**disclaimer: I photoshop better than that. really i do!!

 

i didn't realize it was a photoshop until you said something.

At least you remembered he WAS a wildcard...I would've taken him over Murton 50 times over if it had occurred to me that he wasn't a grouped player. :shock:

 

I waffled between Sosa and Conor Jackson, then picked the latter. May be my undoing

[Butterscup1679666578]

I picked Edwin Encarnacion, which up until this point has proven to be useless in that pool.

 

 

PS. <3 Sammy.

[Bull]

O man!!! I missed the HR derby contest this year! ***disappointed***

[Jazz]

My Sandberg higlight came when I got to ask him a question on ESPN2's special during HOF weekend.

 

It was awesome!

 

i remember watching that!

Petition to make this the Sammy Update Thread?

 

Sammy's 0-2 today with a long flyout (thought it was gone, but caught the end of the bat) and a K. He's leading off the 7th.

[Larry Horse]

For God's sake, let it go.

 

He's not on the Cubs anymore.

 

The manlove for a proven cheater is baffling.

Looks like Sammy is causing a rift here at NSBB just the way he caused a rift in the Cubs' clubhouse.

Banks - played in the deadball era.

Sammy - didnt.

FWIW, Sosa was the only one of the 5 batters to face Papelbon and not totally embarrass himself - fouled off a fastball, then popped up to second. The others just looked plain stupid.

Fair enough. I was simply basing my statement on statistics. Sammy's are slightly better than Banks.

 

 

Also, I didnt know we considered the 50's-70's the deadball era? I always thought that was the 20/30's?

Yeah.. made a mistake.. but it was still a pitcher's era.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Sosa has a better OPS+ than Banks, both in career and in terms of peak years.

Does it adjust for STEROIDS?!?!?!?

 

[/turd in the punch bowl]

 

Considering it adjusts for eras and the latest craze is to accuse anyone who played baseball between 1985 and now of steroid abuse, I'd say it does. :D

[seanimal]

Sammy Sosa in his prime was the most enjoyable and exciting baseball player I have ever seen. I will never forget the joy he brought into my life, despite the disappointment that was the final year/2 years of his Cubs career.

 

He is a 1st ballot Hall of Famer and rightfully so.

 

This steroids thing is so stupid. People pretend that if, IF, Sammy was roided up, he was the only one doing it. If, IF, he was, it wasn't illegal when he was doing it, and he certainly wasn't the only one doing it. People so easily forget that the steroids ban was followed by a whole lot of pitchers losing velocity on their fastballs, not, as the 'experts' predicted, a decline in HR's hit.
