Lance Cormier got Sorianowned
Posted by: Richie Rich in Home Run of the Day, Pitching, Stats
Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Lance Cormier got his ass absolutely torched by the Cubs’ Alfonso Soriano tonight.
And I don’t mean your average 3 for 3 night against a pitcher.
I mean that Alfonso Soriano made Lance Cormier his bitch and made him like it.
Going into tonight’s game, Soriano was already trouble for Cormier and the Braves. Soriano has been heating up as of late (batting .469 with 3 HR in June before tonight’s game) and the Cubs are heating up right along with him.
And tonight, Soriano hit three Home Runs off Cormier. Never a doubt for any of them either.
That makes Soriano 5 for 5 against Cormier this week with (get this) four (4) Home Runs and a Triple. That’s merely a slugging percentage of 4.400 !
.
Lance Cormier is probably hugging his teddy bear and asking mommy Cormier to make the bad Dominican go away …

Even the sun shines on a dog’s ass every now and then. One night and you give a big post to this bust. C’mon Richie, I know you bleed Cubbie Blue, but don’t you think this is a bit of overkill?

C’mon GP. Yes, he’s definately overpaid, but overall he’s a pretty good hitter and (when he actually catches the ball) can gun them out from the OF. We are going nowhere, but would you just let us enjoy a few wins after what has been a debacle year so far?
Or, are you just bitter from having to watch that Sox bullpen?

Hey Greek.
That can be done.
Hat tip to Carlos Lee who did it back on April 13.
