Why you don’t want to own Chacon
I’ve been overloaded this week getting the football magazine finished, and all of a sudden my blogging shortcut didn’t work. Actually going to blogger to post is just a little more complicated, but that’s why I haven’t written about the Sammy Sosa and a few other things that struck my fancy this week.
Sosa deserves the suspension. He deserves a big penalty if he’s caught again. I suspect he’s a good guy who made a dumb mistake and it’s going to cost him some endorsement money and some embarrassment. Whether or not corking really helps drive the ball farther, the rule against messing with the inner integrity of the bat seems a good one.
Okay, a few more days of this madness. In the meantime, be glad you didn’t buy Chacon.
Ps. Mark Buehrle has put up three decent games in a row, but the opposition was LA and Cleveland and, well, Toronto. In that game he allowed six runs, but only two were earned. And he walked two and struck out one. He’s not out of the woods yet.
