Washington's Big Baby...
When I think of Alfonso Soriano these days I'm reminded of a Steve Martin diatribe in the legendary movie Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Like John Candy in that movie Soriano is like a Chatty Kathy Doll that pulls its own chord and whines like a bitch when doing so.
Soriano is having a hissy because the Washington Nationals have that audacity to play him in left field and not his beloved second base.
Hold on Alfonso while I get you some tissues and some cheese to go along with your whining.
I'm sick of babies like Soriano in professional sports. This guy is receiving $10 million this season to play for the Nationals. 10 million for playing a stinking kids game! For that kind of money I would lick the lime off the base paths on a daily basis.
But not this clown. He refuses to play because he can't play second base.
True, Soriano said he didn't want to play there before but that's too bad. You play where you are told, end of discussion. If you refuse to do your job you are a bum plain and simple.
Soriano, you are a bum.
What Soriano and so many of these pampered primadonnas forget is that this is their job. Yes, it's a game but it's also their job. That being said, when somebody tells you to do something, you do it. I and I'm sure everyone on this blog sometimes has to do things at their respective jobs that we don't want to do. But we do them because that's our job.
The fact that Soriano's job consists of playing a game for a few hours a day makes this all the more annoying and sad.
That Nationals are warning Soriano that if he continues his refusal to play that they will put him on the disqualified list which means he won't get paid. To this I say kudos to the Nationals. Make that bum get a real job in the real world and then see how tough he thinks it is to have to play left field in pristine parks for more money then most people can only dream of earning in an entire lifetime.
Maybe then Soriano would have some perspective.
Oh and Alfonso, last time I checked you're no Roberto Alomar at second base. You have averaged more than 21 errors a season over the last five years at second base so a position change might do you some good.
If Soriano's attitude doesn't change the best change for baseball fans will be to see this greedy, whiny malcontent no longer on the field.
Count your blessings Soriano.
You bum!
