It is when a player hollows out his bat and puts cork in it - making it lighter and will hit more homeruns.

Sammy Sosa a loser?

There goes the value of my collectible Sammy Sosa beanie baby.

Loser.

http://www.leenoga.com/babynoga.gif -- Don't fuck with me Sosa!

The Cubs had runners at second and third when Sosa broke his bat with a grounder to second that at first appeared to drive in a run.

But crew chief Tim McClelland gathered with the other three umpires to examine the bat. Cubs manager Dusty Baker came out and the umpires showed the bat to him.



hahahahahahahahahahahaa

This is a conspiracy. The Cubs wanted to trade him, but the fan backlash would have been huge. Now they have a reason. HMMMMM.....

lol, but who would want him now? He just lost LOTS of value.

they should kick him out of baseball...Pete Rose gets kicked out for gambling on it but nothing that severe happens when somebody cheats in it?...crazy

You got a point. They should also take all of his home runs away from him!

no wonder he hits all these homeruns, what a cheater

Busted!

Just another reason for me to say... GO SOX!

No shit. That seriously casts doubt over all his previous achievements. His reputation is permanently tarnished.

Damn, the Cubs are my team. They were doing great this year. This is not good!

Why would the Cubs want to trade Sammy? Other than to save $$$

he was a donkey when he was with the Sox:1orglaugh

Just as they said on TV..... He's broken many bats before, and those were not corked. So this was something he very rarely did, or just now started.

So it's not very logical to say the 500 HR's were tainted.

he is old now.

I know same thing with Pete Rose and many of the other steroid boys. So I see your argument, he's been very fortunate and lucky. Im not buyin it but hey someone out there believes he was legit:helpme

And to top it off Sosa said it was his bat and he uses it for exhibitions but grabbed it by mistake. Lame and to boot he was 2-15 with 8k's against the Astros last weekend. YOUR DONE

Ina related story it's been discovered that Pamela Anderson has breast implants.

sosa is a loser for "cheating"

but why the fuck is it illegal to do that?

Take a rubber ball and bounce it off the ground, and then do the same with a ball shape made of wood:helpme

Its kinda like getting caught with a hitbot

BINGO!

lol, he is full of shit

take a rubber ball and enclose it in wood.. will not bounce

but what the fuck
theres all types of bats now made from different materials, aluminum, metal alloys, different wood, so who the fuck cares is sosa added his own material


whatever baseball is a shitty ass sport anyway

A lighter bat, with a more elastic core, makes it easier to hit home runs. Major League Baseball has very specific equipment that is allowed, and this is a big no-no... and a well known one.

He fucked up. He cheated, and the fans will remember that. The whole point of a *game* is to play within the rules. Otherwise, you're playing a different game.

so thats why he started hitting so many homers all of a sudden.

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/player...s?statsId=4344

looks like he started using it in 98.

Wrong. Cut open a golf ball sometime.

SpaceAce

Wow. Not a single year over 40 homers until 98 when he suddenly hits 66 and just stays up in that area from then on.

SpaceAce

that plus the steriods

ya, at least mcguire was hitting homers since his rookie year. sosa just came out of nowhere in 98.

I took a middle-round flyer on sosa that year.....paid off nicely

yup, there is your proof.

And just to be fair, the big difference I noticed at the time was that Sammy quit swinging at everything he saw and became much more selective. He always had massive power, but his plate discipline was atrocious until '98.

well he already made his millions toooo bad

well still, fuck him and his cheating ass.

yes kain the fuckhead

he is on espn live right now

lol, he says the corked bat was for batting practice - LOL

why the hell would you need a corked bat for BP?

what a fuckhead

he should end up with a 12 game suspension and his bats should be subject to inspection at anytime.

12 would be doing him a favor

it would be the longest suspension due to a corked bat.

They should have took all his bats out of the dugout an checked those also.

It sucks that he cheated like that. Honestly I don't think he's been using one the whole time, he's been in a bad slump since coming off the DL, maybe he was looking for an edge.

To say that he's a shitty hitter because he used a corked bat is ridiculous.....there's a lot more corked bats out there than you realize, and the people talking shit right now probably couldn't make contact with a 90mph+ fastball with a whiffle ball bat.

Albert Belle got caught corking his bat once, and he hit a shitload of homers afterwards.


BTW, I agree, cheating is bad, no excuse for it, but it doesn't mean Sosa is a bad hitter, nor do I think it should negate any of the things he's accomplished thus far.

Besides the guy the booted for good in the 70's

They should cork all bats= more HRs

Z

Correct - we should be saying he is a shitty person for cheating.
