Sammy Sosa

[Spark]

has struck out 105 times in 366 at-bats this year.....

[Blackbeard]

Great, Now ya tell me. LOL. I got hammered today by stros longball, still think cubs have a great lineup

[statsman]

Sammy sucks. Don't know what the big controversy is over him batting 4th. IMO he shouldn't even be playing. Dusty just doesn't have the cocoNUTS to bench him.

[Marcus000]

Who would we replace Sosa with in the lineup? Goodwin? Macias? No thank you. Even with a bad year Sosa is putting up numbers that those 2 could never do in a full season. Its not a question of Baker being a coward, he just isn't stupid.

[Spark]

the league cracks down and starts testing for steroids and sosa's numbers go to sh*t...coincidence?

[mikeloblob]

yeah, and he doesn't look as bulky as before

[Blackbeard]

Yeah, but Bonds is still putting up the numbers, so who knows

[Spark]

Sammy the clown is overpaid, selfish, ego-maniac and a clubhouse-cancer..... and that is coming from a Cub fan...

[MtrCtyPimp]

give the guy a break......he gets paid to hit HR and hes doing just that with almost 30 and he missed some major time

also hes not gettin any younger.....Im not a CUB fan but I know enough that hes one of the streakiest hitters in the league and he can knock out 7 bombs in a week at any time

PEACE

You got it MCP.....

But it is amazing to me how we could still stick up for a cheater and a drug user... someone who has blatantly cheated and then lied and blamed the media after he got busted putting cork in his bat....

I will say no more except we do not need him on our team... he is a cancer!!!!!

[ats]

none of em could do what bonds does drugs or no drugs

Nobody seemed to care when McGwire juiced and hit 70 bombs...........till there is concrete proof nobody knows for sure

PEACE

Now what do you Sammy backers have to say??? He showed his true respect for his fans and teammates .... He is just a self centered selfish person .... I hope he never wears Cubbies blue again ...

[HUNGlikeabear]

I hope he overdoses on roids and ends up a large angry psycho with large tits

BTW
He costs his team more than he brings in with bad fielding and selfish play at the plate.

Sosa is overrated... Although Sosa has comparable production numbers since the break to before it , he has endured a steep decline in the all-important batting average category. He batted .279 in the season's first half, but has since seen that mark go south along with his spot in the Chicago batting lineup. This is the third straight year in which Sosa's batting average has dipped 43 or more points after the All-Star break, but this time, his .227 mark represents his lowest in any half-season in 13 years. He'll turn 36 in November, so it's possible his recent struggles indicate the beginning of a career decline.
