Soriano blames Cubs makeup for flop
And who is the Cubs' postseason goat? Should it be divided equally among the players and the manager, the chairman and the Greek priest, or should $137 million outfielder Alfonso Soriano be acknowledged for his 1-for-14 performance? Soriano is likely to hear about it the most over the off-season. "Yeah, it's tough," he said. "We tried, but it just didn't happen. We played all year like a very good team and we expected a little bit more, but it didn't happen." While he didn't pass the buck, Soriano said he believes the Cubs were built for a marathon, not a sprint. "We're a very good team for [162] games, but we don't do nothing after that," he said. "That's the difference. We're not put together for [a short series]."

Soriano choked with the Yankees in the post season. He is what his record says he is in post season play.

The AROD for Soriano trade might end up being a record for the most money 2 guys involved in a trade got in their careers as well as the worst combined playoff batting average.

The Cubs are cursed and they deserve to be. How do you like that, Commissioner? That is karma payback for moving that Astros series to stinking Milwaukee.

"derrek lee...where the **** has he disappeared to??...."
uh, dude, he only batted like .545 in this series.
Soriano should take some blame, but so should Lou for continually batting Soriano 1st. The guy with the lowest OBP, most home runs and highest Slugging shouldn't be your leadoff guy.
Lineup should look like
1 - Theriot SS
2 - Fontenot 2B
3 - Lee 1b
4 - Ramirez 3b
5 - Soriano LF
6 - Soto - C
7 - Derosa - RF
8 - Edmonds/Johnson CF
Honestly, this linuep is so good, the 2,6,7, and 8 spots could be swapped out in any way between those 4(5) guys and I wouldn't complain.
Also, one more request for Lou since I'm sure he'll be reading this:
Next year, START ZAMBRANO FIRST AND DON"T PULL HIM AFTER SIX FREAKING INNINGS BECAUSE YOU ARE WORRIED THAT YOU MIGHT NEED HIM LATER IN THE SERIES

Soriano should go sit and look in a mirror before pointing any fingers or assessing the "make-up" of this team. Perhaps if a certain left fielder who is making $137 million didn't go 1-14 then that would help the "make-up" It made me physically sick to watch that collapse last week and to now hear our "franchise player" come out and blame the "make-up" of the team. How about this next season, make up your mind if you want to go out and win a World Series or if you want to just fold up the minute the post-season starts.

I think Ozzie Guillen said it correctly "**** the Cubs" Just because they are in a big market, and baseball novices kiss their ****, doesn't mean they deserve anything. What a bunch of losers with no leadership.

After the Cubs, Brewers and Selig conspired to force the ASTROS to play the day after Hurricane Ike, there is nothing that makes me happier then seeing the Cubs and Brewers get there butts spanked! Karma is an evil b *tch!
