Chicago Cubs' Alfonso Soriano says days off cleared his mind

Cleared his mind? Too bad it didn't wake up his bat and his glove instead! How about a vacation for the rest of this lost season, since it appears he's already on one.

Soriano's skills have eroded quite quick...1908...

I wish the Jimmy "Turtle neck" Hendry could get rid of all this losers of Bradley, Soriano, Fukudome, Miles, Fontenot, Theriot, Heilman, Gregg and Harden, Including Hendry.

I got my mind right, boss.

Hey, I've got an idea. The Twins are said to be shopping Delmon Young. If the Cubs picked him up, they could have an outfield of all psychopaths. How cool would that be?

They've already got Captain Ahab (Lou) at the helm. Maybe they could pick up Jimmy Piersall for the booth. And when Big Z pitches, bring in Ted Kaczynski to sing "Take me out to the ballgame" in the 7th.

If you've gotta be crazy to be a Cub fan, maybe you should be crazy to be a Cub.

Oh, now don't cry...

Two words for Soriano: Go Away. I don't care where or how but just go away. Leave and go choke for another team. Huge waste of money. Go anywhere else. Don't clear out your mind Soriano, clear out your locker. You disgrace that uniform. I hope you never play another game for the Cubs - ever.

I like the Cubs

What a bunch of prima donnas- I watch the game today and thought I was watching the BAD NEWS BEARS -not the cubs. The way they played I kept thinking world series at least 2015

The BAD NEWS BEARS, now there's a team that brings back memories. They ended up winners in that movie, didn't they? So, not a good parallel for the Cubs.

Funny you never hear that Pujols, Ludwig & Company have to be put out to pasture for a few games to have their heads "cleared." They generally do the "clearing" - of runners on base ahead of them.

That's hilarious! I also heard Elijah Dukes might be available.

136 mil for a guy batting under .230 and who is one of the laziest fielders in the game. Only the Cubs.

Put in Bob Brenly now as Manager, those overpaid, pampered bunch need a swift kick in the arse.... La Russa don't put up with any nonsence and ya'll see the results!

Man up, Lou! Give Soriano what he deserves--MORE time on the bench and getting traded or sent down until he can play his position and hit the ball!

Yeah... that benching really cleared Soriano's head. Otherwise, he never would have had the awareness to throw out the runner at second after he dropped the fairly easy fly ball!! GREAT JOB!

LOL!!! GO CARDINALS!

How about Alfonso "Hippity-hop, Fly-Ball drop" Soriano to the Blue Jays for Vernon Wells. Their contracts match-up pretty well, and Wells can't be that bad, can he?

One more thing. Soriano... keep up that stupid panzy hop you make when actually catching a fly ball you putz! I can't believe pitchers don't drill him right in the back!! Moron!

Yeah, he may be a bum and this team may suck but with all that said your shitty cardinals are only 4.5 games in front of the underachieving cubs. I know the Cubs are not what they were last year and they may be a joke this year but the real joke is your team is good and only has a 4.5 game lead over our debacle. It may be funny now, but it is a long season and anything can happen and don't worry I will be watching and reminding you the rest of the way!
I just wish the Cubs could be such an epic organization like the St. Louis Rams!!!!
P.S. Loser Cardinal Fans are not welcome here and it shows your loser ass has nothing better to do!!!
FUK THE CARDINALS

Sends Bradley and Sorryano down to Triple A for 10 days... If they are hitting over 300 they get to come back if not leave them down there for another 10 days if they aren't hitting 300 another 10 days and so on.....
You guys who want to get rid of Sorryano... Who would take him...
If you asked for a bag of balls and you picked of 17 of the 18 million you still wouldn't get any takers!
