Go Sammy yayyyy woooo yipppieeeee

[Jon]

Split off into a rant: premium and regular

[wekse]

sammy with 2 bombs today.....593 & 594...6 to 600!

[fromthestretch]

Two more homers for Sammy today.

[rocket]

Awesome!!!

 

Sosa, by the way, has the MLB record for hitting a homerun in the most stadiums.

[Chris]

6 JACKS ON THE SEASON

 

GO SAMMY GO

[texascub]

His average is up to .239 now too. He's really starting to heat up right now as well. I really miss hearing "Swing and a Drive! Belted deep to right field!"

[fromthestretch]

Apparently, the second one today shouldn't have been ruled a homer. The Cleveland broadcasters on XM said that the replay showed it hit the top of the wall and came back in. It appears the ump ruled that it hit some railing behind the wall instead of the wall itself.

 

No matter. It's officially a home run now.

When Sammy gets close to 599, I may have to try to get some bleacher seats over at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington for those games.

[Andy]

Awesome!!!

Yup, today's homer broke McGriff's record and Sosa now has gone yard in 44 ballparks.

I'm loving it!

[Ronnys Cannon]

I love this thread.

 

Sammy has more HR and RBI than the entire Cubs outfield (Soriano, Murton, Floyd, Jones, Pie) combined.

 

Long live the Gladiator!

[Garwilly]

Awesome!!!

Does anyhave a list of parks he has homered in? Or parks he hadsn't homered in? I'd like to see how much higher he can push this.

Scroll to the bottom of that page.

I wouldn't mind his .824 ops in the outfield right now. We could really use the slugging.

[Garwilly]

So Sammy can still add St Louis and Washington to his totals.

[samuelperaltasosa]

I'll always be a Sammy Sosa fan.Good for him.

[sweetpeteman]

Since April 13 (47 PA) his BA has been .302

 

OBP: .361

 

SLG: .721

 

 

Thats an OPS of 1.082, although someone might want to check my numbers.

:shock: I can't wait until the summer months...

[Roast]

ALMOST to 600. ALMOST!

[Connor McConnor]

I'll always be a Sammy Sosa fan.Good for him.

 

Couldnt agree more. Sammy was a lot of things.....not all good....but boy he loved to play and he always played hard.

[KingCubsFan]

Sosa hits 2 HR's and his team loses 9-4...some things never change

[SouthSideRyan]

Rather than throw off the alignment of the page. (A LOT OF EYE ROLL SMILEYS.)

 

Stats behind it: Rangers fall to 2-3 in games Sosa homers in.

 

Orioles in '05: 7-4 in games Sosa homered in. (O's were also a TERRIBLE team)

 

Cubs in '04: 20-12 with Sosa homer

 

Cubs in '03: 24-10

 

Cubs in '02: (even worse than the '05 O's) 23-21

 

 

Should I keep going or should I wait for the anecdotal evidence of "all those times Sammy hit those meaningless HRs in the 9th and kissed the camera and walked out early on the team and corked his bat and did steroids" Cause if that's all that's coming, I'd rather not sit and count the games in which he hits is 64 HRs in '01 just to show they had a great record in those games.
