Harry Chappas Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 So I am watching the news this morning on channel 9 and they had a little part of his speech on. His remarks were incredible as he stated to the reporter, "knock off the bulls*** this team needs me." He then went on to say, "I don't care how good THEY did, they need ME." There was no mentioning of how well they were doing and now they would go even further. Man this guy is a headcase. If anyone on the Sox said this it would be headline news. He was completly serious and pissed that someone would suggest this. He was also wearing a winter cap yesterday when it was 70 in the shade. Friggin joke.

Steff Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Hmmm I wonder which is bigger Sammy's Ego or Frank's Ego? Well, Frank hasn't called himself God or made comments like this one. He has a little bit of class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubKilla Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 And ShamME needs his steroids..... as evidenced by his decline in power numbers this year. Chicagoan's that call themselves Cub "fans" deserve an asshole like this as their team leader. We have Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTC2784 Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 More along the lines of Sam-Me's absence... anyone else following his potential for "leg injuries?" Excuse me, but can't you ride a stationary bike (even with no resistance) with an incapacitated toe? What's this about his "honeymoon" with his wife? I don't know about any of you guys... but (as an NCAA athlete) when I'm injured, I do ANYTHING I can to try to maintain any skill I can... for example... I couldn't do so much as rub one out without getting a headache this past winter because of a concussion that kept me out of hockey for 2 months... but I'd do little things like juggle or something along those lines to keep up at least my hand-eye coordination so that I wouldn't have as much trouble returning from the injury. Sure, I'd have more time because I couldn't go to practices or anything like that, but I wouldn't be bragging about it, spending more time with my girlfriend and saying "I'm on a honeymoon." The only crap I'd be talking about would be getting back in the game, and that's as a D-3 student athlete (where sports isn't the only thing I have to worry about). Then here's Sam-Me, out for 2 weeks with a toe injury (I won't comment on the injury itself....) calling it a "honeymoon" and acting offended when the team wins without him. I'm sorry for rambling and ranting, but that kind of s*** offends me as an athlete who will never make it that far. If you have that much f***ing talent (debate all you want, but he IS in the big leagues), don't piss it away. This is probably the only subject that'll ever get me this pissed.

Chisoxfn Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 If those are what he really said then that freaking sickens me. He should say that I was so proud to see those guy produce like that. I'm working hard to get back and help make this team even better so we can finally play some winning baseball in October. The team did a heck of a job now I'll help do my part. If I'm Hendry, I'd trade Sosa to the Rangers for Arod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTC2784 Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Sosa is not in Arod's world Agree... Arod can hit just as many homers (and blow just as many kisses or hop just as high) as Sosa, AND he plays gold glove calibur defense at SS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 I'm just saying if Texas wants to dump his contract. Cubs are one team that could probably pay that kind of money. All I know is I'd find a way to move Sosa. Heck, move Sammy to the Yankees for Alfonso Soriano (No way will it happen, but worth a shot). I bet they coudl do it for Jeter.

The Randy Johnson deal to Houston from Seattle was insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was Nick Johnson, Soriano, Mendoza and Ted Lilly. Instead they traded the left fielder I forget his name (Glenallen Hill?) for Ben Ford. Nice move but the goal is to fill seats not win games. I am glad they didn't make that trade as they would be going after Vlad now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still either way you can't tell me that you would rather have the one superstar versus all of that talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you misunderstood my post I thought the cub should have made that trade if they were serious but they are not they just want to fill the stadium.

BrandoFan Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Sammy is the type of a guy who would put monster swings on his 5yo kid's wiffleball in the backyard game....nothing worse than an aging ultra-competitive megalomaniac, especially in sports. Like Michael Jordan only more steroid-crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxplosion Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Nothing wrong with being competitive, just know when to be and when not to be. Sammy doesnt know that. The man is a nut. Look pal, the Cubs sucked with you but are great without ya! Can ya take a hint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 I am "SO-good-SA " is a conceited player and always has been. I don't think he plays for the team as much as himself. That's why the Cubs won't be in the playoffs when this seaon is all said and done. Of course with the way the Sox are playing that means two Chicago teams will be sitting in October.
