Soriano Clutch Hit

Mmmmmmmmmm...this crow taste good. One day after lambasting Alfonso Soriano for his inept play in the field, and throwing in his inability to get a clutch hit in for good measure, I am sitting down for some tasty crow.

I was even ready to write how, Soriano, would have blown it in the seventh if not for a bad call at first base. With the bags loaded Soriano hit a ground ball to short for what looked to be a routine double play. But Mr. Soriano beat out the throw to first...or so it was called. A replay clearly showed he should have been out. I was ready for bear.

Then after a complete breakdown by the bull pen in the bottom of the seventh, the Cubs were down 5-3. They would go on to get one in the eight, and then in the ninth with one on and one out, the game on the line, Mr. Alfonso Soriano, in the clutch, would blast one to left. Cubs up 6-5.

This brings me to a discussion I had with a friend of mine. He said the Cubs knew what they were getting when they picked up Soriano and it was Lou's fault last game for leaving Soriano in on defense in the bottom of the ninth. Well, friend of mine, this is why it wasn't Lou's fault...Soriano, when he is hot, is a game changer. Did I say that out loud?

I'm sorry, I'm glad he got the clutch hit but, Soriano frustrates me. Hopefully by the end of the season that will change. As of right now he has been the goat and the champ. Let the games begin.

Once again the cubs have a chance to win the series and that's what you want; one game at a time and then one series at a time. Tomorrow it's Dempster vs. Suppan, even though Suppan was roughed up his first outing I think at home you have to give the edge to the Brewers. Let's go get them! Cubs Century Is Here!
