The Mighty Mite

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.

I can't tell you how much I despise TLR for his pathetic managing and his bull crap lineups, almost as much as I despise JR. Unless our guys can't walk, the constant resting of the players has to stop, put the best 9 out there and try to win the friggin division.

The Guards wanted this game a lot more than the Sox, they hustled their ass off while we went through the motions, perfect example was when Giolito was slow in covering first base on a grounder to Abreu. Sometimes I wonder if the Sox know that they are in a race for the division or a a wild card spot or just don't care.

Agree, hope they find the cause.

Robert's health is the most guarded topic since the Manhattan Project.

Can't see him helping us, he's been on a downward trend for about 4 years now, forget about it.

I think they will get a new stadium, though it's harder to get to for us than St. Pete, the new stadium should be built either in the Channelside District near Amalie Arena or Ybor City. There was an article in the paper last week about a new stadium in the current parking lot of the Trop, big mistake, most of the population is in Tampa and suburbs to the north, east and west of Tampa, St. Pete is more of a snowbird town and is a ghost town in the summer.

We moved to Florida in December of 1993, saw Micheal Jordan in ST in Sarasota. My last Sox game in Chicago before the move was the Division clincher in Sept. of 93 though I've been back to Chicago a few times and have seen about 4 games. We have seen the Sox play the Rays many times at Tropicana Field

And slapped all us Sox fans who retired to Florida so they can see their favorite team in Spring Training in Sarasota, another reason I despise JR.

They always say " no news is good news" but I'm wondering in this case.

If it was 1987, it was Fregosi.

3 way tie: Cease, Abreu, Vaughn. Honorable mention: Cueto.

You just can't count on him.

A lefty hitting left fielder is a must, I want Robert in RF and Engel in CF for the second half.
