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

And that fan has the right to judge you as being a poor fan.

Some fans choose to view sports from a realistic, objective stand-point.

This Soriano stuff is Cub fan's wet dreams. Nobody from the AL is looking into some bum who has been feasting on pitching from the shittiest division in baseball. Nobody from the NL wants him to play outfield.

You don't understand.

Soriano won't have a flag taken on him...when you successfully pass through the waiver process, you can then be traded to any team.

When you ARE claimed, you have some choices:

1) Your team can try to work out a trade with only the team that claims him. If no trade is made, you cannot trade him to any other team until the offseason.

OR

2) The team can choose to outright him to the claiming team.

Obviously no one is going to want to outright pick up Soriano's contract...which is why he can be traded.

I disagree.


For a very small price (maybe like 10% of his deal) you get a guy with 30 homerun power.

Sometimes...but sometimes not. Be honest Bryan...you know there are some idiot fans...many of them refer to themselves as "Cubs fans." Ask them to name 2 guys from the bullpen - and they can't do it. Ask them to name all 5 starters...probably couldn't even do that. I was talking to a "Cubs fan" yesterday who didn't know who Paul Maholm was. I talked to another Cubs fan recently who thought the Cubs should sign Bryan LaHair to an extension "before another team takes him."

Are they including Rizzo in on the deal? Soriano hasn't hit 30 home runs since before Obama was stealing bigfan's money.

Sori has a higher WAR

You don't even need to look outside this city to know that Alfonso Soriano wouldn't be the worst DH.

It's more fun to be a victim

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

Sori has a higher WAR, and in the White Sox lineup...his raw numbers would be superior. His OPS is only slightly behind. That would increase playing 81 games at the Cell.

:lol:

No Dunn is better


But at least half the DH's in the AL have a lower OPS

snap shot

This Soriano surge is just a dead cat bounce in my opinion

Might wanna run those numbers with Soriano as a DH


His WAR would certainly be lower

IMU clearly doesn't understand WAR.

rpb is wrong. Phil McCracken is useful.

RPB is right. You suck.

Because he is such a stellar outfielder.

Alfonso Soriano offers more than Adam Dunn to any AL team. With the increased raw stats he would have, his numbers would be better. He can play LF (better than Dunn) as needed. I don't see how this isn't obvious.

We aren't talking Adam Dunn from 6-7 years ago.

Obviously Soriano's numbers suffer within one of the worst offenses in the NL.

Because he is such a stellar outfielder.

If you hate Laurence, then don't listen - don't comment. When he co-hosts the B&B show, take that day off ... listen to an old podcast of a Bernstein solo show and jerk off all day.

Please note that IMU does not speak for all Cub fans on the board.

It is hard to say that the AL pitchers are so great when the AL hitters always put up better numbers, yes?
