We all love the Cubs, even if weekends like this one make us all consider jumping over to FDB2 simply to indulge in the "FIARA JIM HAENDRY!" madness. We all also hope that their young, legitimate hitting prospects (particularly ones that recently won Rookie of the Year) pan out. We all also hate PenFoe.

The simple fact is, after a mere 15 lackluster at-bats, PenFoe decided to cast aside any hope for Soto's 2010 season. Quoth- "SKO, I'm going to tell you something, and you may not want to hear it...Soto sucks." He then demanded that I present a "benchmark" OPS that I would demand of Soto by May 1st in order to consider him a success. I suggested that .775 (for a catcher, not bad) should be the benchmark, but in light of his recent hitting streak (which some of us foresaw), I'm going to say .800 is the bare minimum.

So here is my proposal: from here on out, for every day that young Soto has an OPS at or above .800, I suggest you all hurl that wonderful invective, "Fuck You Pen," here in this thread. I'll go first:

April 18th, 2010- .916 OPS

Fuck You Pen.

As much as I hate the Cubs, I will gladly turn on Penfoe if Soto continues to do well.

FYP.

So you're not going to propose that we feed on the carcasses of past Cubs catchers?

I'm a big supporter of Soto, regardless, so no matter what happens to our fearless catcher, Fuck You PenFoe.

His on-base is well over .500. Geo ain't the problem.

Suck on that-a one time, Pen.
