The Mighty Mite

That's what I'm thinking or could be that Harrison is next to be DFA.

In late May the 83 Sox were 18-26 and from that point on played like gangbusters going 81-37, the best stretch of baseball I ever saw the Sox play since I became a fan in 1952. There is still hope for this bunch based on their track record, let's hope they remember how to hit pretty damn soon..

Living on the Gulf Coast of Florida, I watch the Rays just about every game and I agree that somebody in their front office knows exactly what they're doing. They have a knack of constantly making the right moves, they have had me scratching my head when they trade stars like Longoria and Meadows and going back to Carl Crawford but they always come out smelling like roses with other players. Year after year they have had pretty strong bullpens and reliable starting pitching and all this is done on the cheap.

We all know who is in charge, 41 years of horrible ownership with so many many bad moves, from alienating Harry Caray to the White Flag trade to tearing down a great old ballpark and then building a horrible ballpark in the wrong neighborhood and countless other gaffes with hiring TLR as one of the worst. BTW I will give credit for the remake of the ballpark back in 2004, they did a pretty good job without tearing the whole place down but in survey after survey it's still near the bottom of the best ballparks list, IIRC the highest I've ever seen it rated is 18th.

I hated the Kimbrel trade as I was a big Nicky 2 strikes fan. The trade made no sense as we had a closer in Hendriks who was pretty damn good last year. I liked the addition of Tepera but not at the expense of Madrigal, but then we didn't resign Tepera and we sure could use him with the performance of the bullpen this year.

No you are not delusional, I felt the same way. The handwriting was on the wall in the second half of last year, we needed upgrades at 2B and RF and those needs were not addressed. If the front offtice felt that Harrison and Pollock were the upgrades, it's they that are delusional.

Claudell Washington, he slept here.

This.

I'd be ecstatic if he came close to Robin Ventura, the player not the manager.

Great player? No way, great players usually make the Hall of Fame, Yoan has no chance.

It's funny, a Red Sox fan and friend of mine told me when the trade happened that he didn't care about losing Moncada, he thought that Basabe was the sleeper in the deal and didn't like losing Kopech either. He was right on Kopech but not Basabe, as for me I've never been a fan of Moncada.

Right, dog shit.

No doubt, the offense has to step it up, Robert didn't have a clue yesterday, same with Moncada. Abreu has been a little better of late but not close to what we expect from him.

I just had a discussion with a guy on another site and I was saying how good I thought our starting 5 will be once Lynn returns. After Kuechel gave up 6 runs on Saturday the Bronx Bombers were limited to 2 runs in the next 24 innings by Sox pitching, pretty damn good and in Yankee Stadium.

They can trade him anytime they want but they won't.

That comeback win against KC might have been just what the doctor ordered.

But we as fans don't. I hate J.R. and his buddy TLR.

It's too damn hot, just wait for cooler temperatures.

What are we going to do when he 30? Maybe just play him on Sundays like Ted Lyons.

Agree but we also need a Manager upgrade.

Where is Uribe Jr. playing right now?

It's the Yankees are the good guys and the White Sox are the bad guys, not surprising.

Just watch what comes out of Joy Reids mouth, if you don't agree with her, you are a racist.

Agree, the word "racist" has been thrown around way too much in the last few years.

How did this thread turn into this.
