"Say It Ain't So" Indeed

[fredericks]

Okay, I admit it - none of us was terribly fond of Sammy Sosa during the famed Home Run face-off between him and Mark MacGuire from a few years back. The man was *so* self-effacing and overly modest: every time a camera was pointed his way he'd jump to say "Mark's the man!" like a friggin' yes man or something, making Darwent, Darren, and I want to puke. I felt like screaming at the television "Grow some cojones! Stand up for yourself! Where the hell is that machismo you're supposed to be sportin'!?!?"

But now... if this is true (and I don't see how it can be anything but)...man oh man, Sammy - what the hell were you thinking?

This guy's column sums up my thoughts exactly. You gotta love ESPN.com.
