The Mighty Mite

I’m wondering if the lack of playing time in the minor leagues has had an effect on his development, I expected much better from him but he’s is only one of many many Sox phenoms that have come down the pike and never became the player we had hoped for. I’d probably give him one more year to see if he can put it all together before putting him on the trading block. As far as comparisons, I’m going with a guy from the 1950s by the name of Walt Dropo.

Ties Jack Harshman with 16 Ks for franchise record, sad news is I remember Jack Harshman.

Thought we might have a big inning there but alas no cigar, just a run.

Sometimes I just hate Robert.

Get Lance some runs.

Keep it going Lance.

Very productive top of the first.

That was very nice and touching.

Yep, I thought I was watching 1950s Golden Age of Baseball again, it was a breath of fresh air.

You’re right, we can probably trade TA but Moncada is a lost cause unless the Sox pay most of his salary.

Miller was rolling along pretty good last night looking for his 4th straight win but the Giants got him for 7 runs in the 5th on their way to a 15-0 victory over the Dodgers. Maybe his stock went down a tad. For personal reasons I would love to see Bobby Miller on the Sox, he’s from McHenry and is the grandson of my best friend when I was growing up in Rogers Park, he passed away about 20 years ago with all kinds of problems as he had it tough in Vietnam with PTSD which led to alcoholism among other things. My high school sweetheart is Miller’s great aunt and we still are in touch as we fax and she keeps me posted on all the latest with Bobby.

We’ve had some gut wrenching losses this past week with infuriating at bats by Robert and Jake but the team hasn’t quit.

At some point he’s got to figure it or he just doesn’t care or just isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer.

He’s just infuriating.

Wow!

Andrew having a day!

Didn’t happen.

Put the pressure on the M’s in the 11th, bunt the runner over.

Cmon Jake, what was that?

Nice job by Bummer. Our track record in extra innings on the road isn’t good, law of averages on our side.

I can’t wait not to notice.

Sometimes he’s just pathetic.

Hey, we’re neighbors, probably same age and I agree with you 100%.

And sliders are all they are going to see until they start laying off them.

Sox with 4 GIDP today.
