declining years such a big contract but as a Cubs fan the hate of Soriano is plenty justified.
