Sammy daydreaming, wishing he was still a Cub

 

fixed it up a bit

 

im glad he is back as well, hopes he makes the team and gets 600

[oldstyle81]

I'm glad Sammy is good at baseball again.

 

Best of luck to sammy, and I hope he has the courage this time, to come to wrigley. I'd hope he'd get a warm reception.

 

Yea, because it was his lack of courage that stopped the orioles from playing the cubs in '05.

 

You know, it didnt have anything to do with the way the schedule was made or anything.

 

He sat out of the series vs. white sox. Because of a "sore toe" or something like that. Have you forgotten that?

 

are you talking about that other team he played for? the one that isint the Cubs?

 

him not going there means nothing

Have you forgotten that the Sox don't play in Wrigley?

 

And Sosa has notoriously had a problem with his toe throughout his career, he had a problem with it when he was still on the Cubs. It wasn't something new he cooked up to get out of coming to Chicago.

SAMMYYYY

 

:cheer: :cloud9: :love:

 

I was waiting for you to show up in this thread!

 

I was too busy celebrating his 2-3, with a walk, 0 K performance to show up right away :-)

no one knows how bad a sore toe is untill you have one. i had a ingrown toenail and i couldnt put any pressure on it, let alone play baseball. i dont know what Sosa had but i have a general idea of the pain.

[Abe Frohman]

Man, I remember a few years back when Sosa had the nail taken off his toe. OUCH! You have to give him a little respek for dat!

Colvin says he gained 20lbs this offseason, but he sure looks smaller than I remember him from last year's CWS.

2. Bonds looking like an ass
