"Omar is an idiot", "Willie is an idiot", "They don't want to play the best players" (yeah, that's a good long term strategy I'm sure they're employing), "Fire everybody", "someone has to pay", etc, etc., BS BS. After less than one quarter of the season, with major injuries and slumps affecting much of our lineup, we're two games out in the loss column. We're playing better as of late. But lose one game (ONE GAME!) to the Nats, and half the people on this board want to commit hara kiri. Look, the Mets are going to lose more games this year. There's 126 left. They're going to lost at least 50 more times. This is not football, where every loss represents a significant chunk of the season. Are any of these people actually baseball fans?

So we basically did get Zito last year. I think Omar thinks since both Sosa and Zito have ERA’s around 7 that this is his personal version of Zito. So we basically did get Zito last year.

Sosa is enigmatic, at best in his career. And Figgy has a much better track record in the bigs then you give him credit for. How do you judge success? Sosa is enigmatic, at best in his career.
