Just saw Sosa released a statement apologizing for past mistakes. As a result, Ricketts has invited him to the 2025 Cubs Convention.

What were the mistakes? Doesn't say in the statement

This is the most ridiculous soap opera over the last 20 years. No one cares.

After Larry Holmes awkwardly saying he loved Barry Rozner and his obligatory signature fake laughter good Rozner's Sammy takes.

I heard some of WSCR yesterday and they were all over this topic. Bernstein seemed to think that Sosa owed an apology to Cubs fans. Sure, he cheated, but no one seemed to care at the time, and very few people care now. He was also insinuating that the Ricketts family benefited from Sosa. I think that's somewhat of a stretch.

Yesterday was the best evidence that time spent on teams at the Score is affected by corporate partnerships. I wish Danny Parkins was around to respond.

If he's going to apologize, but not say what he's apologizing for, this is nothing more than both sides agreed to shake hands and bring him back in and move on from this drama that nobody really cares about.

Why do Cubs fans need an apology? Are they all children and that sensitive? Ridiculous.

Everyone knows/knew what he was doing. Not saying it was right, but it was not a mystery.

Cubs just want to move on from this being a media driven story that comes up yearly and probably think they both benefit financially from agreeing to a non-apology apology and inviting him to their off-season events.

Cubs probably owe an apology to Sammy.

Does anyone really give a shit about steroids anymore?

But I wouldn't hesitate to launch Sosa or anyone else from the 2004 roster into a volcano.

I can't imagine this is really about steroids. Braun got caught twice, lied and threw some innocent delivery guy under the bus and he isn't black listed from the Brewers. He apologized but he was also a good teammate and mostly likeable guy. Sosa was a world class piece of ego maniac. His teammates and everyone that was around him hated him like no other. They had a massive party when he left. Speaking of when he left, he packed his shit a day early and walked out on the team and organization. He is not apologizing for using steroids, he is apologizing because everyone fucking hated him.

Did Kerry Wood ever apologize for the destruction of property?

Chicago sports media is in lockstep with fake pro Sammy PC positiveness about him. Rozner was in the minority who had the guts to speak the truth.

More people read this board than Barry Rozner. What the fuck are you talking about?

I'm glad he gave a half-assed apology that admitted basically nothing. Fuck the Ricketts
