He is getting the chance and it failed in game one against te D-Backs. Maybe though through no fault of his own. I was actually thinking on a full time basis

LMAO after Tossing Salad: Another prison act where one person is forced to basically chow asshole with the help of whatever condiments are available, i.e. Jell-O, olive oil, etc. I'm never going to prison.

LMAO JR has to be the happiest guy in town. Sox fans have something to smile about

I liked Rick Telender on Baseball Tonight. I also happened to agree with him. If Shammin' Sammy's story is the truth, he is the world's biggest dumbs*** for not marking that bat. He's an adult, he knew dam well that bat was corked when he went to bat and had the entire story ready to go if he got caught. I would like to know when he started cheating. "White Sox outfielder Albert Belle in 1994." At least they didn't ID Sammy as a White Sox outfielder . . .

McClelland gave the part of the bat he saw to security, who took it to the umpires locker room so it could be handed over to major league baseball officials. But a Cubs batboy took the other part, and McClelland said he doesn't know what happened to it. He also said that, based on where the cork was, he thinks it was injected, not stuffed in a cavity that had been drilled out. "It had to be injected," he said. "I'm not a scientist, so I'd guess it was injected and solidified." McClelland planned to call in a report of the incident to his supervisor Tuesday night and then send a written report Wednesday morning. After that, all decisions will be up to the commissioner's office. end quote from cnnsi.com Hmmm, injecting a banned substance. He felt like he was at one with his bat. How would you inject cork? Home run call for Sammy Pop the cork! This ones outta here!

I'm betting it was situational. In this at bat he was pretty certain to get a pitch to hit. No reason to use the "hot" bat with no outs and no body on. I'll bet having 3 home runs less than Valentin at this point in the season had him looking for some help. What also is interesting is according to the umpire the cork seemed to be injected not drilled and filled. Seems as if Sammy couldn't stop shooting up.

:fyou strike out

Valentin is my PTC. Do I get points for bb?

miller lite commercials.... taste great.... less filling.......and cut to him and his corky bat......... lol

Bet he ends the inning on first.

If he wants more he needs to cork his bat and swing for the fences . . .

With another hit E-Lo could be the pick to click! Dam I wish I had thought of it.

E-Lo we got one run for ya. Good luck. Pitch well.

You know that soooo many players are loving this . . . At least Palmero puts lead in his pencil . . . Hey maybe that could be Samme's next gig for Viagra. Needed a little more wood

This was all a misunderstanding. After running off at the mouth for the 200th time his agent told him to "PUT A CORK IN IT" he just was confused.

Didn't Sammy have a domestic problem that involved a bottle? Could this be the left over cork?

Doesn't matter if it's his only one. His excuse is bulls***. Why would you want a lighter bat in bp? He also said he only uses it in exhibitions. Keep workin' the spin Sammy.

stolen base, timely hit!? Maybe we should be in the NL

KW and JM are defensive with their excuses

E-Lo is batting .178 for his career. Hell he can bat 2nd in this order

I am so stupid. I wathcing the box score wondering why they have E-Lo in the batting order

:fyou Couldn't score another f***ing dp

Other Cubs who corked I love piling Colorful Cardenal, a cousin of longtime shortstop Bert Campaneris, played for nine teams in 18 major-league seasons. The Cuban immigrant couldn't crack San Francisco's outfield and was traded to California following the 1964 season. He finished second in the AL in steals (37), showed good range and a strong arm in center field, but also developed a reputation as a moody player. After two subpar seasons, Cardenal was shipped to Cleveland. He led the Indians in steals twice and tied a big-league record for outfielders by making two unassisted double plays in 1968. Traded to the Cardinals in 1970, he hit .293 with 74 RBI. In a 1971 season split between St. Louis and Milwaukee, he drove in a career-high 80 RBI. Finally reaching the Cubs in 1972, Cardenal stayed for six seasons. As the Cubs' right fielder in 1973, he led the team in hitting (.303), doubles (33), and steals (19). He was named Chicago Player of the Year by the Chicago baseball writers. In 1978-80, he played for the Phillies, Mets, and Royals, ending his major-league career batting .340 down the stretch for Kansas City and starting two games in right field during the 1980 World Series. Cardenal retired after the season and later became a major-league coach with the Reds, Cardinals, Yankees and Devil Rays after retirement. In 2001, Cardenal was accused of using a corked bat by Pete Rose, his teammate on the 1979 Phillies and himself the subject of innuendo. "I did have a corked bat one time," Rose told ESPN's Jayson Stark. "You know who corked them? Jose Cardenal. I never used it in a game. But we'd come in the clubhouse in Philly, and Jose Cardenal would be corking bats. You'd hear the drill going -- zizzzzzzzzzzz. But I never used none of them bats in a game." (ME/JGR)

LMAO I'm planning my calls to all my old buddies in Chicago I figured he got lucky with the steriods I never guessed he corked.

Strikes out the side. How about 20 tonight!
