Sosa to Baltimore?
Yes, I'm a Cubs fan. Yes, I'm somewhat angry at Sammy Sosa's actions at the close of last year. Yes, I think Sosa has peaked and is not worth the $17 million he's due to make this year.But reports that he'll be traded to Baltimore still sadden me. Sosa was the face of the Cubs for more than a decade, and even if you think, as I have, that his skills are in decline (and after BALCO, plus the corked-bat incident, God only knows what the implications are for his magical 60-homer years), the Cubs relied on Sammy Sosa for their success the last few seasons. Now Moises Alou has left, and Sosa's evidently gone.
While the pitching is still there, I fear the window may be closing for a championship run.
