Sosa quotes

I know that Adam touched a little bit on these two articles, but he suprisingly avoided mentioning Sosa's quotes in the two.  My guess is he hates him so much that he didn't even read past the title.  

While I have defended Sosa at times, I definately agree that he hasn't been very good overall and he's been awful the last few weeks.  Sosa apparently sees it differently.

From the TR story that he's supporting Bonds, here is a quote in response to being asked about whether Selig should be there.  

"I don't want to go there," Sosa said with a smile. "I'm doing good right now. I don't want any controversy. I'm happy."

Maybe he means that he is "doing good" at staying out of controversy, but that quote is coming on the heels of his player diary from the previous day where he said:

"My numbers are good, but we still have a lot of games to play, and real satisfaction comes from winning games. Personally, I just try to remain focused on what I need to keep doing. I just need to be ready to play every day."

His numbers are good? .243/.297/.449 are good?  While I'm one of the few that hasn't bashed him, I would expect that he wasn't really pleased with them.  I would have hoped that he's expecting more of himself than that.

I guess
Those are pretty good numbers, compared to being out of baseball and speculating on beef commodities.
Time does funny things. The worst of which is, it keeps moving when you don't.

idiot
"I just need to be ready to play everday"

that is a message to managment

Sosa is a D-Bag and i hate it so much every game i go to, when some naive 6 year old kid screams his name again and again like he is the face of the franchise and has been here forever.

Those are
his numbers for the season.  What are his numbers for the last month?  A player can't care what his season numbers are.  Ask Michael Young about his numbers and he will tell you about this week.  Ask him about the beginning of the year and he will say that it doesn't matter.  Ask him about his June and he will tell you it doesn't matter.  After the season is the time to talk about your season.

His numbers for the last month
.246/.297/.415 (for the last 28 days).

And 11 RBIs, for those who get fired up about ribbies.

And
.158/.214/.237 in July.  

I still say that his 63 RBI through the end of June was significant, but I also agreed that was all that he had.  

Since that has dropped off significantly, he's got nothing.
