I'm sure as soon as that bad boy shattered he was thinking "Oh no!"

I wouldn't say that. Sammy has been very generous and friendly as a superstar. This clearly was not the best judgement he could have used, and during last year's home run derby I was convinced he was on roids (did you see him go insane in the hallway while the other contestants hung out with thier kids...creepy), but I wouldn't call him a dumbass...people screw up and it looks like Sammy is no exception.
