daa84 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 QUOTE (fathom @ May 17, 2008 -> 12:50 PM) Did Jason Bay drop a fly ball costing the Pirates a few runs? I missed the play. it was a one hopper that he mishandled....brenely is unreal, he was like wow thats a tough error that was a hard ball to handle.....what a joke ...every major leaguer should make that play...and yes it did cost a run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is strange to see Marmol lose a game for them though, very strange.  Anyways, Soriano is 20 for 37 with 7 home runs, 12 runs scored, and 15 RBI's on their homestand after going 5 for 5 today with 2 homers. He's done all that, and risen his average from .188 to .295 in 9 games. I don't think I've ever seen a hitter as hot and cold as Soriano is, but when he's hot, your better off just walking him everytime up.

fathom Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I'm pretty sure McLouth has owned Marmol this season. I thought D. Lee's was gone, especially with his hop after he hit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Not today on the Lee ball. Bay hit two of them that are gone almost any other day at Wrigley, and Soto had one like that too. Wind must have been blowing in today, even the two Soriano homers and one McClouth homer looked to all be headed for the street, but just ended up in the stands (or in McClouth's case, in the basket). Â QUOTE (fathom @ May 17, 2008 -> 03:25 PM) I'm pretty sure McLouth has owned Marmol this season. Â Good call. McLouth has a single, RBI double, solo HR, and two run HR against Marmol this year, now 4 for 4 against him.

Â They'd have never traded for either of them. They were too worried about getting Roberts, who in fact they don't need right now with the great MIF play they've received.

Nokona Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I am currently entrenched in a debate where Cubs fans are insisiting that they ceased support for Sosa because of his roiding. After they realized how silly they sounded they tried to say that Cubdom turned their back on him in 03. I pointed out that Cubs fans were too busy trying to lynch Steve Bartman. Then they went to the "he walked out on the team" excuse. Unfortunately he was never on the field again for them to b**** at him. Â These people are so cute.

The idiots who actually blamed Bartman for anything were busy lynching him throughout the off-season and '04. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
