The errors on the Stubbs' steal was hilarious. The throw to 2nd got past THREE Cubs players, and rolled towards the CF wall. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 If Volstad wants to avoid becoming the next Anthony Young, tonight's the best chance he will get for a W with the Stros in town.

southsider2k5 Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 After seeing that Soriano said he had no interest in going to the Giants, and know that he turned down other trade opportunities, it makes me wonder... Is there something in the Old Style there? The fans don't care about winning, the players don't care about winning... It just amazes me that an awful baseball team, in an antique ballpark, has all of these players (such as Sori, Dempster, Wood, etc) who never want to leave.

Perhaps they prefer having most nights off? (apparently this is true for Castro). Not having to work the extra month in October might also be a perk.
