Where's the Sammy Thread?

[thedaymen]

Is Sosa such old news that an interview with the Tribune doesn't even get a thread?

Yes.

Yes.

 

Crap, you beat me to it.

Crap, you beat me to it.

 

Sorry. You can have the next one. :D

[UMFan83]

Judging by his comments, Sosa still doesn't get it. BTW, juding by his quotes, he has been practicing his English a lot since he 'retired'....

Sammy not wanting to discuss steroids? Wonder why? Did he think he was under oath at a congressional hearing and conveniently realized he didn't have the services of a translator?

 

Not surprising that he's a big supporter of Big Mac. Wonder what Sammy thinks about Big Mac's hearing performance and his failure to talk about the past.

 

Sammy's delusions are actually kind of sad. It's obvious he misses the limelight . However, why he thinks anyone would want the new slimmed down version of Sammy after no one did last year is beyond me.

 

It's better to go out too early (like Jim Brown ) than too late (like Michael Jordan, Willie Mays, etc.).

Maybe it's because they were (and possibly are still) friends.

I think he's just afraid of Big Mac's giant son devouring him if he is not pleased.

Could it be that he just didn't want to discuss Bonds and steroids, in response to the question about Bonds? Nope, it must be cause he's hiding something. That's why he didn't comment on Barry Bonds. Yep.

Possibly, but given all the speculation about his own steroid use, it was the perfect time to dispute those allegations and condemn the use of steroids and all other forms of cheating (except corking a bat of course). :lol:

And have you call him a liar for it. LOOK AT HIS HEAD!!!

"The city of Chicago knows about baseball; I am not a bad player—no way, Jose,"

 

Why is he bringing Canseco into this? :lol:

I think he started brushing up on his English ever since he needed an interpreter to speak to the congressional committee on steroids.

Agreed. Or maybe he didn't want to talk about Bonds because the point of the interview was to discuss Sosa being left off the Hometown Heroes list and not Bonds.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I believe it was sportsline.com, but there was a blurb about Hendry downplaying reports the club was going to bring him back. Where were these reports?

Interesting theory although he had no problem offering an opinion on McGwire's HOF chances even though that wasn't the "point of the interview."

Good point. The only thing I can think of is McGwire is Sosa's friend and Bonds isn't.

Well he did add this about Bonds:

 

I will just say Barry Bonds is one of the best players I have ever seen in my era."

[Andy]

I believe it was sportsline.com, but there was a blurb about Hendry downplaying reports the club was going to bring him back. Where were these reports?

From what I read, Hendry's body language blatantly indicated there was no chance of Sammy coming back.

The last 15 years has been the Sammy Sosa era? I keep forgetting that.

 

Quick, who is the best running back of the Sammy Sosa era?

His face said nothing, but his blubber-sack shook "NO!!!"

Roughly 1992-2003. I'd say Emmitt Smith.

 

This is a commonly used expression. I use it all the time.

I agree, I'm pretty sure Sammy was just referring to the time he's been in baseball and not claiming possession of the era.
