The funny thing is that all the arguments made by Chicago fans for Sosa being MVP last year are legitimate this year. This is a terrible offensive team, and despite that Sosa is putting up great numbers. Too bad they didn't save the arguments for when they were true. Now if the Cubs fans start pushing Sosa, it will be like the boy who cried wolf.
