Cubs lose again. 8-2 at home to the Brewers. But like Master Lou, I know the answer - BAT Soriano to leadoff!  Yeah, that’s it.  That’s the problem.  Him batting 2nd is why you are 0-2.  Check out his quote:

“It’s something I’ve been thinking about since the end of Spring Training, and we’ll go with it,” Piniella said. “Soriano is running better. We’ll put him in the leadoff hole, where he’s more comfortable, and let him hit there.”

Whew… I was getting worried.  Now the Cubs should be just fine!

This came up several weeks ago but we are just now getting around to it. Alfonso Soriano isn’t afraid of much - but he IS afraid of running into the outfield wall.

“I have no problems running from side to side or running to make a catch in front of me,” he said. “The only problem I have sometimes is running backward because I’m scared of hitting the wall. But I’m working very hard in spring training to get better. … That’s one of the only places that has [bricks] in the back [instead of padding],” Soriano said. “But the work in spring training will help me there and in different ballparks. I just have to work to make myself more comfortable.”

WHAT? Is that why you suck in the outfield? Afraid that wall is gonna jump out at ya? Maybe the Cubs should consider moving him back into 2B or something. Or better yet, lets pad the walls at Wrigley! And while we are at it, let Sam Zell sell some ads on the walls. LOL!

So we’ve already witnessed a number of Spring Training injuries on the Cubs roster.  The two best are:

• Alfonso Soriano breaks his finger and is out a while.  This could hurt.  Alfonso has never been real “tough” and he doesn’t like to play through pain.  Could be a long year Cub fans.
• Jose Ascanio got jacked up in the face during a robbery attempt.
• Mark Derosa having heart issues.  We wish Mark all the best.  Even we wouldn’t joke about a serious matter like this.
• And the best of all - Felix Pie has been out for a few games due to a twisted testicle.  How in the world do you get a twisted testicle?  And how bad would that hurt? I never want to find out.
