Sosa ejected after cork is found in shattered bat -

Well being a life long die hard chicago whitesox fan, this has made my day. Better yet, my YEAR. i always knew something was fishy with "slammin sammy" . Hell, the sox had him in 89, he was horrible. Then a few yrs later he goes from a mediocre suck ass strikeout hitter to absolutely cranking the ball. well, cubs fans, your slammin sosa has finally revealed his source of power. corked bats....to think, that whole year battling mcguire for the home run race....no its all shit. its especially funny because the cubs are actually doing great so far this year, but something always happens LOL. cubs suck, they will always suck. how many outs now sammy? hake:

I dont thik sammy's been using cork bats his entire power hitting career. He's broken bats before, ive seen them, and they havent been corked. Hes going to say that the bat was indeed corked, and that he used it during a homerun hitting exhibition, and it was accidentally mixxed in with the game bats. I dont know what to think right now actually....

the corked bat doesnt help him connect with the ball. It might help his distance a little but he's still got to connect with some ferocity. It's not much of a help if you ask me.
but what the fuck do i know, baseball is shit anyway

actually, a corked bat makes it lighter and easier to swing with more of a bang. I would say he gets a 3 game suspension max, just because he is sammy sosa

well ya but still it takes amazing hand eye coordination to be able to swing the bat so it connects cleanly with the ball. The cork will definately help getting it out of the park though. What a crock
