The Mighty Mite

Sort of pointless to make lineup predictions as I’m sure there will be some changes especially in the outfield corners, we really need power as the corners and DH.

I had mixed feelings with Katz, I wasn’t happy when he was hired and I’m OK with him gone but he did good work with the starters this season but the bullpen was a disaster, please Getz go out there and hire the best that you can find. I also have mixed feelings with Venable, so if he’s not going anywhere I hope he learns from a lot of mistakes in his rookie season as manager. His bullpen management could have been better and I also think he went the safe route on lefty- righty situations too many times with both our hitters and pitchers, sometimes you have let instincts take over. The positive is that the team played hard for him, we have a good bunch of players with no real jerks. It could have been very easy to just let the season play out but these guys busted their butts to the last out in the last game and some credit goes to Venable. Bottom line on all of this is when Ishbia takes over my guess is everybody will be gone, we have to remember this still one the worst organizations in professional sports.

We have 3 good catchers and only 1 should be the primary guy with Lee the backup, I’m fine with Quero being the guy and if Teel could play the outfield or first base, that’s OK with me.

Exactly, no way JR throws away 30 million dollars.

I’d make Beni the DH against right handed pitching. I think Teel is the everyday catcher with Lee the backup which makes Quero trade bait.

The biggest cancer is the owner.

I gave him a C, how do you build a team working for an owner who would make Ebeneezer Scrooge proud.

Nice way to end the season with a series win as we reach 60 wins.

I agree, I really like the kid but what is his best position. I don’t want him bouncing around.

We never watched Cubs games when Harry was doing their games. I watched tons of Cub games during the Brickhouse years, of course always pulling for the team playing the Cubs. As a kid and starting to ride the L at 11 years old I probably saw 20 games at Wrigley with my boyhood chums before we finally made it to Comiskey in 1960 when we were 14.

Even my wife as she walked by the TV said how can you listen to this s%*# as Schriffen was singing the Nationwide song. She was a big Harry Caray fan.

They will need more.

Vargas puts us up 2-0 with a bomb, 16 homers and a nice even 60 RBI, who would have thunk it after last season. BTW, Do any of you know that Vargas made a swing change early on in the season.

He had a very respectable season in the field, not too good with the bat but still cranked out 9 homers and drove in 34 runs, not all that bad for our 5th outfielder. Maybe he can get his 10th homer today which would give us 7 guys in double digit homers. Good luck to him in his retirement.

Not sure if there was something definitive there.

Too bad as Burke did such a nice job.

Tie game as the bullpen melts down again.

Yep, wouldn’t bother me at all if they all forgot about city connect uniforms.

Baldwin took a bad route, should have caught it. They gave him an error which sort of surprises me.

We now have 6 guys with double digits in homers.

4-0, we got em right were we want them, should win it 10-9.

Rain delay, game expected to start at 4:45. Back to watching the Euros beating up the Yanks in the Ryder Cup.

Let’s go for a sweep.

Saturday AM matches over as Europe adds to their lead which is now 8.5- 3.5. Its going to take a miracle for the USA to win this years Ryder Cup. They need to sweep the PM matches. matches.

It was embarrassing as the Sox blew an 8-2 lead, I’m amazed they actually came back and won it.
