Alfonso Soriano is having a dismal year.  Sori wrapped that dismalness up in a nice, neat package Thursday against the White Sox, going 0-4 with 3 Ks and committing a fielding gaffe that had fans all over America muttering the cursed name of Brant Brown under their breaths. It is, however, not fair to compare Soriano’s [...]

Soriano Set For Surgery, Is Tougher Than You

Via Another Cubs Blog  |  September 04, 2009
So we finally have the truth of it from the man himself. Alfonso Soriano is a ******* hardass. “Lou said it’s not good to play on one leg,” said Soriano, who had cortisone shot in the knee Sunday. “I was 80 percent, but now I’m down to 50 or 60 percent.

Game Recap -- White Sox 5, Cubs 0 -- Blame The Fonz

Via Goat Riders of the Apocalypse  |  September 04, 2009
Let's be honest for a second. The Chicago Cubs -- versions 2007 and 2008 -- would have never made the playoffs had it not been for Alfonso Soriano. In the first two years with the team, despite nagging injuries and cold starts to the season, Soriano was an offensive sparkplug and a defensive secret weapon in left field. It's true that he would bungle the occassional catch...

Via Chicago Cubs Blog  |  September 03, 2009
The Chicago Cubs played another terrible game as they were shutout by the White Sox 5-0. Terrible offense and just as bad defense really hurt the Cubs.
