Nomar goes to bat for Sammy

Re: Nomar goes to bat for Sammy

Here's the thing: If you look at his stats before 1998, they were ALL like last year. 94, 95, 96, 97... they were all just like 2004. And he was all bulked up back then, so it didn't have anything to do with muscle.

He changed his stance and his approach at the plate in 1998 and became much more patient, and you saw what happened.

Then last year, he went back to coiling the bat over his head Julio Franco-style and started swinging at everything again. And his numbers went right back to where they were before 1998.

Why? Who knows.

Well since Torrez plunked him he has never been the same. He stands so far away now. Believe me when I say I would do anything to have this team win. As bad as the Sammy situation is there is something that overshadows it. The manager. Do you hear the garbage that come out of his mouth. I cant see how we can win with him as our leader. He is the farthest thing from a leader I have ever witnessed in baseball. Oh well life goes on

Re: Nomar goes to bat for Sammy

I agree, i like sammy sosa, he's not really the problem. He's not the sammy of the past but still deserves respect for what he's done. However his days as a cub are over after this year. Thanks for the memories.

Dusty cannot control his team. The cubs would do good to get rid of him. Says the dumbest things, poor bullpen handling...how much are we paying this guy again.
