I don't get that warm and fuzzy feeling when he comes in, it's almost like an accident waiting to happen, but as you said he's been effective. I don't think we'll see Mo at all this year, last I heard he hasn't even had the operation yet.

But a 1-2-3 inning once in a while would be nice.

GottaGoToMo Posts: 33,271	Soriano is going to have to last through October ... I doubt very much if Mo is going to be back by then ... he hasn't even had his surgery yet.
