looks like it's pouring at Shea at the moment, unfortunately the audio went out on my mlb.tv to get an update.

Submitted by Chad on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:15 pm

you have got to think they will wait this out. I don't think they will want to have a double header tomorrow on travel day.

Submitted by The Joe on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:16 pm

Nothing to update from the radio end either. Pat said they'd probably wait several hours before cancelling the game because there is expected to be a large crowd and because they wouldn't want a doubleheader on get away day.

Who?

Submitted by Indiana JJ on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:15 pm

Does that count as a major league park for that "record"? It was at Disney World right?

Submitted by tazan wallis on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:36 pm

Sosa is one of the really feel-good stories for the HGH industry this season.

Submitted by Bleeding Blue on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:37 pm

Considering the whole Orlando/WWS complex idea is turing out to be a very forgettable failure for the DRays, is really quite comical that Sammy has now locked the experiment into the record books.

Submitted by The Joe on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:39 pm

It's amazing, distance does make the heart grow fonder. I never liked him as a Cub, but I've actually starting pulling for him this year. Go Sammy. Baseball been vely vely good to you; you been vely vely good to baseball.

Submitted by Rob G. on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:40 pm

BWAHAHAHAHAHAAH!!! Jerome Williams went back to the DL with a shoulder problem right after coming off it for an ankle injury. His replacement in the rotation: Micah Bowie!!!

Submitted by Indiana JJ on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:42 pm

Did Sammy homer in the Tokyo Dome when they played there? Just trying to think of anything similar to this one that wasn't in a normal MLB park.

Submitted by Rob G. on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:43 pm

doubtful, it was in April and he didn't hit homers in April. :) philly game started and cole hamels promptly struck out the first 3 batters.

Submitted by Rob G. on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:46 pm

and no he didn't, Grace and Andrews homered in the first game off Mets relievers. None in the 2nd game for any Cubbies.

Submitted by tazan wallis on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:47 pm

I have not found myself pulling for him. It's not strange. You can't call Bonds' assault on Aaron's record a fraud and then root for Sosa.

Submitted by The Joe on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:51 pm

Bonds is a jdouchebag. and a jerk. Sammy is only a douchebag. Plus, Sammy's vely vely big muscles are not proof enough of guilt. He's also not chasing a 'sacred' *cough, bullshit, cough* record like Bonds is.

Submitted by The Joe on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:09 pm

Nope. If he breaks what's-his-name's record then, well...I won't really care that much, I guess. But he's still a jerk. I hear he hates puppies. And gypsies. And Scandinavians, strangely enough.

Submitted by Carlos Rubi on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:29 pm

"Go Sammy. Baseball been vely vely good to you; you been vely vely good to baseball." Are you mocking Sammy's English? Do you know how hard it is to learn a second language when your mother tongue is a Romance language? ...just kidding.

Submitted by SJS on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:36 pm

I can't believe some people on here are pulling for Sammy, but they aren't pulling for Bonds. I hate both of them, but I'm just saying that's a little bit of homer-ism if you ask me. They are both selfish jerks, who are/were juice-ified, and who aren't half of the hitters that Banks, Mays, and Aaron were.

Submitted by Doug Dascenzo on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:52 pm

I'm pretty sure Sosa was on something, but there's still a difference between him and Bonds. Bonds actually tested positive, Sosa never did. Also, Bonds is a huge dickface who cheats on his taxes, leaves his friend/trainer to rot in prison, and cheats on his wife.

Submitted by Rob G. on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:54 pm

word from Mets radio was the tarp was off and it stopped raining, no time announced as far as I know.

Submitted by SJS on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:57 pm

Bonds never tested positive....he said he mistakenly took the clear. Sosa, he might have never tested positive either, but he happened to remarkably suck at the time testing became passed by the Union, and magically came back...he must have been spending that time learning english. Sosa is just as dirty as Bonds is...they are peas in a pod.

Submitted by tarzan wallis on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:10 pm

Sammy did take something that made him forget how to speak English one afternoon in Washington D.C. Mark McGwire took a similar drug that day that made it impossible for him to dwell on the past - only to look to the future.

Submitted by SJS on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:15 pm

Brewers are not just looking awful at the plate, they made 2 errors back to back in the bottom of the 6th....they somehow made it out of the inning without giving up a run even though the Phils loaded the bases.

Submitted by tarzan wallis on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:17 pm

Matthew Broderick told a funny story on Letterman one night about Sammy meeting him at Shea Stadium and offering him the opportunity to come party with him and a group of rather loose looking women seated nearby. I guess because Sammy's such a great guy we can assume the group was made up of his wife and her girlfriends. Broderick said it was the most bizarre first meeting of a famous person he'd ever had.

Submitted by djchi on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:19 pm

What's wrong with homerism? Barry's a douchebag and I won't cheer for him. Juicing is only a part of that. Sammy was a flawed individual too but he was one of us, so I'm pulling for him.

Submitted by The Joe on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:37 pm

How can you call it homerism? In my original comment, I said that I never liked him when he was a Cub, but I find myself rooting for him in spite of myself. That's not homerism, that's anti-homerism...bizarro homerism, if you will. Yes, Carlos, I'm making fun of Sammy's pronunciation...but mainly I was just making fun of his whole "baseball/I have been very good for me/baseball" schtick. I know you were responding in jest, but I wouldn't want to come off as insensitive, regardless. I wasn't intending to disparage Latin American's, though...just Sammy personally (that's how I remember HIM saying it). Moreover, I DO know how hard it is to speak any langauge as a second language (I work part-time in a Thai restuarant - long story), which is why I generally stick to the study of dead languages...no one knows if you speak it poorly. What was I talking about? Oh, yeah Sammy. He's silly. His Sammy-ness somehow just doesn't annoy me as much now that he's not on MY team. God love him...it's hard for everyone else to.

Submitted by Chad on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:49 pm

Homerism? Barry Bonds is a fucking asshole and everyone hates him. Sosa loves the fans and is a great guy. Oh, and he never admitted to taking steriods like Bonds did. And yes Bonds ADMITTED to taking them. Sosa's name has nevere been linked in any investigation. Not Balco, not Canseco and not Grimsley nothing nada zip.

doh.

and yet another 2 out complete loss of composure for a cubs pitcher

Submitted by Matt on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:07 pm

I guess Cub hitters figured they'd take the rest of the series off after scoring 10 last night. Another mediocre pitcher looking like a Cy Young candidate.

Submitted by Kevin on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:19 pm

what a terrible performance by this team thus far, you can tell they dont care if they win or lose

Submitted by crunch on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:44 pm

its a cubs medical staff/hendry/US govt. coverup. he's got boneitis.

Chad...Sosa loves the fans? Sosa loves fan appreciation weekend until the second inning Sunday. Please! Sosa loves Sosa and attention being paid to Sosa

Submitted by eli18 on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 05:47 pm

is it really important what the ailment is as long as it's keeping the player off the field? i hope that's not the case, but it might be worth the asking...

Submitted by tarzan wallis on Thu, 05/17/2007 - 05:32 am

Sosa's a great guy? What are you, twelve? You don't know anything about Sammy Sosa. If the Matthew Broderick story I mentioned above is any indication, he's no doubt just another selfish asshole.

Submitted by dave on Thu, 05/17/2007 - 05:02 am

    Folks, I've known Richard Lovelady since he was an 18 yr old Freshman at East Ga State College in Swainsboro, Ga.

    I was the WBB Coach at EGSC and Richard was their prize recruit from outside of Hinesville, Ga.

    My roommate was the Pitching Coach there.

    Richard showed up a skinny, loose lipped, 83mph Lefty. Pretty good basketball player actually. 

    My roommate became the head coach.

    Richard came back from a minor injury for his Sophmore year a more serious man. He hit 90mph and started mowing GA JUCO hitters down. It was really fun to watch.

    He was the first D1 signee for EGSC baseball (school had only had athletics for five yrs at that point). He went to Kennesaw St and became their closer. One yr later, he hit 100mph and KC drafted him in the 10th Rd. 

    He lost the high velo with a surgery a while back.

    It's so cool to see him in MLB. And now he's a Cub!! It's crazy to realize I actually "know" a Cub.

    He's a legit good guy.

    Easy to root for!!!

    Tim. Thanks for remembering Lee Elia Day. It will always be one of the most epic rants in all sports.  It took about 3 seconds to recognize him from your picture but I  did get it right. 

    Now that Les Grobstein is no longer with us, that might contribute to this grand piece of Cubbery fading.

    Just like fine wine, it should be savored...unedited. 40 years, wow.

    Does he have any options left, Phil?
