I know you Cubbie fans got a a little thread going and we(who have won 10 WS since you have even been to one) have our own thread but I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread to talk smack about the this weekends series

You're too busy masturbating to yourself trying to play the gotcha game, inserting shit I didn't say into my posts to realize how much of an ass you're making of yourself. Nothing new though.

Soriano was a shortstop before he was a 2nd baseman...captain Derek Jeter was in his way...

And, Michael Young played 2nd base until he moved to SS to make way for Soriano...

In high school, yes, 2nd baseman typically have weak arms...not in the pros.

Most 2nd baseman in the majors, especially younger 2nd baseman, were SS with strong arms before having to move to 2nd base because the veteran star player is already there...

Most teams have established SS already...and 2nd base is an easy transition.

You're simply a fool if you think 90% of major league second baseman couldn't transition to LF, like Soriano, and put up huge assist numbers...

glaus is going to have to do something.

Lets see you turn a major league double play from 2nd base...

THIS ISN'T HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL...

You don't hide weak arms at 2nd base...you typically hide them at 1st base or LF...in fact, you hide your weak fielders, generally, at 1st base or LF, hence the reason Soriano plays left and not center...

And why do they put up huge assist numbers? Oh lets think about it...Because they have weak arms! Everyone runs on them? Or does the all-knowing Hootie have another excuse that he thinks makes him sound like he knows what he's talking about?

Compared to a guy off the street? Yeah. So do bullpen catchers.

Compared to majors leaguers? fuck no. Generally, your catcher, SS, 3B, and right fielder have the strongest throwing arms.

If you crave attention this much, just submit a photo of yourself to hotchickswithdouchebags.

So you're now admitting Soriano has a weak arm?

Hysterical.

He was also 2nd in the league in putouts behind Jason Bay.

If you think Alfonso Soriano has a weak arm, you are simply insane.

I bet he can throw a baseball at least 90 MPH.

Marrrrrrrrrrmollllllllllllllllllll

From 3-0 to strikeout.

Are you kidding? Why do you think I added Craig Biggio to the conversation? He was a converted catch (strong arm) to 2nd base...

I know who "generally" has strong throwing arms...I know that Jose Guillen has one of the strongest arms in baseball, and yes, like Soriano, plays LF because he can't hit worth a lick.

Putouts means that they hit the ball to him... Shit if Chris Duncan was there he would have been second in putouts too, and NO ONE would be calling him a good outfielder.

I bet Marmol gives Lou lots of gray hair and heart problems.

Man on 2nd with Pujols, Ludwick and Glaus due up with one out. Another blown chance.

And throwing out a runner at first from the hole requires much more gas than that.

Jesus, you an idiot. Just die in a fire.
