It never fails one way or the other you all bad rap Sosa I say Give the guy a chance, He was 16 when he signed with Texes, he was skinny, now he is 38 and 225 pounds, whats the big deal? Did he do steroids? who knows? Only he knows? The reason some people make it an issue is becasue Sammy seems to be stuck on himself. If any thinking person studdies Sammy or any sports figure who is dominican, they will realize that in learning English, they use the word "I" alot. Well, for God sakes, that doesn't mean he is Evil. And as for those who critisize Sammy for bringing an interpreter to Congress, come on man, he is not fluent in English, Remember, "Baseball Been Very Good To Me". The way you people twist things that people say, I dont blame him for bringing an interpreter, could you imagine if he slipped and said one thing and meant another. Sports reporters are bad enough, political reporters would have chewed him up and spit him out, not that most of you havent already. The facts are, nothing has been proven with the steroid issue, he is guily by association, He played during the time of steroid use by pitchers and hitters.
Picture this, your working long hours at work and you get home late every night, and your spouse accuses you of cheating, she knows your cheating, You know your not, you have really been working, She tells you "Prove that your not Cheating" Can you prove it? Come on people, give this guy a break> Let him play the game he loves with out the stupid politics. If he tests positive for steroids, kick him off the team. If he does not, than shut up and let him play. Or keep up the accusations and let history decide in the end that all you Hypocrits are really the spouse who always accuses there spouse of cheating, even if there not. And that the only reason you do this is to hear your own voice or see your own words in print, because the truly arrogant ones are you. geomessler
Why put Sammy in the same catigory as Bonds who has paper trails and McMuscle, Comon man. go accuse your wife,idot...That means you Eric Anderson. Good riddance to you Eric, you are a lousy writer. You strike out every day you try to write. Have you ever done wrong? or you always the right one in your life of relationships. I don't see sosa being arested like alot of superstars for intoxication or drugs, I see alot of accusations from people like you, I for one can forgive the guy for one or two mistakes, because I myself want to beforgiven in life, but people like you dont need to forgive because your never wrong you are always the accuser......George Messler

I'll bet he finishes the season 250 avg. and 30 HR. and 89rbi. O yea and you still suck Eric.

George. George. George. Where do I begin?

You my friend are the epitome of what is wrong with society these days -- you don't think before you speak. However, your epic post likening the act of adultery to a bunch of muscle heads hitting the juice provided a good laugh, so thank you for that.

The problem we have here is that you get your granny panties in a bunch as soon as you saw the word STEROIDS and you clearly didn't finish reading the article (might I suggest upping the dosage on your ADHD meds).

We could argue 'til the cows come home whether or not Sammy was indeed a card carrying member of the Steroids for Men Club, although anyone with 2 eyes and half a brain would say it's a forgone conclusion he's not just a member -- he's the president.

But if you read my article, you'll see there are 3 reasons I have banished Sammy from my favor. Steroids aside, this is still a guy who quit on his team and who got caught with a corked bat. Although I'm sure you'll say it was a sports writer like me who planted the cork is his bat.

So while you sit high atop your perch chastising us bad reporters for slamming a guy who is the poster boy for all that is wrong with baseball, I'll be here waiting to call out the next chump who thinks they can pull one over on the rest of us and disgrace the game in the process.

By the way, next time you post on someone's site, remember that spell check is your friend.

And if Sammy hits 30 home runs this year as you so boldly (and incorrectly) predict, I will personally bring you an autographed Sammy Sosa syringe for your collection.

Thanks for reading!

Eric, Eric, Eric, I must have struck a cord in you. You poor poor person, Accusing me of not reading your article, I covered everything you talked about that mattered. I too am a die hard cub fan. Regardless of spell check, my point was that you are still someone who can not forgive, which makes you the problem with society these days.

And Just as I said I am someone who can forgive.

Sammy is not getting arrested nor setting a bad example. He signs autographs, when other baseball players do not, the ones that would probably be part of a society that you ruled {with spell check}. I do not know what your religous background is but in mine I am taught we are not perfect, which in some cases allows one to see flaws in others better, such as I see in your point. Your point shows you built a wall which allows you to only see that wall with this issue, It took me about 2 weeks and I knocked the wall down, and I forgave sosa. As I said if it is proven he is doing steroids, than kick him out of the Majors and banish him from the hall of fame. Right now as of 5-03-07 Sosa is in the top 10 for Home Runs and RBI's His batting average is 267 and his OBP is rising..He was hit in the head by a Yankee pitcher so this might throw his timeing off a little for a few games. By the way did you pay that Pitcher to hit him? Thats how much hate comes through from your article. I am not the only one who sees this, read other articles from reportes like your self who bash Sosa, 8 out of 10 people reading them are backing Sosa not persons such as your self... Also, when the season is over and I am proven right about sosa you can give me that autographed syringe. Just as a side note you seem to be like those little guys about 5'5" and 150-160 pounds who have that little guy complex. Also medical supplys can cost alot so that syringe will help with the injection of my ADHD medicine. And all of tthose people who have ADHD that read this article please for give the Little Big Man Eric Anderson he is just upset that what I wrote and what he wrote in response just proves my point about him and his kind, and regaurdless of my spelling he is still a arrogant person who has problems forgiving. Please for give my Ebonics, I tried to write so that Eric would understand....Thank you for your time, George Messler

O and Eric, You Still Suck Oops,, I just droped my needle

May 11th, Sammy Sosa Average 278,,,,Home Runs 8,,,,,,,RBI 26,,,,,,,,OPS,,,,,,,894,,,,

Just reminding you, I am looking forward to that syringe.

O Eric, Sammy is about 11 homers away from what I said,

He is hitting 254-19HR and 84 RBI's, Now he may not hit 30 HR but that is because Texas does not want to pay him. In his contract he would get alot more money for 30HR and 100RBI's and so many at bats...Eric Eric Eric, I wonder if you have stock in Texas, sure is fishy. He will def. hit his RBI total, I think thoug since he had limmited play due to Texas management, You should still pay up. I am really looking forward to that autographed Sammy Sosa syringe for my collection. Although since Sammy has never tested positive and has never been brought up in any legal forum and since he did infact through an interpriter testify that he never did steroids, I find it hard to believe that you will ever find a syringe. Maybe you can retire from writing and look full time for that syringe. Because I know you have no instincts in baseball players. Especially since you were so wrong about Sammys year...Eric, Here is anther Bet I'll make you...If there is any team brave enough to look past people like you. And Sammy plays again next year, full time and healthy. I believe he will have his timing down and he will Hit 270 and 110 RBIs and 35 HR. I hope I get a chance for you to proove me wrong. NEXT TIME>...George Messler

Eric.
O forgive my spelling and grammer mistakes, I find it so hard to change from my Ebonic writing habbbbits....

O Eric Anderson Where Are you? Sosa 20HR 5 more RBIs O Eric, Eric Eric....Do you need my address>geo

Last time I checked, 20 HRs isn't 30 HRs.

The Rangers have 15 games left.

If you really think El Cheatador will hit 10 bombs in the team's last 15 games, then I have some great swamp land you might be interested in.

Find a new hobby. You're not cut out for baseball.

Cheers.

Now Eric this time you are guilty of what you accused me of, not reading my full comment. For Example "Texas does not want to pay him. In his contract he would get alot more money for 30HR and 100RBI's and so many at bats...Eric Eric Eric, I wonder if you have stock in Texas, sure is fishy."

My point is with the limited at bats he is getting, He is doing pretty darn good for being out of baseball for a year. And he would have hit 30HR if Texas management would have allowed him to play full time. Now it looks like Good old cheaten sammy will most likely finish with 100RBI's. And do you think MLB hasn't tested Sammy this year? If thats what you think then could you tell me who shot JFK, or Where are they keeping all the hidden UFO's. And have you not cheated on your wife or accused her of infidelity? To End this statement, I am just slamming home the point, Sammy made mistakes, so did you in your life. Was Steroids involved? Who knows, I do know one thing he is still playing and he did do pritty good for a year off. And as far as hurting your feelings when he left early the last game or for his bad judgement with the corked bat. I hope your never faced with a situation that you do something wrong. And you have to decide to tell tell the truth, to someone you dramitized something to. The Human thing to do is to get defensive, and protect your self, you go into self preservation mode, now multiply that wrong X10 and you have what Sosa went through with his mistakes (Proven mistakes) He reacted wrong, like most humans do, You though will never have to worry about that though, will you Eric. Because you never made a mistake that you would need to be forgiven for...
Sammy Sosa 255avg. 20HR 90RBI's Not bad, check Frank Thomas Stats. Look familure????? Who was more right??? Will you answer that honesty? Ebonics and all?
