Soriano - Coach - 04-14-2010
I doubt many of those "fans" watched the game in Cincy.
Soriano - Butcher - 04-14-2010
What possible purpose can booing our own players serve? I just don't get it.

Yeah, I didn't like the way he ran out on the field, tipped his hat, and high-fived his teammates either. Good point.

Ruby, you're smarter than that, but I'll explain it anyway. They were booing him from the game before. See? They weren't at that game because it was in Cincinnati. They were booing him because he's made a shitload of plays like that. They're tired of him not making routine plays. They're tired of him striking out on pitches in the dirt. They're tired of the fact he's one of the highest paid players in baseball and he makes the same mistakes over and over and over. BUT THEY COULDN'T BOO HIM SUNDAY BECAUSE THEY WERE ON THE ROAD, SO THEY BOOED HIM MONDAY INSTEAD. Surely you understand that.
And he deserved it.

Soriano - BT - 04-14-2010
I was at the game. I am almost always in the "let the fans do what they want" camp. That being said, I almost got up and left today.
Soriano misplayed a ball in the corner that did not affect us. He "misplayed" one off the wall that many many many players would have missed. And it did not affect us. And when Lou came out for the double switch the fans cheered when he took Soriano out, and booed him mercilessly as he got to the dugout.
it serves NO purpose, and it's classless. If we are going to ride him for every mistake in the outfield, ride him as badly as the "fans" did today, then I wouldn't blame him if he doesn't lift a finger to help the team for the rest of the year.

Really? You wouldn't blame him if he didn't lift a finger for the team for the rest of the year? You don't think he's at any fault for the booing? You think he should just take the rest of the year off because the fans are tired of him not being able to do the simplest of things like pick a ball off the ground, catch fly balls, and swing at good pitches? Holy shit.

Unless you think he isn't trying, there isn't any reason to boo him. It makes no sense.
Soriano - kbwsb - 04-14-2010
I agree with BT about the uselessness of booing. But Alf has 18 million reasons why he sure as fuck<i> better</i> try hard for the rest of the year.
Soriano - Clapp - 04-14-2010
He's already said he's been worried about getting hurt again and is trying to avoid that. So if he's not going "100%", there's a big reason why. Like I said, he's a headcase. I don't get how booing our own guy that's mentally fragile is going to do anything positive for him whatsoever.

Wow that's a huge assumption.
Soriano - kbwsb - 04-14-2010
What's kind of odd is that a lot of $100 million dollar + signings end up almost this badly. Zito and Kevin Brown come to mind. Mike Hampton was a <i>disaster</i>. Giambi certainly never lived up to his deal, and even Beltran, though he's played well, hasn't been lights out or anything.
I'm sure I'm forgetting a few. How much did Carlos Lee get?
