Soriano comes home to NY

Yeah, a fluke, as in, you play that series over and over again, and the odds roll in favor of the Chicago Cubs.

How so? We played three games and the Cubs lost every one of them. Odds don't mean shit when you don't back it up.

You and I both know who the better team was in 2008, and it sure as hell wasn't the Los Angeles Dodgers.

You can't be the better team if you don't win.

Which means the Dodgers weren't the best team in 2008

Mofo beating his chest about an NLDS victory is funny considering all the shit he's talked about the Chargers' "meaningless" success because they haven't won the Super Bowl.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to remember your definition of winning "anything" means you have to win it all. Which is why you to this day insist that 1988 is the last time the Dodgers won "anything".

[HollywoodLeo]

I'm not the one in here saying an NLDS win is better than a World Series win.

Where did I say they were the best team, dipshit? Trendy is the one arguing the Cubs were the better team between the two.

It was hyperbole, but I can't help it if you want to take it the wrong way because you're an insecure loser who likes to remind younger generations that they can't celebrate stuff that happened years ago or else they're douchebags.

You and I both know who the more indestructible force was in 1912, and it sure as hell wasn't some fucking iceberg.

Mofo complaining about somebody taking his argument out of context while taking an argument out if context.

I do enjoy the irony in your argument that you can't celebrate shit unless you're old enough to take sports way too seriously.

[HollywoodLeo]

Except that has never been my argument.

Soriano has been pulled from the lineup. Looks like a deal could be announced at any moment.

Sherman: Alfonso Soriano trade came from ownership

By Mike Axisa Via Joel Sherman: Team ownership pulled the trigger on the Alfonso Soriano trade even though Brian Cashman advised against it. “I would say we are in a desperate time. Ownership wants to go for it. I didn’t want to give up a young arm. But I understand the desperate need we have for offense. And Soriano will help us. The bottom line is this guy makes us better. Did ownership want him? Absolutely, yes. Does he make us better? Absolutely, yes. This is what [Hal Steinbrenner] wants, and this is why we are doing it,” said the GM.

Sherman reiterates that ownership was also behind the Ichiro Suzuki re-signing while Cashman preferred to spend the money on the combination of Russell Martin and Nate Schierholtz, who was seriously considering the team’s offer. Since officially taking over for George Steinbrenner in November 2008, the Hal-led regime has been behind the Derek Jeter contract, the Rafael Soriano contract, the Ichiro contract, and now the Soriano trade. Who knows what else. The trade was fine in my opinion, but I don’t like that ownership has made a habit of going over the baseball ops department’s head. That’s generally bad news.

Fantastic, so ownership is still the moronic mind behind everything. So odds are Cash gets fed up, leaves, and then they hire some dumb patsy. Yay.
