There are no 15 page threads on Ramirez being horrible. There aren't threads on DLee or Fukudome. Theriot doesn't have a thread. The bullpen has a thread that's more about philosophy on creating a bullpen, than on how horrible they've been.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->


Amen.

I feel a rant coming on, but this team isn't worth the effort.

<b>
The Ramirez thread hasn't started because I believe that we all believe that he will come out of this. He's always been a solid player and this funk is uncharacteristic.</b> I guarantee that another couple of weeks of this and he'll get his thread. Same with Lee.

Theriot, Fukudome, and the bullpen have been ripped, disected, and criticized ad nauseum. Just because there hasn't been threads about them, doesn't mean it isn't so.

True, but the same goes for Soriano. He was playing at about 75% last year. When he was healthy, he was destroying the ball as always, as we saw last April. People fail to realize this though and just assume he's a washed up hitter. He shouldn't have even been playing much of the year, but he wanted to. The organization fucked up by not forcing him to go on the DL way earlier than September.
