Cubs lose again

It's downright painful to watch this Cubs team.  It seems like every chance they get to score a run here and a run there they just clam up.  With Alfonso Soriano on second, Tyler Colvin hit a routine fly ball to left and Soriano started running towards third.  He then looks out to left, right as the fielder is catching it, and what does he do? Keep jogging to third, then stop and watch as he gets doubled off.  Any other player would get benched, but not Soriano.  Lou Piniella didn't even say a word to him, almost like he half expected it to happen.  That is inexcusable.  Somebody needs to step in and change the whole atmosphere in that clubhouse.  It all comes from the manager, and Lou acts like he stopped caring two years ago.  What surprises me the most is bench coach Alan Trammell.  One of my heroes growing up for the Tigers, Trammell never took a play off.  He ran hard out of the box every time, no question.  He was a leader then, and should take this opportunity now to step up and fix this team.
