The Mighty Mite

Joey Cora, Ivan Calderon and going back a few years Juan Pizzaro.

It sounded good off the bat too.

Couldn’t take advantage of the Yankee miscue, we needed more than the 1 run.

Brooklyn.

Mead should move back to Australia and take up Cricket.

You play with fire and you get burned.

Quero with catchers interference.

He’s struggling.

I hate interviews during a game.

Gomez; much better in the 2nd.

Yep, I thought the Yankees would come up with a 5 spot.

Big DP.

Ugh, 3 walks to start the game.

Yep, but instead of a wrist injury, Allen had his leg broken after a collision with Mike Epstein on a wide throw from Bill Melton. Allen was on his way to another great season and the Sox were in the race but folded after Allen was done for the season. That’s the year when 55,555 showed up at old Comiskey for a Sunday DH in May, largest home crowd in the history of the franchise.

Most of our recent losses are because of the bullpen imploding. I’m not sure what they can do with Sosa, no matter what position he plays he’s a butcher. Injuries are mounting up, Vargas with a wrist injury, Monty might actually be having oblique issues, Tauchman has been been hurt just about from the beginning of the season and of course it’s the same old story with Robert. I also have a hunch Quero might be banged up as Teel is doing most of the catching.

Wow, tie game.

This is going to be Home Run Derby with only the Yankees participating. I’m not feeling good at all about this series and seeing us getting swept, hope I’m wrong.

Sosa is a man without a position, either make him the DH or bust his ass off next spring on how to play first base, maybe send him this fall to the instructional league.

Once upon a time I spent the first 4 years of my life living next to the elevated tracks at 18th street on what was the Howard-Englewood line. One of my first memories was standing on our back porch and almost able to touch the tracks. That was in the late 1940s and the station was gone. As you can see in the photo which I found on the CTA site, we lived very close to the tracks.

Same here.

Sosa has to dive for that ball.

I would have bet that Witt would get a hit there.

Beni bomb!

I would go with Baldwin in CF with MT for late inning defense if we’re ahead in the game. This means we will probably see Beni in LF a lot more in the last 5 weeks.

Right now I say yes but pitching is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get.
