That ought to be a treat, seeing Sosa removed from the game for 3 years and trying to play again. I might pay money to see that happen. Ought to be a pretty funny sight. Something like Willie Mays' last year with the Mets. Actually it was pathetic!

Memo to Sammy:

When no team will even give you a minor league contract, you do not have to retire.

You are retired by default!

What a delusional egomaniac.

If you take Sammy's numbers from last year, they would be better than every player on the Sox this year except Quiten.
Why not stick around a little longer?

I couldn't have said it any better! What a joke, he just doesn't get it! Retired by default, no need to do what MLB has already done, put a final nail in your coffin!

Sammy gave Cubs fans years of cheers... Had a good year in 2007 for Texas, got benched for kids to play or would have driven in 100 runs... Couldn't believe no team wanted to toss him a contract in 2008...

hey sosa haters. is the league any fun to watch now? No, bc Sosa isnt fn up your fav team with his 609 hrs. By the way 90% of cheaters are pitchers. Dont hate Sosa just because he was one of the best in the era.

Daily Horoscope for January 4

Taurus

If your goals are fairly modest in the short term, they are achievable and you're likely to get some praise for achievements along the way. If you aim too high too quickly, others might not take you seriously or think you're being uppity and you could come unstuck. It's all a question of attitude and approach. There are contradictory influences over the next ten days but there could also be good luck coming your way.
