Has anyone noticed, he's been playing like sh1t ever since that corked bat incident.

Has he even hit one out in the series ?


I think ever since his cheating ways have been discovered, everything has been off.

He's hit 2 home runs in the past 2 games.....I think you're a little more off then Sammy seems to be.....

lol yeah, 40 HR, 103 RBI, and 2 homers in the last 2 games, he SUCKS! ;). granted he hasn't hit fewer than 40 since '97 but that's still a pretty impressive offensive year.

His bat looks like a huge freaking club lol. You look at sosa and then look at alou and they are both very different people batting wise. I like alou a lot more than sammy though.

Before the corked bat incident he was recovering from an injury.

Well his bat broke the other day and no cork was in it so I am thinking not a fluke.

I've never been a fan of Sosa after that offseason where he gained like 70 pounds and became a power hitter. You can't gain 50+ pounds in under a year of solid muscle (using "conventional" means). It's impossible (interpret that however you wish).

Sosa is a legit player. Corked bat or no corked bat, the guy has incredible power. (a corked bat doesn't do that much for you... it doesn't add 50 feet to your longballs, despite what people think)

And a body full a Roids? I wouldn't have thought about it, but when he came out all against Roids, and said the majors should be tested, then when the writer from SI (Riley) asked him to take a test, and he subsequently blew up in his face and said no way. Makes you wonder?
