The Mighty Mite

A nice winning streak would be nice. Paddack on the bump for Detroit, Peguero for the Sox.

Didn’t know that.

If ticket prices went up, they didn’t go up much, we could go to Sox or Cubs game in the late 1950s for a dollar for an unreserved grandstand seat and 75 cents to sit in the bleachers. Kids paid 10 cents for a bus or L ride to the ballparks.

At some the point high ticket prices along with the prices of everything else at the ballparks will reach a point where fans will say enough is enough, this just might be what is going on in St. Louis and other small market clubs.

I don’t know but they count seats sold not actual bodies at the game, normally there would 40,000+ seats sold for a Cubs-Cards game.

He can get that OPS up to where it should be in the .800 range by taking some walks, only 13 so far this with 81Ks. For comparison Tauchman has the same BA as Sosa but his OPS is .814 because he’s had 33 walks.

Something is going on in St.Louis, failed to sell out any of this past weekend games against the Cubs. I turned on the game last night and couldn’t believe how many empty seats, only 30,000 showed up, that’s unheard of in Redbird land.

I think I'm going to throw up.

Hauser with another bad start giving up 4 runs to the Ms in the first inning with 45 pitches, this could wind up being a damn good trade.

Now time for a nice winning streak, Tigers aren’t burning it up, 14-19 in their last 33.

One thing going for Mead is he came up through the Rays organization, when they bring up a guy he’s had had good minor league training. Mead with the bat should get better because he never had a long run with the Rays, unfortunately when Vargas comes back he’s going to be in the same situation.

Because it was a great swing, I hope Robert paid attention on how to go down and get to the baseball.

I thought that was gone.

C’mon, let’s get those runs back.

We needed a tested veteran manager instead of a guy who is going through OJT but when you have a cheapskate owner that’s what you get.

It’s our pitching that’s been the big culprit this past week.

Here we go.

My guess there will be some intense work going on in the off season but I like Meidroth at 2B, let’s go with Sosa at third.

One week ago we led 5-0 and blew it, don’t blow this one.

I don’t get the bunt, the pitcher’s getting hammered and you bunt. My guess Venable called for the bunt because you know Baldwin wants to swing the bat. I’m not a fan Venable.

Those sidearm throws aren’t working, they all wind up on the 3B side of second.

Only difference was Borchards was more right-center.

Another bomb by Monty, 452 feet, Sox up 3-0.

Sosa puts us up 2-0 with bomb over the bullpen in LF.
