Cano isnt even in the same leauge as soriano. Cant even compare the 2 statistically. Now if you mean they will get rid of him next season then I see where you are coming from.
Also I am rooting on the underdog angels to win it all. Since my team the indians didnt make it. Hate that they get 93 wins and dont make the playoffs.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

No, I mean that both are gifted offensive players that make terrible decisions at second.
Although I do think Cano will eventually become a much better player than Soriano.

i have to cheer for the white sox. i mean 85 years and no championship? hell they just won there first playoff series in 85 years. i think A-rod screwed the yankees more. he atleast could've advanced jeter instead of hitting into a double play. the guy is getting payed 25 million dollars atleast hit the ball out of the infield.

Getting back into it!
Gauntlet?
Is that you?
Doesn't sound like you...
Texas had one of the best infields the past few seasons. Why you ask? Blalock and Texeria are strong at the corners, but Soriano has made leaps and bounds defensively since being with the Yankees and of course, we all know how sound Michael Young is.
Soriano is far superior the Cano, offensively and defensively.

It would be a BIG mistake for them to dump Cano...they have no young talent in the majors, and NOTHING in the farms.
As far as Soriano vs. Cano...Cano proved in 1 series that he's a better postseason player then Soriano...

Listening to Mike and the Mad Dog on 660 just before..."A-rod is the king of the meaningless homerun"...couldn't have said it better //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
Just the way he struts around thinking he's King Shit. Or the way he chews his gum like it's a goddamn firecracker. Or his piss-*** routine when he steps in the box. It's all enough to make me puke. Sure, he finished above the league average in most categories during the season ... but I still hate the guy.
A-Rod: `I played like a dog'
By KEN PETERS, AP Sports Writer
October 11, 2005
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- Alex Rodriguez's most significant play of this AL division series may be remembered as one he didn't make -- with his glove. pwnt
Rodriguez, whose fielding error led to the tying run for the Angels in their Game 2 victory, certainly didn't leave much of an impression with his bat.
He was hitless in Monday night's 5-3 loss that sent the Yankees home for the year, and finished the five-game series with no RBIs and a .133 batting average..133? Am I seeing that correctly? .133? Yikes.
He felt he let his teammates down.
``I played great baseball all year, and I played like a dog the last five days. I can't put it into words. This is as low as it gets. I felt good, I saw the ball well,'' Rodriguez said. ``If I would have contributed some, maybe we would be moving on to Chicago. If you want to call playing with your head up your *** "like a dog", sure. Apparently you didn't see the ball well, Mr. .133.
``I've got to take a long look in the mirror because I didn't do my part. I mean, you win and lose as a team, but I didn't show up.'' Duhhhhh your body showed up, but your head was up your ***.
He wasn't the only one.
Gary Sheffield, quiet most of the series, had three hits in Game 5, but all singles. He didn't have an extra-base hit in the series and drove in only two runs. Dude goes 3-3 or 3-4 or 3-5 (I don't know what it was) with three singles and people give him shit. Not his fault the idiots that bat after him couldn't drive him in.
Hideki Matsui had a similar five games.
In the Yankees' final at-bat of 2005, Matsui grounded out with two on. Rodriguez had already grounded into a double play earlier in the inning.
Of 11 runners the Yankees left on base, Matsui stranded eight. He was 4-for-20 in the series and had only one RBI, on a home run.Terrible.
All four Yankees homers in the series were solo shots.
Rodriguez, baseball's only $25 million-a-year player, batted .321 during the regular season, with 48 homers and 130 RBIs.
``It's disappointing because this was such a year of trials and tribulations for us. We played so well down the stretch, and to end in this fashion is disappointing,'' Rodriguez said.His agent write that down for him? Pretty complex sentence.
Sheffield hit .291 with 34 homers and 123 RBIs. Matsui batted .305, hit 23 home runs and had 116 RBIs.
George Steinbrenner once called Dave Winfield ``Mr. May'' after he went 1-for-22 in the 1981 World Series loss to the Dodgers. The Yankees owner may have some new names for some of his stars after their failures in consecutive postseasons.
Rodriguez was 2-for-17 and Sheffield had one hit in 17 at-bats in the final four games of last year's AL championship series while the Yankees were in the process of blowing a 3-0 lead against the Red Sox.
``You know we're capable,'' Yankees manager Joe Torre said after the loss to the Angels. ``It's always talking about the thumpers and all of the big things we can do.''
Same as in the ALCS collapse a year earlier, the Yankees didn't do much thumping.
At least a couple held up their end: leadoff man Derek Jeter batted .333 with two homers and five RBIs in the series, and Jason Giambi hit .421 with three doubles, although he drove in only two runs.Jeter still sucks
Rodriguez believes the Yankees are much better than they showed.
``This team has a lot of potential, and we'll be back,'' he said.
You'll only be back because you're making 25 mil a year. 25 mil a year ... shit, the possibilites.

Tangled Up in Blue
The Sox didn't make it, but I'm glad the Yanks are out.
cano is a rookie so lets wait awhile before we come to that conclusion //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif also how does jeter, who struggles to hit 20 home runs, never has 100 rbi's, maybe can hit in the low 300's, is an average fielder, and maybe an above average base runner, get so much money, and be held as such a great player?
