The Wrigleyville23 blog had a funny little article about Soriano and his usage of the word ‘ball’. Check out this quote.
“That was a real test,” Soriano said of the play. “He didn’t call the ball, I didn’t call the ball, but I saw him close to the ball and I let him get the ball.”
Hilarious.
“**** the Cubs”
While manager Dusty Baker and most Cubs players interviewed had no problem with A.J. Pierzynski’s collision with Michael Barrett, rookie left-hander Rich Hill called it “gutless” and “pathetic.”
“I think it was pretty gutless on their part; him hitting Michael when he didn’t even have the ball,” Hill said. “That’s not how you play the game. If he had the ball and he hits him, that’s fine, that’s how you play it. But you don’t go around just running over catchers. What if he injured him and he didn’t have the ball? That’s not the way you play the game. It was pathetic.”
Sox manager Ozzie Guillen was livid when he heard Hill’s comment.
“Tell that Triple-A [bleep] to shut the [bleep] up,” Guillen said. “Tell him to start throwing some strikes or he’s going to get Dusty fired.”
“If they blew up Wrigley tomorrow, it wouldn’t bother me at all. That ivy is nasty, the infield grass is waist high, and they definitely have the most vulgar fans.”
“The Chicago Cubs are like Rush Street–a lot of singles, but no action.”
