Bad, Bad Sammy

Sammy Sosa was ejected tonight when his bat broke and it was filled with cork. Uh oh. Sosa, according to ESPN, will claim after the Cubs/Tampa Bay game that it was a bat "usually used in home run hitting exhibitions" and not one he intended to use.

The moral of the story: Don't cork your bat against the Devil Rays, of all teams, unless you want to be mocked.

Sammy is still a nice guy, but he should drop trying to make flimsy excuses which only make this look worse.

Unfortunately, now, he is suspect any time he hits a home run. Wonder how many of his bats will be confiscated (and how many of those will float)?
