If it has taken teams 9 years to figure him out, baseball needs new scouts. It is entirely possible he is just going to have a down year or is in a long, long slump.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
It's quite simple really. Soriano is aging and his bat speed has slowed. He needs to stop swining that telephone pole he uses and get a lighter bat.

Or his bat is so slow because he's still hurt. You don't just have bat speed on May 17th and lose it on May 19th.

The thing you need to remember is that all Cardinals fans and all White Sox fans are very bad people. It's a fact that has been scientifically proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. Being a Cubs fan is the only path to rightousness and piousness. Cardinal and White Sox fans exist to be the dark, diabolical forces that oppose us. They are the yin to our yang, the Joker to our Batman, the demon to our angel, the insurgence to our freedom, the oil to our water, the club to our baby seal. Their happiness occurs only in direct conflict with everything that is pure and good in this world.
