Even when you're right, you're wrong, Mr. Phillips

Do you think Sammy Sosa is a Hall of Famer?

Steve Phillips: Yes
Sammy Sosa is a Hall of Famer. Slam dunk. [steroids talk steroids talk steroids talk] In fact, consider that Sosa did get busted for corking a bat during his playing days. Why would a player on steroids cork his bat? He wouldn't.

Why would a man with an attractive wife have an affair? He wouldn't.

Why would a young woman of perfectly normal weight go on a diet? She wouldn't.

Why would Kenneth Lay steal from his employee stock holders when he was already rich? He wouldn't.

Why would Richard Nixon, holding a comfortable lead in the presidential election, have his campaign staff spy on his opponent? He wouldn't.

Why would a baseball general manager trade a 26 year-old Jason Isringhausen for a 37 year-old junkballer named Billy Taylor in 1999? He wouldn't. Unless he was Steve Phillips.

P.S.: For the correct answer on the Sosa matter, read the blurb by friend of YCS Keith Law.
