The Mighty Mite

2 tough pitches by Darwish to get Meidroth.

Why is Beni sitting again?

Don’t get to many games, commute is 1,300 miles. We do take in games when the Sox play the Rays at the Trop, 90 miles door to door. I have watched just about every game this year except when they’re out west, you are correct, they have been very entertaining and these young guys should only get better and I think it would be a crime if they don’t bring in some quality free agents this off season.

What JR has done to the White Sox franchise in his 44 years of ownership is despicable, it’s amazing that there are any Sox fans left at all because of this man, what’s more amazing is that the Sox will draw close to 1.5 million this season.

We need 30+ homer guys in outfield corners. Beni should be the LH DH and will still get plenty of bats as there are more right handed pitchers. It will be interesting if JR gives the OK to bring on some free agents, if not then the Sox will be facing another year of losing baseball but probably avoid 100 losses. Of course we are dealing with JR so my guess is no significant free agents will be signed and it will be more of the same with 2nd and 3rd rate free agents brought aboard.

He does seem like truly a nice guy and in a perfect world he would be a keeper as a broadcaster. If he’s going to stay then I hope something clicks and he makes us proud. One thing, he is better than last year.

A packed house? Nice crowd but the UD is half full, my guess 30K.

He would have been safe, over slid the base.

Way to go Vargo, Sox up 2-0.

Don’t forget who the owner is.

Not much to argue about with that review. We also need new guys when Stone is taking time off, Beckham is horrible and Plesac is a clown.

After 32 years in Florida I had no idea that the Hillside area was crime infested.

Read the next post. I’ve been gone 32 years but what is now where the Hillside shopping center was?

Back in the day I played golf at Fresh Meadow golf course at Wolf Rd and 22nd street, It’s closed now and would be a good spot, Tri State exit is a half mile west with 290 a bit to the north.

I’ve always said if the Sox were to move to the Suburbs, the Hillside/Oakbrook area would be ideal, take a look at a map and you can see that area is right smack dab in the middle of the Metro area.

Not doing the little things to win tight games, this past weekend ln Cleveland was a perfect example.

We have a AAA outfield today.

Why isn’t Beni in the lineup against a righty? Has a homer last night and sits today, Venable sometimes perplexes me.

Well we escaped with only 1 run by the O’s.

All the good things we saw for a few months are being erased with some horrible baseball this past week.

Already Robertson in LF helps turns a single into a double with a bonehead play.

Our guys look like the season can’t end soon enough.

Good job by Sosa, when you’re in a bad slump it’s a good idea to go the other way.

Good start, we need to come back and win this series.

Tauch is handy guy to have around but only coming off the bench, we need to sign a power bat for RF in the off-season.
