The Mighty Mite

You gotta be frigging kidding.

Geesh.

Cueto has been around, he should be OK, Kopech, I'm not sure.

Too bad he can't play rightfield.

That's what I think.

Playing golf today a fellow a few years older than me (76) plopped down on 13th hole green, I was marking my ball and heard him going down and thought he was having a heart attack, it was Vertigo but scared the crap out of me and the other 2 guys in our foursome. He was able to finish the round but I can tell he wasn't himself, the poor guy also suffers from Parkinsons Disease, he doesn't have problems with full shots but putting is another story.

Just be thankful they are.

I hate long term contracts but they're a fact of life in today's game, if I was an owner, 3 years would be the max.

Unless we get hotter than hell, I'm going with 12-7.

And they sit at only .500. They need a long winning streak like the Phillies had when they changed managers and maybe make a run like the Mariners.

Has to be a dirty pictures thing.

I'm curious, what do you most of you think is going on behind closed doors with Hahn and William's, they are not dummies and see the same bizarre moves by TLR that we do, do they have any input at all, have they approached JR with their feelings or are they in fear of losing their jobs and keeping quiet and allowing this shit show to go on. I'm thinking they were against bringing TLR on board as manager but are staying quiet but at the end of the season will tell JR, we told you so.

Simply unbelievable.

You know what the answer to that one is but for those who don't, I'll take 98% of Judge and Stanton 8 days a week to almost all the other players in MLB who are at 100%.

Good point but maybe they'll surprise us one of these days.

Toning up and agility are 2 main ingredients of playing baseball and other sports, bulking up is a no no. And yes running has never hurt anyone, that's all White Sox pitchers under Al Lopez and pitching coach Ray Berres did between starts.

From a training staff that couldn't keep the team healthy if their life depended on it.

No doubt about it , this is what you get when you have a demented fool as manager. Does he realize we only have 67 games games left to catch the Twins or get a Wild Card spot but here we are still resting our best players who have to be the most rested guys in universe.

Al Lopez was great, knew how to handle a pitching staff, it didn't hurt that he had Ray Berres as his pitching coach. Lopez was a catcher in his playing days, I have always believed that catchers made the best managers. I always wondered why Fisk didn't try managing. Walter Alston was also damn good, he had a few more horses than Lopez. Can't argue with Casey Stengel's record but talk about horses, it was the Yankees. Others who I thought were damn good were Billy Martin, Chuck Tanner and Tommy Lasorda. BTW...Lopez, Alston and Lasorda in all their years of managing were never fired, that says a lot right there.

One could always hope.

Only if there are some big changes.

Such a dysfunctional organization from the owner to the GM to the manager to the farm system and to the players.

Yep, he screwed up big time bringing in Pollock who is horrible in right field besides regressing with the bat.

Yes there was.

Living in Florida, I watch just about every Rays game, compared to the zombies we have on the Sox, it's like night and day.
