Roast

Very true..so, why isnt wilsons number retired?

I couldnt find it...only found the teams you have to pay for.

Dempster is truely a hilarious man. I saw him at the caravan and he had the whole crowd (that was old enough to know about/remember harry caray) gasping for air.

I'm pretty sure thats my favorite post of yours. ever.

Holy.... Z looks like he pumped iron all off season. ALL off season, I dont even think he took time to eat. Excuse me while I go worship.

Which is exactly why he won the 1999 Jackie Robinson Humanitarian award for his work in his home country of the Dominican Republic after Hurricanes destroyed it. Right? Look at the pictures I posted above, and then try to honestly write that ignorant trash again. Everyone knows Sammy had an ego. But idiotic statments like "he only cared about himself" are totally untrue and uncalled for. And honestly, can we all just stop with the "beisbol has ben berry berry good tu me" stuff. Okay, so the man speaks poor english, thats what happens when you are born and raised in another country. When people resort to bashing sammy because of his thick accent it not only shows an extreme ammount of ignorance, but its pretty telling of the fact that they just dont like him, and need something to bash him about.

Didnt he get in trouble for drugs or something? Everyone knows I love sammy. Alot. Alot alot. But when it comes down to it, Sammy Sosa was the best offensive producer this team has ever seen. He played a large part in making the game we all love into what it is today. Sosa's 1998 season is most likely the sole reason I am a Cubs fan today. Sammy's list of accomplishments is astounding. -Only player with back to back 60 HR seasons -Only player with 3 60 HR seasons -5th on all time HR list (Aaron, Ruth, Bonds, Mays, Sammy...good company, huh?) - (most likely) Finishes his career only 12 HR shy of 600 -33rd on the All time RBI List -32nd on the All time SLG% list -Carried the entire cubs offense on his back in 98, took us to the playoffs -Carried the dead corpse of a 2001 cubs team within inches of the playoffs -2001 season is still one of the best single performances in baseball history -1998 MVP The list goes on. Sadly, Sosa's legacy will be stained by the corked bat incident, and rumors of steroids. In all reality, his explination of the bat incident is very believable, especially since none of his other 70-some bats were corked. And those steroid rumors, are just that, rumors. The front page of espn today made me want to throw up "put a cork in him." Talking of how the $500,000 offer was a slap in the face to his huge ego and how he found it below him to even come back and try for 600. Sad, because if he did come back, I can just immagine how many people would say its time for him to hang it up, and that he was only out to pad his career numbers, and his ego. Sorry espn, you probably wont have another milestone to chase, i guess thats more time for you to stay in Jeters jock. But for me, there are a million things about Sammy I'll never forget. For one, I was at the game in 1999 where he hit his 60th HR, I had a HUGE sign reading something along the lines of "Hey sammy, give me a birthday Blast with #60", he saw me waving the sign and did his famous little chest tap finger kiss thing to me. Awesome. Another would be when he tied big mac with 62 in 98.. chips call "MOVE OVER BIG MAC, YOU'VE GOT COMPANY" still gives me chills. His hop after every homerun, an ego trip its not, plenty of players do something similar, hell, Lee does it, his was just so memorable. So Sammy. For me though, those all come in a distant second to this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v429/KingJME/sosa_zoom.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v429/KingJME/sosa_flag.jpg In the first game after the Sept 11 attacks in 2001, he ran onto the field in typical sammy fashion, only this time, he had an american flag and ran out holding it up, and after his first hr, he rounded the bases with the flag. That was my favorite sammy moment ever. So amazing.

He is also a poor writer: Wow, thats terrible.

I agree. And whatever turned sosa from the best player in cubs history, to not even being able to find a team to sign with should burn in five different hells.

He looked good @ the caravan

Well, If this is indeed the end, So long sammy... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v429/KingJME/SosaBackground.jpg This is back from when he got traded, but still appropriate. I still really hope he can catch on somewhere and get his 600th.

I'm hoping its just an unflattering picture. Iunno...Looks like he has a nice spare tire going there.

YES YES YES

YAYAYAYAYYAYAY TODAY TODAY TODAY Now if only i wasnt sick as a dog i could enjoy this more :x

No. Dunn will still be awesome and i'll still love him. Whether he's signed or not.

TOMORROW! WOOOOO

Deuce days!

So, tell me. What is it like to work in heaven? Do you get to meet any/all of the (living) players enshrined there?

Yu Kno wut DuDE i Dont wunn here abOut hoW SmArt you B. Ivebeen up For liKe 20 HoUrs stRaiGht now...... :cry:

HOORAY. Its almost here. So close i can freikin smell it!

Personally, I think this would look quite nice Milton Bradley Todd Walker Derrek Lee Brian Giles Adam Dunn Aramis Ramirez Ronny Cedeno Michael Barrett Pitcher But thats just a dream.... *sigh*

I'll be encouraged to see him walking, personally. Of course then chances are he'll trip over a pebble and blow out his shoulder in the fall. Anywho, still, 5 days, cant wait.

Z perfection. We better sign him forever.

Theres only one person who can kick The Farns butt. And thats Farns.
