Does anyone think Sosa with the O's gives them any better shot at catching the Yanks or BoSox (or even Toronto)? Anyone think Sosa will ever hit more than 45 HR again (corked bat and 'roids not withstanding)? :-\
...
I didn't think so.
On a positive note, only 2 weeks to the start of spring training! ;D With no NHL and a sub-par Wolves team, I will probably be turning my attention the the Twinkies much earlier than planed.

Sammy will bring in the crowds for Angelos. Maybe he'll stop whining about the Nationals infringing on his territory. Maybe not. I think Sammy will still hit his share of HR, but it won't help the O's. They just don't have the pitching. The Cubs will be better off without Sammy. He was a cancer in the clubhouse. It was time for him to move on. I think Jeromy Burnitz will offset most of what they lost with Sammy gone. They need another hitter to replace Alou, though. The Cards will probably win the division again.
I hear you about the Twins. The Vikings were a huge letdown this year, the T-Wolves are becoming one, there is no Wild. We need the Twins to win the division again. Hopefully Morneau lives up to his reputation and the Twins have a guy hit 30 HR for the first time in forever. It's embarrasing that they've gone so long without one.

Nope. I saw the O's play the Yanks plenty of times last season, and it was their pitching that was their weakness. They put up a lot of hits, but their pitching didn't keep them in it. The O's need at least 2 good starters and someone good in their bullpen to be contenders.
Darth Broem:
As a Cub fan I am not all that thrilled with Burnitz coming over. Unless they also sign Magglio. I doubt that will happen. Hairston Jr and Burnitz at the corner outfield spots is not that great IMO. We'll see though.
