clujer420 Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 It doesn't help the Sox in the standings. Maybe we're all conceding that the season is over -- we blow a 1-0 lead, and the majority of discussion is about a guy on another team. Sadness.

aboz56 Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 I agree, it's ridiculous how much we are talking about Sammy, this is SoxTalk, not Scrubs talk. We have games to win, our season, although it is currently a train wreck, is not over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubKilla Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 We have games to win, our season, although it is currently a train wreck, is not over. Yeah it is..... '03 ended for me about a month and a half ago and I haven't looked up in the standings ever since. I'd be ecstatic if this team could just get back to .500 but I'll probably have to wait until September before that happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have games to win, our season, although it is currently a train wreck, is not over. How many different ways are there to say we suck? OH gee we could talk about who needs to be fired again? Or how bad someone does or doesn't suck? This team sucks, there is nothing more to talk about that hasn't been beaten into the ground already.

JTC2784 Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 Well it is the biggest story in baseball right now, and just because we're across town from where it happened, I don't think we shouldn't be allowed to talk about it, especially since the national sports media has covered nothing but this story since it happened.

I didn't say we shouldn't be allowed to talk about it. It IS huge story, and I agree that it should be a topic of discussion here -- especially when you consider there are many very intelligent people who come here, and it's nice to hear their opinions of this whole situation. My point is that it's sad that we get so happy about someone else's failures and misfortunes. I guess that's what it's come to though, since we can't seem to do anything right in '03.

Steff Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 My point is that it's sad that we get so happy about someone else's failures and misfortunes. Failures? Misfortunes? Correct me if I am wrong but aren't failures and misfortunes things that are usually uncontrollable? Usually not caused intentionally BY the person trying to succeed or create fortune for themselves? Sosa brought this all on himself. He lied. He cheated. He is a fraud. I don't worry about or feel sorry for those kinds of people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 Steff....agreed. He is stupid enough to not seperate his corked bat from his game bats in some way shape or form, and he is too stupid to realize that the corked bat had a little 'C' on it. In another note, I found out something very funny. On the Yahoo! poll about Sosa's corking, about 65% of the people that took the pole did not believe his excuse.

Soxfest Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 Sosa is a liar, as far as Sox talk, Lets see say lose again , do not score , look horrible , people can only write this so many times since MARCH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't worry about or feel sorry for those kinds of people. Sure, he cheated -- but he's getting hammered for something that many other players do -- maybe even some on our team. That doesn't make what he did right -- but it also shouldn't make him public enemy #1. He got unlucky, bottom line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So where does this happy about someone else's failures and misfortunes come into play. He caused the problem. End of story. He knew the risks. He took the risks. How's it go.. you play, you pay? Don't do the crime if you can't do the time? Etc, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTC2784 Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 The thing that's sending everyone in a frenzy is that he was recently found to be baseball's #1 most marketable player, as many of you probably have heard at least rumors of. The fact that baseball's #1 most marketable player is a "cheater" makes headlines like none other for papers looking to sell more copies and for networks like ESPN looking for more ratings. It's a combination of the times we're in (in terms of media coverage) and the person it happened to that's exploding in Scam-me's face.
