Sox’s Ozzie Guillen hopes Sammy Sosa comes clean

Wow! Didn’t take OxiClean long, did it?

“If that’s the truth, come out and say it, because that is going to help you,” Guillen said before his Sox’s 6-0 victory over the Cubs on Sunday. “You are not talking about a crime scene. You are not doing something that people should be ashamed of. Some people are very heartbroken ... everyone who is a fan. But you should go out there and admit it if you are guilty. People will forgive you. But when you admit it, [say it] like you mean it.”

The New York Times reported recently that Sosa was one of the 103 MLB players who tested positive for performance-enhancing substances in 2003. The results were supposed to remain anonymous.

“And if it is not the real thing, just say that it is a bunch of bull and move on,” Guillen said. “But I would say that to anyone who got caught with [steroids]. Hey, man, admit it and hopefully people will forgive what you did and you can move on. But the longer you keep [quiet], there are going to be doubts and more doubts and more doubts. Then you are going to be screwed.”

Oxiclean?

Ouch, the man died today....

(I made a much more tasteless joke in the Lounge, so I have no standing, I just like fake moral outrage.)

Jeez, celebrities are dying by the droves. Could the apocalypse be far off? I think it's time to panic.
