He's Back

From all indications, Sammy Sosa and the Cubs have kissed and made up. On Thursday, Sosa issued a statement in which he admitted, “I made mistakes,” when “There were times I did whatever I could to recover from injuries in an effort to keep my strength up to perform over 162 games.” His former team responded by inviting Sam-a-la to the 2025 Cubs Convention. Whatever. I root for the other team in town and should be the last one to throw stones given the condition of the glass house I call home. What gets me, though, are those local sports’ people who think Sosa needs to get on his hands and knees; beg for forgiveness; and detail what PEDs he used, when, and from whom. To those Sosa critics who reported on him back in the day, allow me to ask a question or two. Why didn’t you call him out at the time? What, you didn’t notice anything along the lines of a science experiment? In which case, shame on you.
