"Soriano was hated by almost everyone in Tampa Bay last year"-NYDN

Bill Maddon of the New York Daily News teased about Soriano's attitude last week. None of us who watched the team daily bought it. Here is his follow up with some evidence. I'm shocked.

Why does a NY writer have the scoop on our lame beat writers?

Here is a quote.....

" The final straw was the last game of the season - Game 5 of the ALDS versus Texas - when Maddon asked Soriano to pitch the ninth inning with the Rays trailing, 3-1. After throwing a tantrum in the bullpen in front of all his fellow relievers, Soriano trudged into the game and promptly gave up a single to Nelson Cruz and a game-breaking homer to Ian Kinsler" Bill Maddon New York Daily News
