The Mighty Mite

Ernie Banks hit a lot of homers when he was a SS, 4 years with over 40 and Colson is a lot bigger and stronger so there’s a good chance but I’m going to go with 35. I saw Ernie hit a lot of homers but not the bombs that Monty is launching.

He couldn’t hit that pitch with a broom.

Don’t stop now boys.

Yep, we were historically bad last year so what I’m getting from your take is that it was impossible not to improve but the way the team played in April of this year I thought they were trying for a repeat of the 41 wins of last year.

Maybe a lot of comps .

Looked like more, I figured at least 20,000.

Nice win, take the series tomorrow.

The dreaded lead off walk.

He got all of it, didn’t leave anything in the bag.

Big K there.

Don’t let these bums back in the game.

I’d like to see a consistent lineup where guys can get comfortable game after game. Have we ever had this season the same lineup 2 games in a row, I’m not sure but am willing to bet no.

Grand Salami!!!

We need to start winning some games.

Bad ownership has plagued the franchise down through the years. Even though he was cheap Charlie Comiskey was pretty successful in the first 20 years of the franchise with the Sox winning 4 pennants including 2 WS and should have won a third, they also had 15 years of their first 20 where they finished with a winning record. One has to wonder what would have happened if not for the 1919 Black Sox.

It’s funny how things change, as you said the Sox will draw around 1.4 million this year, it took the franchise 59 years to draw that many when they drew 1,423,000 in 1959. They drew over 1.6 million in 1960 and led the AL in attendance, that’s the last time the Sox led the league in attendance. Back when they were pretty good from 1900 to 1919 they actually led MLB in attendance quite a few years.

Yeah but the 2024 White Sox were historically bad, one of the worst teams ever.

.450 (73-89) would be marvelous.

Well they are.

Monty! We have a tie ball game.

Lee is needed if a one of the catchers gets hurt during a game and then you lose the DH. What I would really like to see is Teel eventually winding up at first base.

About time.

Thank you Jerry Reinsdorf, without a doubt the worst owner in the history of the franchise.

Tough loss and a bad road trip.

Another very good outing by Perez.
