The Mighty Mite

They had a bunch of years in the GO GO era that would have been WC teams including 63, 64 and 65, those were the 3 best consecutive seasons victory wise in Sox history, they won 94, 98 and 95 games in those 3 years, finished second to the Yankees twice and then the Twins, what else is new.

The 1977 team also won 90 games and finished 3rd but there never was more fun than that year.

1981 was also a disappointment as the Sox were playing great ball and were a game out of 1st place when the players went on strike. I was at the last game as the Sox beat the Yankees. The season started up again in August and MLB decided to have a split season so the Sox got screwed losing the first half by that 1 game. They didn't play well the second half and were never a factor.

Why?

My comment was more about how bad Moncada is than how good Leury is. I haven't been a fan of Moncada since his first full year when he struck out 214 times, if Moncada never plays another game for the Sox, it wouldn't break my heart at all. Anyhow, I'm happy I gave you a few chuckles.

About what?

Right now Leury is better than Moncada.

I'd love if they could move him in fact I would do hand springs and I'm 76 years old.

Didn't we learn awhile back that he has ADD. The Red Sox probably knew this and dumped him on us.

Yoan Moncada needs a lobotomy.

Hard to do with his contract.

Once in awhile he gets a big hit, that's once in awhile.

TA a few years ago was thinking of helping out the team by moving to centerfield, anyone think he could handle CF with moving Robert to RF. Robin Yount did it.

Right, they are hotter than hell and we get to play them next, figures.

Don't hold your breath.

This.

Dislike and hate are 2 different things, yeah I dislike TA.

So many guys I really dislike, Moncada, TA, Eloy and now Robert. These guys are entering Claudell Washington territory who for decades has been my least favorite Sox player of all time.

Same as last year, he couldn't hit a beach ball in the second half.

The 2022 Sox were not built to win from the beginning as there were gaping holes at second base and right field plus no replacement for the loss of Rodon. In that respect they cannot be considered a monumental disappointment like the 69 Cubs as they were in first place for 5+ months and really blew the division title though the Mets did play like crazy in the last 6 weeks to overtake the Flubs The 1963,1964, 1965, 1967, 1972, 1977, 1983, 1993, 2000, 2008, 2020 and 2021 Sox teams were bigger disappointments for me than 2022 Sox. Yes some did win a division but fell flat on their faces in the playoffs.

The magic words are unlimited budget.

Do what the Ray's do. Living in Florida I watch almost every Rays game, they have to have the best scouts and player evaluation people ever. Every year they trade off a star but get back a guy who becomes a stud, the Austin Meadows to Detroit trade for Issac Peredes is a perfect example. They also have a manager that isn't comatose. It's obvious now for a year that the Sox are a .500 ball club, they will drive you insane as they are world beaters in one series and look like the 1970 White Sox in the next series. Changes are needed, I see no untouchables on this team.

None of our guys are candidates for the Mensa Society.

He's only going to get older.

That would be the Mighty Moncada.
