I know he will never be a gold-glover...but he's so fast at times, it just really frustrates you when he doesn't put in the effort (this was before the game got out of hand, by the way). In other news, I sat in the club seats last night on the 3rd base side; the view was one of the best I've seen at that park. If you've never been to PNC Park, you should definitely take a trip out there. You can buy tickets the day of the game typically with no problem (unless there are fireworks...they're a simple people out here).<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('40021','JayBandit'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('40021','JayBandit','Edmonds may have had a slight miscue last night, but Soriano looked like he was jogging out there on the ground-rule double right in front of the 410 sign.

He was a spectacular pick-up. Like this really awesome couch somebody had just thrown away we found by the curb in college. Note to Hendry: When we moved out of the apartment that summer, the couch didn't come with us. Just wasn't worth the effort. Never really regretted it. Just something to think about. Also it isn't surprising he's great at judging balls off the bat--he has spent his whole career having to learn how not to just judge where to break for a ball but also exactly when to break such that it looks like the most difficult catch possible. By now, just trying to time it so he catches the ball should be cake.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('40020','any major dude'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('40020','any major dude','I agree with you re: Edmonds.

If you want to look at a team poised to make a big improvement from one year to the next, look at their record in 1-run games. If they're considerably worse in 1-run games than games decided by 3 runs or more, they're probably the victims of bad luck. Dusty, believe it or not, has been very lucky this year.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('40014','T.J.
