sox-r-us Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Sammy Sosa said he grew up hitting the worst baseballs imaginable, so he doesn't look for differences in balls. "If you make good contact, it doesn't matter what kind of ball you hit—it's going to go out of the ballpark," he said. "It's a good question. Barry Bonds can give you more details." … Sosa said he enjoys melding into a more balanced lineup after years of being the focal point. "Those years we weren't winning, I was keeping Chicago very happy with all those [home run] numbers I had," Sosa said. "Now I've come to the conclusion we have a team that can compete, and I feel happier now because I don't have to go out there and kill myself." ================ Does this guy know that all of Chicago does NOT love him? He killed himself all these years for Chicago? hahahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good day for them is to get drunk, Sammy hit 2 hr's, and the Cubs lose... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 I guess I understand what he was trying to say - that maybe he put too much pressure on himself to perform when he was seen as the main offensice threat, but it sure comes off like self-love when you see it in print or in a sound bite. and not to throw fuel on the fire, but his face looked a little thinner coming into camp this year - those big jowls he's had the past couple years are gone....the arms looked a LITTLE smaller too.....hmmmmm.......
