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? 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. 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.
