Boy, talk about being immature.  Today, Nationals "second baseman" Alfonso Soriano refused to play left field in an EXHIBITION GAME.  Just imagine what he will do when the regular season comes.

Soriano, acquired from the Texas Rangers in the offseason, is giving the Nationals fits, saying that he is not playing anywhere but second base.  This poses a problem for the Nats, for Jose Vidro is the incumbent at second base.

Soriano is in danger of being placed on the seldom used "disqualified list", which would make him the T.O. of baseball. Alfonso Soriano, for the money he's being paid, should do whatever the hell he's told to do, whether he likes it or not.  Chipper Jones played left field for the Braves when they told him to. Todd Hundley, back in the day, played left field for the Mets when he was asked to, and he was a catcher! He may be getting paid "big boy" money, but he's acting like a child.  SHUT UP AND PLAY.

After Livan Hernandez got lifted from the game on August 5th, he tossed his glove, hat and jacket into the stands.  Well the "fan" who walked out of the stadium with the glove decided it was worth $18k, season tickets next year, and playoff tickets this year.  Livan, thankfully, told him to cram it with walnuts.
