Love Gone

Korey and Sammy Sosa had brutal weekends. Korey has had only 2 hits since his Thursday home run in Colorado. His non-splash down hit was an infield single after which he was picked off on the Noah Lowrey’s first throw to first base. Can’t this guy even be patient enough to draw a throw to see his move? How stupid is he? And don’t get me started on his bunt attempts.

Sammy looks like he’s lost, and I think I know what’s got his goat. Sammy sees Nomar and the “love” the fans are giving to him and Sammy realizes that he’s not #1 anymore. Sammy thinks a few bombs will get him back on top.

Well, bad news for you, Sammy. You are done being #1. You want to get our love back? Start playing for the team. Go the other way. Shorten the swing. Move a runner up. Help win some games and stop playing like a selfish dope.

Watching Nomar the last week has been amazing. This guy is so damn good. I had no idea. I saw him play a few years ago out in Fenway, but I was being a tourist and not watching the game. This guy is in the Sandberg / Dawson mold. A pure player. He makes contact. He’s plays excellent defense. He takes the ball the other way. He takes a spike on the double play.

See Sammy? That’s where the love went. To a guy who knows how to play and help us fans see wins.

Chicks dig the long ball, but 40,000 fans dig a win.
