Sammy Sosa was ejected in the bottom of the first inning of tonight's Cubs/Devil Rays game after the umpire found cork in his broken bat.

"after the umpire found cork in his broken bat."

I think they make a pill or ointment or something for that kind of problem these days.

[Dr. Frank fan]

Pity. Always liked and respected Sosa.

[ewing]

Did he take the wrong bat off the rack-say it aint so Sammy!

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Sad. He's a cheater.

[ewing]

Big time suspension I would guess, hope it is a mistake..seems like such a good guy

[cardinal4]

Damn, Im playing him tonight in my fantasy league.

[Wrigley]

We'll see.

I'm more concerned with Prior's pitching tonight.

[Wrigley]

Assuming he has been.

He's broken a ton of bats this year with nothing found.

Bush Knew!

[PianoMan]

Holy cow! So what does this mean for his home run stats?

[PianoMan]

ROFL

[Arkinsaw]

Ought to do wonders for his legacy. As far as I'm concerned, every record he owns is suspect now.

[jwalsh07]

Et tu Sammy?

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Shocked! Shocked, I tell you!

[ewing]

And when did Bush know it, I demand a full investigation!!

[wardaddy]

He is not that at all.

[Wrigley]

Good grief. You jump to a interesting conclution.

The home plate umpire is the same ump who was involved in the George Brett pine tar bat too. He was overruled there, don't be surprised if this is nothing too.
