Forget Iraqi WMDs and al-Qaeda... how about important issues, like Sammy Sosa and his corked bat? I must admit, when I first heard his claim about accidentally using a batting practice bat, I thought: "b----t!" All 76 of his bats were confiscated at the time, however, and X-Rays show all 76 are legit. So was the bat used to hit Home Run #498.

What this means is that Sosa might actually be telling the truth here. He'll still get a 10-game suspension, of course. As he should.
