or Matt Murton's jock...from Will Carroll (we'll lay off today - his mother is having issues so instead of ripping, we should maybe think about a prayer - seriously):
I've often been accused of being both a homer for the Cubs and of always being down on them. They probably go hand in hand more than you'd know. So I'll surprise everyone and be a bright ray of sunshine for the Wrigleyville residents today--Alfonso Soriano isn't likely to miss much beyond the minimum. As we said just after the injury, it was probably the best possible scenario aside from Soriano not being hurt at all. The quad strain is healing nicely and while the minimum is pushing it a bit, Soriano is good at not overextending himself. I mean that in a nice way, that he's smart enough not to push things so far as to reinjure himself. (Who was it that criticized him for not hustling earlier this year, not realizing he was under orders not to run hard?) Even at far less than full-go, Soriano can help the ballclub, though his status as leadoff man might be the bigger question.

Steve Stone frequently criticized him for not hustling. He took great pleasure in referring to his "hamstring of convenience."
