Specifically, these two stank
A followup on the previous post, in which I complained about Yahoo.com's live play-by-play of the Dodgers game reporting vaguely that the Cubs' Alfonso Soriano "popped out to shallow right center" in the seventh inning instead of saying which fielder caught the ball.
The ball was caught by second baseman Blake DeWitt. Because we know that, we're able to point out that the the Dodgers won the game in part because they kept Cubs No. 1 and 2 hitters Soriano and Kosuke Fukudome from getting a batted ball past the infielders.
Soriano had two strikeouts and three pop-ups. Fukudome had a strikeout, two ground outs and a ground ball that clattered off third baseman Casey Blake for an error.
