I wonder how Sammy's doing?

[DCDiehard]

Sammy and Corey have fan reaction in common:

 

 

"Sosa watched the game from the dugout because of a slump that's lasted almost a month.

 

"Based on productivity, one could argue that the Orioles have gone without Sosa for a long time. But for the first time during his slump, he was held out of the lineup.

 

"Sosa, who has one hit in his last 34 at-bats, met for 35 minutes behind closed doors with Mazzilli and Vice President of Baseball Operations Mike Flanagan two hours before Saturday's game. When the meeting ended, the Orioles posted a batting order excluding the team's most famous slugger.

 

"I get a day off, two days off, three days off -- whatever it takes," Sosa said. Mazzilli "wants me to relax. I'm not the only one who has been there. All the good players get into a tough situation, but I'll be all right."

 

"Sosa is batting .213 since June 4, but his hitting struggles became especially worrisome during the past week. A legendary power hitter, Sosa hasn't hit a ball out of the infield since Monday night. He's hitless in his last 15 at-bats and, on Friday, Orioles' fans booed him heartily each time he came to the plate.

 

"A day after he was booed, Sosa seemed battered by the abuse. He bristled when asked if it bothered him to be benched ("It's one day. What's the big deal?") or to be booed ("I don't worry about the crowd."). His only focus, he said, is to shake out of a slump" -- Washington Post (excerpt)

lol i h8 sammy too lets rip him all the time

[YearofDaCubs]

And all of us thought Cubs fans were the only ones that booed. :)

[UMFan83]

I'm telling you, I think Sosa is done after this year. His pride and ego are shattered and he has nothing left.

Is there an echo in here?

[Adebisi]

Kind of had to see this coming. I wish I could say I was happy that we don't have to put up with all of this Sosa stuff on our side any more, but I seriously thought that getting rid of Sosa would lead to Hendry making the Cubs a much better team. Hendry didn't do much besides dump Sosa, and now the Cubs are painfully average. It's wasting all of our time to watch bad baseball.

Burnitz>Sosa

[rocket]

thank god we have burnitz instead of sosa, otherwise we'd be like 39-42 instead of 40-41

[XZero771679666304]

This is all pretty irrelevant. Burnitz is much better than Sosa at this point, but RF is among the least of our problems.

That's my point, kind of. Burnitz, Sosa, it doesn't matter. We suck either way.

And we understand that people dont like sammy, but do they have to continually start threads about him when his performance has absoloutley jack poop to do with ours?

Maybe it's that the O's are currently better with him than we are without him?

Not for long. They will catch clubhouse cancer.

I wasn't aware that topics that have jack poop to do with our teams performance were off limits....I'm interested in what Sosa is doing for two reasons:

 

1. to see if hendry made the right decision to get rid of him while paying his salary, as of now I think hendry made a good move

 

2. to see if it was just circumstances in chicago that made sosa look like a bafoon or has the man really changed into an egotistical monster

 

(btw Tim a spell checker might be a nice add on if possible! :lol: )

[fearthecubs]

I am curious as to what you all think of Sosa being benched? He doesnt seem nearly as upset as when he was dropped to 6th last year in the order. Is it possible even Sammy the Warrior realizes his days are numbered?

[AramisRamirez]

but sammy isnt breaking down or anything like that. i still expect him to finish the year with 72 HR, 137 RBI, and a .366 BA. sammy is going for the triplecrown this year!!
