Corky's back!!! What goes around comes around (the "cycle" is complete, but now I'll only remember him as an Oriole or White Sock). I'll root for him. I hope he does great and makes everyone question their questioning, that'd be fun. Of course, in reality, he'll suck, strike out alot and look old, maybe get hurt and embarass himself, or best case; get busted by the new steroid testing.

Good, it will be nice to see Sosa back in action. I'm really curious to see if his ears shrunk once he got off the 'roids.

I live about a mile from the Rangers Spring Training facility, I wonder if the workout was there? Maybe I'll go over there tomorrow and see if he's still around. Then again, if he's 'roid free he probably dropped 40 pounds and would look more like the immigrants mowing the field than a player.

Wow. A profuse laugh and three votes for an extremely charged racial bash. Way to go Armchair.

How is "immigrant" a racially charged bash? ESPECIALLY here in Arizona (Immigrant Central) it's nothing more than the actual truth. Instantly claiming something as "racial" that you don't understand is just plain ignorant.

Say it aint . . . Wouldn't it be great if mid-season he failed a steroid test.

Guess he found a new special vitamin that cannot yet be detected in a drug test....

The only "show" he can make nowadays is "Pros vs. Joes"...

Sosa will get absolutely nowhere. He had his chance with the Orioles, now he's two years older, that much closer to 40, didn't play in all of 2006, and has been off juice presumably for a long time. He should've taken the Nationals' offer when they gave it to him in 2006. Another example of pride going beforeth the fall.
