I mean seriously, batting Soriano first game after game after game. It's ridiculous. Why can't he be moved down in the order--because he doesn't feel comfortable anywhere else? Because he'll see worse pitches? Bullshit.

Honestly, I would love for all this to workout this season. I'd love to see us making a charge to win the division. And while it's nice to win some big games here against the Brewers, you have to be delusional to think that the Cubs can take this division and more importantly, win playoff games with Soriano as it's leadoff hitter.

Until I see Piniella either bench Soriano or move him down in the order, I will question him.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
This is the stupidest thing I've ever read. We've won the division 2 years in a row with Soriano leading off. He was NOT the reason we've been swept 2 years in a row.

Just so I get this straight. You want to bench Alfonso Soriano a multiple time MVP who gets his career numbers every year, for Sam Fuld?

You're absolutely right, except Soriano has never won an MVP.

Whoops, meant to say All-Star. Nice catch Giff.
