The Mighty Mite

I'm also tired of TA's act. Remember a few years ago when the Sox needed a Centerfielder and TA said he wouldn't mind giving it a try, maybe it's time. You can move Robert to RF which might lengthen his career. Can Yolbert Sanchez play shortstop because this kid is probably ready, if not the Sox should try to get Taylor Walls from the Rays.

My guess is Burger was sent down to play second base as Harrison hasn't been the answer.

Yes, wrist injuries can be a real nuisance, I had a wrist strain from hitting a root while golfing back in 1990, it took a year and a half before it was 100% again but AV's is not a strain so I think he will be back much sooner. Cortisone wouldn't help with an injury like mine but should help with any inflammation that AV is experiencing.

I despise everything Red Sox including their fans I'd rather beat them than the Cubs, 2 out of 3 would be great but with the pitching matchups, I only feel good about Sunday. BTW, that goes for the Bruins and the Pats, Celtics and NBA, couldn't care less.

If a pitcher wound up with 300 wins for a career he was just about assured of entry into the HOF I can't name one pitcher with 300 wins who isn't in the Hall except for Clemens and we know why he's not in. I would venture to say we will never see another pitcher with 300 career wins maybe not even 200, what the new criteria will be for entry in the HOF will be is interesting, I'm sure ERA will be a factor along with strikeouts and probably WHIP and WAR.

Like some have said, pitchers W-L aren't that relevant anymore but if they are going to reward a W to someone it's time to change the rule to maybe giving it to the pitcher who threw the most innings like Kopech last night. The pitcher of course would have to be the pitcher of record when he was relieved otherwise everything else would remain the same.

Don't swing for the fences, line drives will work.

Great job by Cease and the bullpen, lets sweep the Flubs. We should be much better once we get Yoan back, we need his lefty bat in the lineup.

Cut him or use him as a mop up guy but then you take up a spot on the roster. The answer is to cut him.

I'm 76 and go back to the early 50's and the GO GO SOX and 17 years of winning baseball, what I'm watching right now is extremely painful with lots of heartache. I've seen some bad White Sox baseball down through the years especially with the 68,69 and 70 teams who were as bad as can be but didn't have anywhere near the talent of the 2022 team. I thought that with 2 playoff appearances in a row we were on our way to some great baseball on the Southside with a good chance of a World Series Championship in the near future. We were all taken in by a great first half last year but since then it's been like someone turned off a switch and the Sox turned into a bad team that forgot how to play the game. Our hitters have no clue, can't work a count if their life depended on it, last night a perfect example with 3 hits and 1 lousy walk. The defense hasn't been good either and usually is caused by a lack of concentration and sometimes laziness. Living in Florida I watch a lot of Rays games and the difference is like night and day between the 2 clubs starting with the manager and the attitude of the players and their approch to the game. It's still early and there's still a chance to turn this around, maybe once everyone is healthy and with a little attitude adjustment the team can get back to winning baseball. We are in the worst division in MLB and if they don't dig themselves too big of a hole they can come back and get back to the playoffs.

Picking him up was a typical JR move, trying to win on the cheap.

He'll probably be patrolling left field for the Sox next year, we have coaches that can fix guys.

Because they are in a division of AAA teams. The trouble is the last 8 games the Sox look like an AA team.

That makes too much sense.

Hard not to do when you have a team with a bunch of DH's on it.

I don't want him at first base anymore but once the weather warms up I expect Jose to start hitting again.

I remember 1968 well, my first losing season as Sox fan and I followed them from the other side of the World while in Vietnam. They did lose their first 10 games and Eddie Stanky was fired around mid-season.

My guess is I'm a lot older than you as I became a Sox fan in 1952 and was spoiled with all those winning seasons of the GO-GO SOX through 1967. 2005 is still the best Sox season ever but the 1959 AL Pennant winners are still my favorite Sox team, something about boyhood heroes.

The Go Go era gave us 17 straight winning seasons and until 1960 was under the ownership of Grace and her son Chuck Comiskey. Grace died around 1957 and Chuck and sister Dorothy had a family feud with Veeck picking up the pieces in 59. We just happened to play runner up all the time to those great Yankee teams with Mantle, Berra, Ford, Skowron and Maris. At least we made to the WS in 59. Veeck was a huckster who never had enough money plus he traded away a bunch of promising youngsters after 1959, Callison Romano, Battey and Mincher were gone and in came veterans like Sievers, Freese and Minnie Minoso who gave us hope but that's all. The owner who had very good success was Arthur Allyn, the 3 best consecutive years in Sox history were in 63, 64, and 65 when the Sox rang up 94, 98 and 95 wins. We also almost won the pennant in 1967. Arthur sold to brother John and he ran out of money and we almost lost the Sox to Seattle in 1975 but Veeck came in at the last minute to keep the team in Chicago. Veeck and his syndicate barely had a pot to piss in and when free agency came around they couldn't compete with the big spenders. At least we had 1977 which as much fun as ever on the Southside. 1981 came around and brought us JR.

You hit the nail right on the head with JR, some give him a pass for 2005 and if the Sox hadn't won the World Series, JR would go down as the worst owner in the teams history. The man has alienated Sox fans on so many different occasions it's amazing that so many of us stuck have with the team.

No doubt that injuries have hurt but I have bigger issues with TLR. The man should have never been hired, I was against the signing from the get go. I'm not sure at his age if he man can relate to our guys, I'd love to see a younger guy at the helm. I'm also wondering if at 86 years old J.R might be losing it and running a baseball franchise is too much for him. What his thought process was in the hiring TLR would be interesing. The team since the mid point of 2021 is basically a .500 team and was a flop in the Playoffs as we watched TLR make a lot of bungling moves which had all of us scratching our heads. Living in Florida I watch a lot of Rays and Marlins games along with the Sox and to me when I watch the Sox there is something missing, I see a lot of bad fundamentals, I see dumb baseball and I see a team with no sense of urgency, I'm not sure these guys are as good as everyone and themselves think. A team just doesn't start playing winning baseball at the flip of a switch, you have to work at it and sometimes I wonder if the work ethic is there with them.

The Sox won thier last 10 games but could only pick up 3 games on the Yankees and finished 1 game out. I remember a glorious 4 game sweep over the Yankees in August, a Monday through Thursday series and old Comiskey was rocking.

Horlen was one of the best Sox pitchers ever but was number 1 in hard luck losses. I thought when he pitched the no hitter in September of 67 the Sox were on their way to the A. L. Pennant.
