I know Webb is good and Sosa is a rook, but when Tony Clark is batting fourth you gotta think you have an advantage in the lineup. Just like we had the lineup disadvantage when he batted fourth for us.

Elster88 May 05 2007 07:00 PM

I don't know how I feel about Captain Redass batting fifth.

OlerudOwned May 05 2007 07:03 PM

Sosa's no rook, he's 30 years old. Just never been able to stick around as a big league starter. He's just a hard throwing righty with crappy K/BB ratios and piss-poor numbers against left-handed hitters who had some Mazzone Magic a couple years back in Atlanta. Has some pop in his bat, though.

Yeah I meant a AAA pitcher not a rook.

Come to think of it, I never realized just how bad Sosa has been against lefties. LHB are .291/.382/.500 off him for his career. 160 walks to 146 Ks. Surprised he hasn't be glued to the bullpen by now.

Willets Point May 05 2007 07:09 PM

DIdn't he suck for the Mets last year, blowing a game against Washington?

OlerudOwned May 05 2007 07:12 PM

We picked him up this offseason, so nope. He did suck for the Braves and Cardinals though. Admirable.

Gwreck May 05 2007 07:17 PM

Willets, maybe you're thinking of when Sosa did poorly against the Mets: http://retrosheet.org/boxesetc/2006/B04170NYN2006.htm IIRC, Delgado has great career numbers against Sosa. He homered in that game.

Two aboard in the first inning with one out. I hope Sosa settles a bit in after this inning

Batty31 May 05 2007 07:58 PM

Sosa strikes out Tony Clark!

OlerudOwned May 05 2007 08:00 PM

Those black Diamondbacks jerseys are ugly. So was that pitch, but Green has it on the warning track.

GREEN!

OlerudOwned May 05 2007 08:06 PM

Green takes the master of the ground ball deep. Got a feeling we'll need more of that if we want Sosa to beat Webb.

metirish May 05 2007 08:10 PM

Can't say enough good things about Green....his hitting at least anyway.

Edgy DC May 05 2007 08:22 PM

He's done his job in the field of late. This series, anyhuck.

Edgy DC May 05 2007 08:29 PM

Eight in a row for da man.

Batty31 May 05 2007 08:39 PM

Blech. Chavez blows a bases loaded opportunity.

Thanks for the translation.

Willets Point May 05 2007 08:45 PM

="Gwreck"]Willets, maybe you're thinking of when Sosa did poorly against the Mets: Or I could be a dumbass who can't tell his Jorges apart. After searching through Ultimate Mets I realized the crappy pitcher I was thinking of was Jorge Julio.

Edgy DC May 05 2007 08:53 PM

Sosa-Distic!

Willets Point May 05 2007 08:58 PM

Looked like LoDuca was praying to Mecca.

OlerudOwned May 05 2007 09:15 PM

Meet Scott Hairston

Edgy DC May 05 2007 09:21 PM

Webb made his bed; he can lie in it.

metirish May 05 2007 09:23 PM

Webb must hate seeing the Mets.....

Edgy DC May 05 2007 09:43 PM

Yeah, once again. He dug that hole when he walked the first two batters last inning. Nobody to blame but yourself if you can't throw a Carlos a strike.

Edgy DC May 05 2007 09:58 PM

Bazooka Joe gives up two. Fortunately for his unblemished record, they're two of Sosa's. And so, to bed.

Willets Point May 05 2007 10:05 PM

I think Arizona leads the league in Brandons.

Nymr83 May 05 2007 10:51 PM

Mets win. where'd you all go?
