At this point you know that Sammy Sosa made a somewhat veiled apology for maybe taking a super vitamin during his playing days, which prompted Tom Ricketts to officially welcome him back to the team. Now I guess it’s official, at least based on this item I found in my email (thanks to Perkins for reminding me that I was subscribed to Cubs emails and I should probably check it)…
So now we say yay and wait for a press release!

Iβm hoping for Detroit, though in a way that doesnβt prevent my winning my fantasy league. I took a 75 point lead into this game and my opponent has Gibbs, Williams, and LaPorta. I still have Jordan Addison and Will Reichard though, so should be safe.

Was it so insane that it sank your fantasy team? Because LaPorta had some good catches too.
BVSQuote Reply
So if the Padres are going to have financial/decision issues related to family infighting for control, I’d be happy to trade Assad and Canario or Ballesteros for Yu Darvish and some cash. Sure, he’s 38, but his tax hit is only $16.75 and he could be amazing as a second act in the bullpen in a couple years if his starting falls off.

BVS,
I ended up winning by 18, but considering I took a 75 point lead into that game, I was on the edge of my seat.
