An Old, Ex-Friend of Ours...

ESPN's Outside the Lines will be airing an interview with ex-Oriole Sammy Sosa on Sunday on morning at 9:30am EST and on SportsCenter throughout the Sunday episodes.

As any O's fan knows all too well, Sammy was a complete bust and brought here via a trade from Chicago Cubs. I assumed he would certainly have a fall-off from his 2004 season, but never would I think he'd forget how to hit in 2005.

He was a problem in Chicago as we found out, and he was nothing short of terminal cancer in Baltimore. Between his poor numbers, the testimony on Capitol Hill where he forget how to speak English (in spite of he playing ball professonally for 15 plus years in the US) his so-called injuries and problems with players on the O's, he was sent on his way out the door in the second half of 2005 never to be seen again.

Long story short, he talks about McGwire, his Capitol Hill debacle and his eagerness to get back into the game.

Will I watch? Maybe. I'll be at church, but I'll see it later thanks the power of Tivo...

Here's an article about the hoopla on ESPN.com - http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2683234

There's also a short clip of the interview as well on the webpage.
