The Mighty Mite

The Sox will never become lovable losers because only a few of us love them along with an unlovable ballpark in an unlovable part of town. A new ball park somewhere in the Chicago Metro area but not at 35th and Shields would help along with new ownership.

The Sox could have won all three games, I’m seeing guys at the plate with horrible at bats swinging at pitches head high or down in the dirt, granted some are just plain bad hitters but maybe try something different like maybe a bunt or working the count, they have no idea what manufacturing runs mean. How much longer before they give Elko a shot.

Remember it well, I was bagging oranges at the Kroger store in Rogers Park where I had an after school job and was listening to the game on a pocket transistor radio, I always thought that Big Nick was going to be another Mickey Mantle, obviously that didn’t happen.

Yes he’s hurt, some kind of leg tightness.

This is for me actually hard, we’ve had so many bad players in my 73 years of being a Sox fan but because to me to be on a Mt. Rushmore of Infamy you have to be despised and there are only 2 individuals that I’ve really detested in those years and they are Claudell Washington and Pedro Grifol, I guess I could add Ron Santo but I really can’t think of a 4th guy. Chris Sale and scissor gate could get him a spot but he was so good for us it’s hard to add him. If we are adding owners to the equation then it’s without a doubt, Jerry Reinsdorf and this isn’t something new, I never cared or trusted the man along with his buddy Eddie Einhorn going back to 1983.

I don’t know how much longer they can go with him especially with Elko tearing it up in Charlotte.

Absolutely.

2 things, I think this team will improve as the weeks go by, might win more than 60 games. Second thing is, Schriffen is also improving.

They’ll screw it up.

Can we send Vaughn to AZ also?

I’m not sure Veneble was the right guy for manager, I thought Sizemore deserved a shot at a full season after doing a half way decent job last year with basically a AAA team.

He’s about the opposite of a 5 tool player.

Me too but Leasure caught a break on that 3-2 pitch.

You just know they won’t hold the lead.

It’s too early, once we see some warm weather they will have a better idea.

The truth hurts.

Vargas! All right, we have our 3 runs, gotta hold em

Anybody could hit better than Amaya, he’s at .087, bring up Montgomery and throw him out there everyday and let him sink or swim. We can’t do worse with this 5-19 juggernaut.

I went to one of their last games in Chicago in 1959. After playing at Comiskey Park for years for some reason they played at Soldier Field for their last season in Chicago. After all these years and now being in Arizona I still have a very small spot in my heart for the Cards. BTW Papa Bear Halas never did the Cards any favors when they were in Chicago.

Just curious, has any White Sox hitting coach fixed someone.

There are just no words to describe the state of the franchise, everything to be said has been said many many times on these and other White Sox forums, we have choices, living in Florida I’ve become a fan of the Rays but they aren’t in my DNA like the Sox but I’m so very close to giving up on a team that I have lived and died with for 73 years, sometimes as I’m watching loss after loss, tears come to my eyes but then I change gears and so much hate starts coming out of me for Reinsdorf and what he has done to our team. I just can’t see the franchise and team becoming legitimate contenders again as the man refuses to do what it takes to win in this day and age, when he hired Getz, that was the handwriting on the wall. How much more of this can White Sox fans take, what is happening to the fan base, by the time this team can contend again, will there be any fans left that really care, I’m not sure.

If 30,000 show up one day and everyone has a sign, I’d love to see them try to confiscate them all.

He’s a pimp.

That’s exactly what’s happening in regards to deliberately alienating what’s left of the fan base. I truly believe we are seeing the last days of the franchise in Chicago.

A fish rots from the head.
