I'm fully aware that everyone in the world hates Soriano except for BLT.com, but it amazes me how columnists don't even try to hide it anymore. Enter Bruce Miles of the Daily Herald:
"In the fateful 10th, Soriano also showed some flashes from days gone by. He walked with two outs, and this former basestealer swiped second, bad knee and all.
That set the stage for Theriot, as the Cubs came from behind for a second straight day for a walk-off winner."
So even when Soriano draws a two-out walk (his second of the game) and steals second base to put himself in scoring position as the winning run, we still take subtle shots at him? "From days gone by" and "former basestealer?" Didn't he do all the things in the 10th inning that you want your leadoff hitter to do? I'm not saying that this excuses Soriano's poor performance in the leadoff spot so far this year, but if you're going to complain even when he does EXACTLY what you've wanted him to do all season, it makes you seem small and petty.
