Is this the end for Sammy Sosa? Did Dusty just move him to 5th in the batting order? Tim Kurkjian said it's the first time he's batted below 4th since 1994. Wow. If the Cubs want to make a run at that wildcard, they're going to need Sammy's bat. Found this article at ESPN.com. Is there something else going on, or is it the decline of skills due to age?
As an aside, I still like the wildcard. This season is very interesting because so many teams still have a chance. Purists probably don't agree, but I think it's the right format. Maybe this year, the Cubs and Red Sox can be wildcard teams with a chance to advance in the postseason. Both teams have pretty deadly rotations for a short series, right? I'll pay closer attention to baseball as the fall approaches because of the wildcard. I guess that's why MLB is using it.
