Sosa is friggin' crazy! He hits one out of the stadium!... On a side note, I like the shirt that the guy outside the stadium is wearing, with a target that says "Hit Me!"
anyone else think that these animated homerun derby commercials that have been running on ESPN for the past week are kinda odd... i mean they show exaggerated contestants of the H.R.D. (looking like He-men characters with bulging muscles in the arms and legs)... all of this exploitation of muscle mass at the same time we are in the middle of a steroid controversy? ESPN has some funky sense of humor!
I'm not suggesting he uses steroids, but have you seen the size of Sammy's arms? He should try his hand at the World's Strongest Man Competition when he's done with baseball. Why must the Yankees win everything? Now I'm gonna hear about it at work tomorrow. "Blah.... blah... Giambi wins... blah... blah... Berkman sucks... Blah... blah... Houston sucks... yadda yadda... Only steers and queers come from Texas... Blah... yak, etc." I better go prepare my defense. Damn you, Berkman. Did you have to place last?
yeah, but they can come right back with who's been in the 5 of the last 6 world series and won 4 of them? believe me, as an avid astro fan, i've never been able to shut up those damn yankee fans... they always throw "SCOREBOARD" in my face... stats mean nothing compared to championships.
If I try to be antagonistic, I'll be gently (yeah right...) reminded of which team has won 26 World Series and which team has not won a single championship, let alone a playoff series. They have all the ammo, and I do not. So, I'll sit there and take the abuse and slowly seethe with the thought that one day... one day... the Astros will finally win something meaningful. On that day (which, quite frankly, seems far away), I'll be able to stand toe-to-toe with all the Yankees fans of the world and laugh maniacally with the knowledge that their gargantuan payroll could not buy them a championship that particular fateful year. It could be worse, though. I could be a Red Sox fan.
