I was listening the Cubs WGN broadcast and listening to Santo when Soriano misplayed those balls was an absolute riot. Especially the first.
Pat Hughes: He dropped the ball!
Ron Santo: OHHHHHH GEEEEEZZZZZZ!!!!!!!! NO! OH GOD!

The first one was a very high popup behind short, that he just flat out didn't hustle for.
The second, in the same inning, was from Yadier Molina. It was a deep fly to the warning track, and Soriano was playing in medium left. He cruised back, and the ball just kept carrying, and finally bounced off the warning track into the stands.
He didn't hustle for either one of them. This could be laziness, or his calf could still be hurt. Either way, it looked real bad on TV. Both of them.
