Sheesh.

In plain language:
1. Like many Cub fans, I despise the hop, even in the best of times.
2. For Soriano, these are the worst of times.
3. Of all of his many negatives, his most obvious one lately has been his atrocious fielding, especially the dropping of lazy fly balls that you or me could easily catch.
4. As Lou mentions, the Hop actually makes it more difficult to catch a fly ball.
5. Alf concedes that his fielding has sucked so much that he's going to nix the Hop.
6. KB rejoices.
Sheesh.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
