The Mighty Mite

Hey Creep, just sell the team, 43 years is enough.

The pathetic numbers are just plain mind boggling with this team.

This is one crazy inning.

Guards look like the Sox this inning.

Andrew Vaughn is an idiot, all he had to do was tag the runner. I wish MLB could somehow fine JR for putting a MLB team this bad on the field, just an utter disgrace. I know it won’t happen but it should.

I doubt if JR has friends.

Jerry Reinsdorf, a name that will live in infamy.

This clown said the roster he put together at the beginning of the year was going to be competitive, competitive teams don’t lose 100+ games.

Agree, I’m not sure if Schumacher is the guy, like you said, they need to conduct a thorough search and wind up with the best guy available, if Schumacher is the guy then go with him.

The Sox would have to give him a 5 year contract.

Those are my thoughts also. Maybe they decide to keep Robert, they can then move him to RF, prolong his career by cutting down on all the running in CF.

Nice job by Flexen today.

Damn I keep looking at the standings and say to myself how can an MLB team be this bad then I come to me senses, this is a minor league team put together by a idiot for a GM who was hired by the worst owner in Professional Sports.

Me too, I think they gave up on him way too soon yet we give guys like Sosa forever to figure it out and they never do.

This is sort of big news.

They came up short of 3 million both years 2,934,154 in 1991 2,957,414 in 2006 White Sox, Royals, A’s, Rays, Reds, Nationals/Expos and Pirates are the only MLB franchises that have failed to draw 3 million fans for a season and yes the Marlins drew over 3 million their first year in 1993.

Those low boxes were bad at Comiskey as the field was pitched, players in the dugout could only see the outfielders from their waist to the head. Wasn’t rectified until 1982.

Wow, great video and find on your part.

Walt, that’s the way I felt back in those days but I liked the Bears too, I never liked the Cubs but because we lived up by Loyola as a kid I went Wrigley quite often from 1957 to 1960 but always rooted for the visiting team, It wasn’t until 1960 that I went to Sox game without an adult.

I made to one Cardinal game, their last year in Chicago was 1959 and they played in Soldier Field that year. My cousin and I went to a beautiful Suday afternoon game in October and they lost to Jimmy Brown and the Cleveland Browns like 34-7, pretty typical. I had a golf buddy here in Florida who died a few years ago, he was a few years older but lived near Midway and he and his buddies would go to Sunday Cardinal games at Comiskey, head downtown for something to eat and then head out to Chicago Stadium for Blackhawk games. I did that with buddies maybe twice with Bear and Blackhawk games. One other Cardinal tidbit, their last 2 or 3 years in Chicago they played 2 home games a year at Metropolitan Stadium up in the Twin Cities.

What exactly is the issue and what is underground?

I’ve never heard that before, I always thought that da Mayor was behind it all the way, why wouldn’t he want it as at the time it would have been a plus for the city. Long time ago but I always thought that it was the Bears who wanted no part of it, they were always associated with the Cubs and if it was a baseball park for the Cubs the Bears probably would have gone along with the plans.

The site was talked about back in the 60s, Arthur Allyn along with Mayor Daley wanted the Sox, Blackhawks and Bears to have stadiums on the site. The Bears balked and had been playing at Wrigley for decades and must of thought they would be playing in the Friendly Confines forever. Wrigley was a great place for Bear games as you were right on top of the action, after the Baseball season was over, Papa Bear Halas would squeeze in a pretty large grandstand in right field which increased capacity to over 45,000 depending on how much standing room tickets were sold. The Bears always started the season with 3 weeks on the road as it took time to erect the temporary seats but I loved watching the Bears at the Friendly Confines.

I live in Florida and watch Sox games, when the Rays are playing at the same time I switch back and forth.
