Just Shut Up... Again!


It's usually painful to agree with Jay Mariotti. Fortunately, today I only agree with half of what he says. He's dead on when he says that Dusty Baker, Kerry Wood and Mark Prior would be better served ignoring Sammy "Chickens" Sosa.

The guy is gone, fellas. Let it go. Let him go. Instead of trying to get in the last word and clarify a clarification and trying to point out who's lying, the Cubs players should have just given in.

When Sammy said, "They lie. I understand they want to move forward and they feel they have a competitive team, but I don't think nobody can replace me. They can say whatever they want to say, but it is going to be hard, my friend, to duplicate me," Kerry Wood should have smiled and said, "He's right."

When Sammy said that Lee Mazzilli is the first manager ever to be honest with Sammy, Dusty should have said, "That dude is so right!" and winked and moved away.

Instead, these Cubs are still trying to get the upper hand in the media with Sammy. What they miss is that they already have it. We know that Sosa lied. He said he left the last game of the season in the 7th inning. The truth was he left in the first inning. Sosa is a boldfaced liar. With videotape proof.

The Yankees haven't engaged the A-Rod baiting that the Red Sox have initiated. Smart move.

When are the Cubs going to get smart?
