Anyone else cheering for Sammy Sosa?

WCBias · Mar 15, 2007

I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but I hope he kills it this year. The steroids thing doesn't bother me, never did. I have friends in Chicago that hate the guy and think he is a bum, but he can't be any worse than having a can like Brian Giles starting in right field (Boy he sure has lost a lot of weight since the late 90's)

Go Sammy, hope you hit 73 this year and pass all your drug tests!

I am, so I can dump all of his dogshit rookie cards I got stuck with. I can pound my Palmiero's up my ass at this point...pointing at the steroid investigators like that. He's not even a good actor.

I agree. Roids were legal for most of these players careers, yet it seems to be a disqualifier for the hall of fame. What gives. As if roids helps hand/eye coordination. It's ok for football players to get bigger, stronger, and faster, but not for baseball players in the 80's all the way up through the 90's when roids were legal.

Sammy is having a monster spring....I am rooting for him.....

NO

steroids, corked bat, what else do you need to not pull for a guy

Anti-liberal · Mar 15, 2007

At least Sosa stands for the national anthem (Carlos Delgado) and I'll never forget him sprinting out to right field with an American flag after 9/11...hell of a classy move.

His rookie cards getting back up to pre-roid-controversy prices would help to offset the housing slump.

I agree. It's as if all the anti-steroid fans and media types think their childhood heroes would have never doped up. They all would have done it just like todays players. THey did anything for an advantage then, just like the players of today.
Don't even get me started on the fact that it wasn't against the rules and everybody, including fans and media knew it was going on.

hope sosa makes the team then bats .205 with 140 Ks to expose himself once again as the fraud that he is.

Yeah, I wish him well as well.
Mac and Sosa gave me a lot to cheer for in 1998, gave me tons of baseball thrills, what they may or may not have taken is not important, the memories those two gave me I'll take to my grave.

TonyMar · Mar 16, 2007

Ironic how humble he is now...maybe that incentive-laden joke of a deal he took had to humble him...

Do not think many Cub fans can forget the way he left town...and then did not have the "stones" to tell the truth about it, even when it was on tape.

So no I am not pullin' for Sosa.

That's what surprises me the most...apparently media and fans didn't know these guys were on roids. They thought that they were natural and were just lifting weights. That's how they thought McGuire got to 270 lbs with steroid acne all over his face. A free pass has been given to the pitchers who never complained about pitching to these juiced up hitters. THey were hopped up on roids and uppers.

You'd be surprised at how naive the average person is when it comes to judging whether or not someone is on steroids. There are some internationally competitive bodybuilders, both men and women, who work out in my gym and intelligent, successful people still ask me sometimes if I think they those bodybuilders are on steroids. The average person is ready to take the word of a Mr. Olympia if he says he doesn't do roids. People are really that naive about this.

I think they pretty much started roiding up in the early '70s for sports. That's when you started seeing huge arms on the football players and the wrestlers were getting huge as well. Before that, 220 lbs. was a big deal it seems.

Really I kind of enjoy it when A$$holes fail but really Sammy is a fun guy that enjoys the game, I hope he hits 40+

Antonioli · Mar 16, 2007

I don't know anymore... Did Clemens use it? How about Tejada? Some say Pettitte... I just felt it was unfair to those who never took roids. Syaing it wasn't illegal at the time is ludicrous, does it mean you were dumb not to take it.

sherwood · Mar 16, 2007

Sammy is a jerk. He'a a liar, a fraud, and just a plain bad human being.

I can't stand that prick and hope he makes it and then strikes out 300 times and hit .086.

What a jerk

Anyone else cheering for Sammy Sosa?
