Whats in the bat, Sammy?

Re: Whats in the bat, Sammy?

You know what would be best, if Sammy hits a homerun in his next game and saws the bat in half right there and there is no cork, that'd be great.

This is outstanding, finally there is proof that Sosa is cheating, if his career stats werent evidence enough we now have his corked bat, I always thought it was roids but a corked bat is good enough for me. In 1998 he bested his career high in home runs by 26!! and also hit over .300 for just the second time in his entire career. I think it should taint his image more than everyone is saying it should I mean look at the numbers. In 1990 he hit 15 HRs in 532 ABs, fine, he was still a young kid 21 years old only 183 career ABs before that season K/BB ratio 150/33, but still most of todays sluggers showed some signs of life aka 20 or more homers their first full season in the league. 578 ABs combined in the 91 and 92 season 18 homers total in those 2 seasons. 93-97 here are his home run numbers 33, 25, 36, 40, 36. Established himself as a decent power hitter, still had a hideous eye and strikes out a ton but was an OK player. 98 has a ridiculous year and hit 66 homers gets the OPS over 1.000 when his career high was .887.
Something happened between then end of the 97 season and the beginning of the 98 season and it wasnt hitting the weight room and drinking lots of milk. It now looks like the idea came into his head that this was a good idea and he went from decent power hitter to superstar almost overnight.

Man that post showed me something. I really thought that players could get better throughout the course of there careers through practice(especially Sosa who always had the physical talent to be a great HR hitter but his strikezone was ridiculously big), but obviously that isn't the case. If a slugger gets better, he is using steroids or corked bats. Sheesh!

Not a big Sosa fan, but that logic is waaaay screwed up!

You don't know that for a fact. No matter who you are you still care about records like that. Athletes don't always tell the truth. A lot of the stuff they say isn't what they feel, but what they think they should say.

I'm sure Bonds wants a ring more than a home run record, I can't even come close to thinking the same of Sosa. Of course that's just my opinion and you're right I don't know it for fact, but it is certainly the impression given to me.

Re: Whats in the bat, Sammy?

I really think every player wants a ring more than a record. You guys act like Bonds was disappointed to get this record.

The simple fact is Bonds keeps to himself w/ his own recliner and TV in the locker room (cheap shot haha) so no one knows what the hell is goin on w/ him.
