The Mighty Mite

Me too, he needed to say a lot more.

I wasn't sure if you meant new ownership which would be just about anyone, 42 years of JR is enough. In the actual Baseball end of things I would steal Kevin Cash from the Rays and their front office personal along with whoever they have managing, coaching and scouting in the Rays farm system.

Yep, Jim Bunning and Chris Short, used them with only 2 days rest down the stretch.

Correct, won last 9 and 10 out of last 11.

1967 was a heartache year for older Sox fans.

Agree. The Cards also had a guy named Bob Gibson who won 3 games in the last 12 of the season.

And the Yankees fired Yogi and hired Keane. 1964 was also the year the Sox won their last 10 games and finished 1 game behind the Yanks.

Always a chance, the 1964 Cardinals were 6.5 behind the Phillies with 14 left to play and won the Pennant, they also went on to beat the Yankees in the WS. I'm not holding my breath.

They were still doing OK though they should have swept the Tigers but then the Guards came to Chicago for the biggest series of the year and we met a team that is hungrier and plays the game much better than the Sox with a better manager than Cairo or deranged TLR.

This team mailing it in tonight and it's very possible they don't finish over .500 for the year, actually I'm thinking much worse.

Good article but what most of us knew all along, this started after the 2021 All Star game. A lot of blame has to go to Hahn as he did nothing last off season to fill the holes in RF and second base and then did absolutely nothing to improve the team at the trading deadline. The pickup of Andrus was a good thing but was not enough. I'm sure Hahn's hands are tied by JR. That brings us to the players themselves, we have a team with some players with character flaws and who sometimes lack intensity, how many times this season has someone on this board brought up the fact that the team seemed like they just didn't care and failed to hustle. Someone in the front office is going to have to look long and hard at some of the players and if they are honest with their evaluations we could see some trades of guys that we thought would be fixtures on the Southside for many years. IMHO there are not too many untouchables on the team right now. And of course one of the biggest blunders in his 42 years of so many blunders was JR hiring TLR as manager, I hated the move at the time and still hate it, what's there to like. If TLR is brought back next year, I can see a scenario where the fans revolt and stay away from GRF.

A sweep or bust.

I'm not for getting rid of Sheets, he has played a decent right field lately, maybe somehow trade Pollock and slot Sheets in left field, he's younger and less costly than Pollock.

4 billion people, half the Worlds population are expected to watch Monday’s funeral, will be the most watched event in Television history. Amazing.

I would have liked you to finish your evaluations. You left out some key players, Eloy, Robert, Vaughn and Sheets. Those 4 have to be key to competing next year. Eloy has really come on here in September, we need a healthy and motivated Robert. Vaughn leads the team in homers and RBI and Sheets has improved as a right fielder and we need his lefty bat. I think the one thing everyone can agree on is that TLR should not be managing this team next year, not sure if Cairo is the answer either, we’ll see what happens in the next 15 games.

Maybe the Twins can squeak out another win tomorrow and the lead will be down to 3 starting the big series at GRF on Tuesday.

Please delete, double post.

Do the Sox players realize that you have to score runs to win games.

I didn't vote because I don't think they will make the playoffs but option 2 is against my White Sox core beliefs, I want them to win every game they play despite their record or circumstances. That being said, there has to big changes on and off the field, this organization is broken and a mess.

Guards-Twins tied up 3-3.

Exactly.

It's not the first time we've seen it.

Let's hope that holds true.

Don't hold your breath on the Twins sweeping in Cleveland, they couldn't win a game at home last week against the Guards.
