06:29 AM ET 11.11 | Sammy Sosa said he's using a "bleaching cream" to soften his skin and is not trying to change his pigmentation. "I'm not a racist," he told ESPN Deportes. Sosa, in his first public remarks since the famous photos became public, said he's not trying to look like Michael Jackson.

Are you saying Michael Jackson was a racist Sammy? You need to forget English again for a while.

And what is he talking about "I'm not a racist"??? Does he think he is actually white now? Is someone accusing him of saying or doing something racists? I don't understand this. Someone help me understand if you can I need more info. What a boob this guy is.

He looks like death warmed over. Too many hot days in the outfield makes one do stupid things.

November 11, 2009  12:44 PM ET

Bleaching cream? I think he used it on the wrong end!

November 11, 2009  02:14 PM ET

Racist isn't what I was thinking. More like idiot.

November 11, 2009  03:00 PM ET

November 11, 2009  04:35 PM ET
