The Mighty Mite

I was at game 2 of the 59 WS and still have nightmares with Lollar trying to to score, that was 3B Coach Tony Cucinello’s fault especially with no outs and Lollar the tying run. If we would have won that game I would bet we would have won the Series, of course IF is the largest world in the dictionary.

You never saw Sherm Lollar who was a great catcher and a damn good hitter but by far the slowest MLB player I’ve seen in 71 years as a White Sox and MLB fan. I’m pretty sure that AV is faster than Grandal. .

Imagine what it was like before the lop off of 8 rows, just read my earlier post when we sat in row 29 back in 1993.

Guards are losing big to the Flubs 10-0 in the 7th.

He also could have eliminated the Club Level seats.

Looking back the original ballpark was an ugly concrete monstrosity with a steep upper deck with 29 rows which you entered the UD at row 1. We sat in row 29 at the 1993 division clincher and after climbing the 29 rows we found our seats and we never left them until the game was over, we felt like we needed seat belts. On top of the ugliness some genius decided to fill the park with powder blue seats. At least the Sox braintrust saw the errors of their ways and in 2004 started almost a complete makeover of the place starting with lopping off 8 rows of the upper deck and replacing the blue seats with the green seats we have now. Other cosmetic changes were made down through the years and the place even though nothing could be done with the steep upper deck is now a very nice place to watch a game. I check the ratings of the ballparks every year and Sox Park moves up a bit step by step in the rankings where it’s not at the bottom anymore with the likes of the Trop and the Oakland Mausoleum.

Way to come back to split the series.

Why isn’t Santos the closer?

That was scary, looked like he lost it for a second.

He needs a rest or something.

We’ll take it!

Cmon Jake.

Grandal looks like crap today.

Eloy did the right thing, just a bit more right and it’s a hit but AV comes through!

Good Job!

Yes it was.

Have to give Lance credit for hanging in there.

That was Jake’s ball, someone could have been hurt.

That strike 3 swing by Grandal was pathetic.

AV was robbed.

Maybe Jamie Navarro.

Already did.

We have a bullpen game tomorrow, we need Lance to shut the Halos down and give us 7 innings.

C’mon Frazier, do something.

He’s not the only one.
