The Mighty Mite

Paddack was lucky he only gave up the one run.

Another hard hit ball but foul by Tauchman.

Great work by Alexander.

C’mon ump.

Monty with another one!

The Guards and the Tigers have really thrown some leather at us in the 4 games.

Needs to cut down on his swing with 2 strikes.

We picked him up on waivers from the Brewers a week ago.

I’ll be happy if I have to do this for a week or 10 days.

A nice winning streak would be nice. Paddack on the bump for Detroit, Peguero for the Sox.

Didn’t know that.

If ticket prices went up, they didn’t go up much, we could go to Sox or Cubs game in the late 1950s for a dollar for an unreserved grandstand seat and 75 cents to sit in the bleachers. Kids paid 10 cents for a bus or L ride to the ballparks.

At some the point high ticket prices along with the prices of everything else at the ballparks will reach a point where fans will say enough is enough, this just might be what is going on in St. Louis and other small market clubs.

I don’t know but they count seats sold not actual bodies at the game, normally there would 40,000+ seats sold for a Cubs-Cards game.

He can get that OPS up to where it should be in the .800 range by taking some walks, only 13 so far this with 81Ks. For comparison Tauchman has the same BA as Sosa but his OPS is .814 because he’s had 33 walks.

Something is going on in St.Louis, failed to sell out any of this past weekend games against the Cubs. I turned on the game last night and couldn’t believe how many empty seats, only 30,000 showed up, that’s unheard of in Redbird land.

I think I'm going to throw up.

Hauser with another bad start giving up 4 runs to the Ms in the first inning with 45 pitches, this could wind up being a damn good trade.

Now time for a nice winning streak, Tigers aren’t burning it up, 14-19 in their last 33.

One thing going for Mead is he came up through the Rays organization, when they bring up a guy he’s had had good minor league training. Mead with the bat should get better because he never had a long run with the Rays, unfortunately when Vargas comes back he’s going to be in the same situation.

Because it was a great swing, I hope Robert paid attention on how to go down and get to the baseball.

I thought that was gone.

C’mon, let’s get those runs back.

We needed a tested veteran manager instead of a guy who is going through OJT but when you have a cheapskate owner that’s what you get.
