OK, I don't know if I'm in the majority here or not, but I just want 2 say this whole deal with Sammy Sosa being traded 2 Baltimore is just sad! It's all being done because of personal differences. OK, so maybe he didn't hit a zillion home runs last year like he usually does, but one bad year doesn't justify all this. When Ryne Sandberg had a bad year I didn't see any trade rumours around him. Obviously the Cubs wanted 2 get rid of him so bad they were willing 2 pay 2 have him taken off their hands. And 4 what - a corked bat? A sneeze? A loud boombox? Leaving the last game? A true Cubs legend is gone 4 stupid reasons IMO.

IMO , I disagree. Its a shame though , he will be remembered for these things and not the good he did.

He didn't bring the cowbell.

He is a cancer in the clubhouse and he is a liar not to mention he can't field and his batspeed is slowing down. Plus he makes a fucking boat load of money and is going to be 40 before the contract expires. The Cubs had no choice.

Sammy Sosa is one dimensional. Power hitter. And his numbers have been steadily going down since the homerun season. And he's much thinner. No roids. Cheater. Good guy. Just caught cheating and declining production in the one area you are good in equals goodbye in major league baseball.
