From Wrigley

I’ve got a new stat for the standings… Win, Loss, ‘Fonzo. For the second consectuive day Alfonso Soriano was a massive liability in left. So bad that somewhere, Manny Ramirez was no doubt laughing. And yes, I know (obviously) it was his homer that tied the game up and he was not on the bump when the Cardinals scored their walk-off winner, but Zo led directly to two of those Cardinals three runs that sent it to extras. Unbelievable.

Brenly had it spot on when he said (paraphrasing here) that “guys taking a few fungoes in daylight does not prepare them for game situations like tonight, under the lights at full speed.” Keep him down in the minors a few days and make him work at it. I don’t care how bad they’re itching to get back up, if they can’t handle it their paycheck still clears at the bank and we’re left holding the mess.
