Sammy's 2007 numbers are nearly right on his career averages right now:
            G   AB    R    H  2B  3B  HR  RBI  BB    K  SB  CS  AVG  OBP  SLG  OPS 
2007 TEX   32  119   15   33   7   0   8   27  11   26   0   0 .277 .344 .538 .881
Career   2272 8520 1437 2337 362  44 596 1602 906 2220 234 107 .274 .345 .537 .882   
Sammy is looking mighty good right now and is proving a lot of his distractors wrong.
Detractors?

Good God, Sammy Sosa is an awesome baseball player. An OF of Murton, something something, and Sosa would wet my pants.

i noticed he's downright awful in arlington. (.571 OPS) kinda surprised.

I don't have statistical support, but I think the image of Arlington as a HR park is based on prevailing summer winds (not unlike a certain field in Chicago). And the right field porch is in, well, right field.

He just hit his 597th career homer tonight. 8-)

Anyone know why they're in TB but playing at Disney's field instead of Tropicana?

imb · May 17, 2007

I really wanted to see him hit 600 when I went to see the Rangers play the Cubs in June. I can't believe that he might get there before I do.

To try and draw more fans.

last night on BBTN they were talking how Tampa wants to be a "Florida" team, so they are branching out. apparently they played there last year against Texas also, after noticing the pathetic attendance over the years in Ranger-DRay affairs in Tampa, they decided this was the series to move to Orlando.

Go Sammy Go!

Might not be a bad move. They're really struggling down there, and I haven't heard a whole lot of good things about that Tampa ballpark.

Is this the WWoS complex we're talking about? What does that seat, 10k?

SouthSideRyan · May 17, 2007

Seats 9k I believe, and last I heard they were worried they wouldn't sell out. Of course they were charging ridiculous prices for the tickets, but it wasn't a good sign.
