Long time suspected of cheating, Sosa&#39;s legacy has been greatly tainted. Though Sosa has far greater numbers than many current Hall of Famer&#39;s, his chances of getting in are rougly the same as fellow steroid suspect Mark McGwire. In the end, I believe Sosa will not get in because of how tainted this steroid era has been. (The same goes for McGwire and Bonds.)&lt;br /&gt; &lt;div style=&quot;margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;&quot; class=&quot;zemanta-pixie&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;zemanta-pixie-a&quot; href=&quot;http://reblog.zemanta.com/zemified/90b08d1a-8fa1-467a-a482-dea0284b66ab/&quot; title=&quot;Reblog this post [with Zemanta]&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;border: medium none ; float: right;&quot; class=&quot;zemanta-pixie-img&quot; src=&quot;http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=90b08d1a-8fa1-467a-a482-dea0284b66ab&quot; alt=&quot;Reblog this post [with Zemanta]&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;zem-script more-related pretty-attribution&quot;&gt;&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot; src=&quot;http://static.zemanta.com/readside/loader.js&quot; defer=&quot;defer&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;Champ Sports Blog

Even though they do not really have a superstart anymore (after trading Matt Holiday), they play great defense and play small when needed. I believe the Rockies could potentially win the wild card and make some noise.&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;Champ Sports Blog
