Matt Trowbridge: Soriano bashing makes no sense

Alfonso Soriano hits a Cub-record 14 September home runs, bats .320 with 27 RBIs and scores 22 runs to help Chicago go from worst in the NL Central to first. His reward: Soriano becomes the No. 1 scapegoat when Chicago gets swept by Arizona in the first round of the playoffs.

Even Steve Stone piles it on. Stone - perhaps the best baseball analyst ever - tells WSCR radio the $136 million man will never be the player who turns the Cubs around.
