I like when we do the winning.

Especially when said winning is against the Phillies.

They should go see how much of Sorianos salary Chicago is willing to take on.

[HUGG]

Soriano hates Zambrano. He was the biggest "get him out of here" guy on the team.


And Zambrano agreed to waive that 2013 option as part of the trade.

If he finishes top 4 in the cy young, he will probably end up getting a pretty nice free agent deal anyway.

Amazing the Marlins have won 2 in a row in Philly while I was in attendance and they are like 1-8 in Miami for me! Big Z settled down after the first inning and Hanley coming through with the big stick this series! Philly is a lot of fun and their fans get a bad rap for being jerks.

[Anonymous]

Their fans seethe worst when their teams are winning.

[dgriot]

Pretty sure Big Z waived the option as part of the trade.

That's because they are, in fact, jerks.
