I'm sure that most of you have already heard that Sammy Sosa just got busted for using a "corked" bat. Question is -was it truely a misplaced batting practice bat or intentional. I think it was just a mix-up. I think Sammy is a sincere guy with no history of cheating. Hope the media doesn't bash him. What do you guys think? Cub's fans? Or am I the only one who keeps up on baseball stuff?
Thanks,
Ben ;)
 
Whether it was misplaced or not, he is going to be bashed by people. I just heard about it from my co-worker. I agree w/ you, I think he wouldn't do such a thing but you never know. It will blow over in a mater of time. Last time I think this kind of thing happened was w/ Albert Belle.
 
you guys are funny. Do you actually think you really know sammy Sosa? And what he would do or not do? I don't think so. You only know what you see on tv. People do almost anything when it some to $$. Which is what this is really over. More homers = more bigger contract. Period/
GUILTY
 
That is why I said "you never know". You don't know him either. If you do, get me an autograph.;) Either way, he is guilty, whether he meant to do it or not. I don't give a rats azz anyway 'cause I am a Cards fan.:D
 
I read they confiscated all of his bats, so if they check all those and they are corked then he's screwed.

Then again, MLB might keep it quiet because Sammy is important to the league and the sport.

GUILTY (of yesterdays game only, for now)


Red Sox
1918 World Champions
:mad:
 
You Cubs fans need all the help you can get from corked bats, maybe then you can win a world series;). Would love to see Cubs vs RedSox series though :) As for Sosa, guilty..
 
I think if the rest of his bats are corked his reputation is tarnished. If the rest come clean with no corking this will blow over.
 
Guilty. The guy makes a living with his bat. A pro player like Sosa can tell if a bat has had an ounce or two removed from the club head (which is what corking does). It will be fun watching how Sosa, the Cubs, Dusty Baker, Chicago Tribune, and company try to spin this.

Well at least he's not on steroids or anything. :rolleyes:
 
Guilty, guilty, guilty. Misplaced batting practice bat... oh, puhleeze. And they won't find anything wrong with his other bats because even I would know not to have more than one corked one at any given time.
 
Guilty,he's a pro for Gods sake. I grabbed the wrong bat. HA HA HA HA HA!!!!;) ;) ;) ;)
 
Why the hell would you want to use a corked bat in batting proctice?????

If he was smart, it would be the only corked bat he had there. Be kinda stupid to leave a bunch of corked bats lying around in the clubhouse/duggout where anyone could grab one. I think al previous players that were caught were found to just have the 1 corked bat at the stadium that day.
 
Who cares unlesshe's on the Yankees

Who cares he's not part of the most winning team in baseball the NY Yankees - is there another team?
Yankees - Hayadoin
 
Guilty, Hmmmmmmmm it makes you wonder when him and McGwire were battleing for the home run chase. Go Cards!!!
 
who really cares, he's not a wife beater or a child molester. he corked his bat. Persoanally i love to see these guys all drugged and to see how far they make the ball go.

All joking aside, barry bonds would have hid in a bunker but sammy stood on ESPN and took it like a man. They say if anything it may add 5 feet on to a good hit ball. Sammy hits his WAY over the fence. if the bat was for BP, maybe it has a different effect on a ball only comming about 70 mph. I work for the Pittsburgh Pirates, I see the day to day stuff at a MLB ball park. The problems in this league are way deeper than corked bats, the problem is the average fan. They expect way too much and are not satisfied with watching a baseball game, they want total entertainment. The only league on the whole that is still worth a damn is the NFL. MLB needs to look up the word UNIFORM!!! There is no need for pants at the ankles and some up, they should all be worn at the knees. The NFL, every player's Uniform is the same and if not they get fined. IMO the best sport to watch is college football.

Sammy is guilty in the facts but inreality i'll give the benifit of the doubt
 
Guilty

PS Wouldnt he know if he picked up the wrong bat before he got up to bat ? How come he found out after the fact ? I dont buy it
I think they should punish him and send him to play on the Mets for a few games.
 
HMM

Cool if accidentally doing things is ok lets see

Accidentally grab keys to new 500 hp Cadillac
Accidentally grab new Miss Universe sorry honey I thought it was you...
