The Mighty Mite

Maybe, if the White Sox contend to the end JR will have to pay rent this year.

What an ugly game.

All I wanted was 1 game this series, we still have 2 game left to get that game.

Now it’s over.

Need a DP.

Middle infielder playing 1B, s%*# like that’s going to happen.

2 would be great but at this point 1 would be OK, that would give us a 6-5 record against the best of baseball and without Mune and Teel.

Vasil would come in very handy unfortunately we won’t see him until 2027.

Back in first place by a percentage point.

That can be fixed.

Hey we lost to the best team that money can buy in MLB so I’m not surprised with the loss and being no hit would have been a downer but Peters ended that scenario. Don’t be surprised if they comeback tomorrow and win the series

I remember the famous 1957 Sox-Yankee fight very well, I had a nasty cold and stayed home from school that day and the game was on WGN TV(Sox did not televise home night games in those days). Walt Dropo did a number on Enos Slaughter that day with Enos almost needing a visit to the Emergency Room at Mercy Hospital.

Definitely the 2000 Kids Can Play plus a few teams from the GO GO years who didn’t have the power but just won a lot of games.

I’m at a loss for words to describe what’s going on with this team, 2 years ago I was having fits of depression and here we are in 2026 and it’s unbelievable what has happened, these guys truly believe in themselves and bits of adversity with a loss here and there along with injuries doesn’t bother them a bit, they just come out and play better. I think they will make the post season and probably improve once Mune and Teel are healthy.

Sounds like afternoon summer days in Florida, just about a daily occurrence with lots of thunder and light from mid June until October.

Usually when a team all of a sudden starts losing the likely cause is dissension, this might have started when TA made comments in 2021 comparing himself to Jackie Robinson and also that he was the best player on the field with the Sox and who they were playing. Weren’t there a few times when TA hit a homer and was hardly congratulated by his teammates.

Wow, that came out of nowhere but we have a nice problem with guys who can play the game but no spot for them.

Something happened after the Field of Dreams game as they played .500 the rest of the way and made a quick exit from the playoffs, a .500 team the next year and then things really went downhill, I don’t know if anyone really has an idea what happened with that 2021 team but I blame TLR more than anyone and of course JR for hiring him.

True, we haven’t won a damn thing yet but so far the makeup of these guys exceed the makeup of the losers we had from the previous rebuild, I saw it in the second half last year as those kids busted their butts every game even though they knew the team wasn’t going anywhere and on their way to another 100 loss season, the foundation was built that last half of 2025 and I thought the Sox would win close to 80 games this year, who knows what will happen the rest of the way but so far they are exceeding expectations.

That roster works for me but I’d like to find room for Grichuk somewhere.

The 1983 Division started off slow and the Sox were 8 games under .500 in late May, they finished with 99 wins and were absolute gangbusters the last 4 months of the season, IMHO that was the best stretch of baseball the White Sox have played in my 74 years as a Sox fan but it all came tumbling down against the Orioles in the playoffs with Britt Burns losing the 4th game in a tear jerker. Going way back the 1959 American League champs played great baseball the whole year and were favorites to win the World Series but we all know what happened.

Absolutely amazing, I don’t think I can remember a team that was made up with guys with not even a year as Major Leaguers and performing like All-Stars, Mune, Antonacci, Meidroth, both Montgomery’s, Gonzalez, Peters with our veteran Vargas leading the way while our other vets like Hill, Beni and Grichuk stepping up. As someone mentioned we are doing this without Teel and to a lesser extent Hays and Baldwin who I thought were going have pretty good years, especially Baldwin. The pitching was super last night , if we could somehow find a few more arms these guys could be unbeatable.

I’m not going to go crazy but Moncada was my least favorite Sox player since Claudell Washington, that’s all I have to say.

Just curious, what kind of coverage are the Sox now getting from local TV and the newspapers, a few times in years past when I came up to visit, the Cubs were the media darlings with the Sox an afterthought. I’m hoping things are finally changing.

Amazing, simply amazing and truly unbelievable as 2 years ago the Sox were probably the worst team in MLB history and here they are quite possibly post-season contenders, this has to be the biggest turn-around ever in the history of the game. I still say 1977 was the most fun Sox season that I have experienced but this crew looks like it might over take the Southside Hitmen.
