As a diehard Cubs fan, I’ve been pelted with questions about Sammy Sosa’s retirement announcement all week. I say pelted because every inquiry leaves an emotional welt, like pops from a paintball gun.
How can Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano throw out an ump, throw a ball into the outfield and throw out his lower back smacking a Gatorade dispenser and get the same suspension New York’s A.J. Burnett did for throwing high and inside?
