Sosa: Nobody can replace me

"I understand that they say they don't need me. They lie," he said. "Because, I understand that they want to move forward. I can understand that. But I don't think anybody can replace me. They can say whatever they want to say, but it's going to be hard to duplicate me."

 

When he left that Oct. 3 game, one or more of Sosa's teammates destroyed his boom box. Asked about the incident yesterday, Sosa smiled and said, "When the man is not in the house, the chickens are jumping around."

 

:whistle

I was going to post this, but I knew I would get ripped for being a Sosa hater and such.

Most Cubs fans I know have hated him for a few years now Ramp, so not true in their case.

 

Oh, and lord flaming fraud jerk off is a term reserved for Sosa and Bonds.

Most Cubs fans?..... well not here in Bloomington atleast

when Sosa goes into the hall, he will go in as a cub and he will get a standing ovation years from now when he comes back for old timers day. Things may be sour now, but they won't be like that once he's out of baseball.

:blink: Mediocre fielding, attitude, and a lot of K's aren't too hard to come by :plain

I got a chance to watch him in person last year at Wrigley, and he was the only player in the Cubs' lineup who didn't have a hit that day. Instead, he struck out three times.

 

I'm pretty sure his career is on the downslope at this point.

not to mention he gave the city of Chicago (except for the South Side) the hero they desperately needed after MJ retired.

He revived the entire sport in 1998. He's not as good as he once was, but he's still one of the greatest hitters of all time.

I agree with Sammy on this. Nobody will be able to replace him except for maybe a Delgado or Pujos. Sosa plays his ass off everyday and the media and cub players talking about him?

So true. Sox fans don't just hate him for being a Cub. We hate him because of his numbers with the Sox:

215 hits 974 AB (.221 BA) with just 28 HR and 275 Ks to 58 BBs.

We thought we got the better end of the deal in George Bell. Then he goes and makes himself an idol. The idiots gave him a standing O when he came back from his cork suspension. It took a direct insult before they turned on him.
