"Welcome guys," Epstein remembers Samardzija saying on his first day with Sveum. "I just want you to know one thing about me. I will do whatever it takes to help this team. And I think the best way to help this team is by being a starting pitcher. I'm eliminating everything in my life that gets in the way. I'm dumping my girlfriend. I'm moving to Arizona. I just want the chance to show you that I'm a starting pitcher."

Quite.  His father and his grandfather might have been Major League pitchers, but he's not, and never will be.  He'll never even be a useful trading chip.  He needs to do himself, and us, a favour - and get to fuck.

I'm pretty sure Sullivan Tweeted that he got sent down the other day. Even if I dreamed that, I'm going to believe it's true.

Of course.  The Cubs are probably planning to trade the interesting prospects for some other interesting prospects.  Something, something, meatball, meatball...something...something.

Every day I come to this thread hoping to read that the Cubs persuaded Soriano to give up his aversion to becoming a Giant and that they traded him for half of the Giants' starting rotation.

In that case, next time, come to this thread after taking a hit of acid.

When he took a pitch right down the middle to strike out looking with the bases loaded, you mean?  I'm starting to reconsider my previous opinion on this bloke.
