The Mighty Mite

I’m going to surprise you with my second pick, I’d go with Robert Clemente.

I’ve always said that if I had to pick one player in the history of the game to start an MLB team it would have to be Willie, he was truly a 5 tool player.

The Say Hey Kid is gone, one of the greatest and most exciting baseball players ever. I was lucky enough to see him play a few times at Wrigley in the late 1950s, may he rest in peace.

That’s a fact.

Another thing, the White Sox all time record right now is 9572-9545, IIRC after the GO GO years the White Sox all time record was around 250 games over .500 now down to 27 games over. At the end of 2024 the Sox all time record for the first time since I became a Sox fan will be under .500. Of the original 16 teams the only teams under .500 are the Twins (old Senators), Athletics, Orioles ( Browns) and the Phillies. Sox W-L record by decade, does not include the 2024 season.

He’s a traitor, Rory choked with bogeys on 3 of the last 4 holes.

Because we have a jerk for an owner.

DeJong has a good chance of breaking the record for most homers by a Sox shortstop held by Jose Valentin who had 30 in 2004.

Someone will probably take a chance on them but for peanuts with some incentives.

4 homers! Murderers Row! This team is still bad but they are much more likable (except for Grifol) than the 2022 and 2023 White Sox. They should just DFA Eloy and Moncada, those 2 have never been likable and are not needed any longer.

Arabia Arena has a nice ring to it.

My guess is 39, maybe 40.

Please don’t trade Crochet and Robert, they need to build around those two guys. You never know what you’re going to get in return, look at the Sale trade, how did that work out.

Thanks for the correction, it was 9 in a row.

Especially the Rays.

I was, great time but the ironic thing is when we won the pennant in 1959 the Yankees weren’t much of a factor that year. Cleveland wound up second and I remember a key series in late August when we went into Cleveland and swept a 4 game series against the Indians in front of huge crowds, IIRC there were 70,000 for the Friday night game and over 60,000 for the Sunday DH. The 60s came along and the Yankees went to the WS 5 straight years from 60 to 64, the Sox had their best chance in 64 finishing 1 game behind the Yanks but the Sox had to win the last 10 in a row to finish that 1 game behind. The Sox were damn good in 63,64 and 65 winning more games than any other team in MLB those 3 years but never saw the post season, they won 94, 98 and 95 games those 3 years, the best 3 consecutive years in Sox history.

No, a complete housecleaning is needed.

Grifol is horrible but Getz has given us a bullpen that can’t get anyone out and blows one game after another, both of these clowns have to go.

So what is going on with Robert, didn’t he say the other day that things are going to get better with the Sox and sounding like he wants to be part of it.

If he can’t stay healthy he will never put up Superstar numbers. That being said I still think they should build around Robert and Crochet and hoping that Robert can stay on the field.

The man must have no pride at all as he has put the franchise in the worst position since the 1919 Black Sox. He has to care a little bit that he is in charge of the second worse franchise in MLB and probably all of the Professional Sports franchises. Maybe all he cares about is that he can laugh on the way to the bank, well screw him.

It’s time to DFA Kopech, the guy is never going to figure things out.

Is it just me or are the Sox going for the record in roster moves for a season.

You know what’s sort of funny, the best friend I’ve had in my 30 years in Florida is from Boston. Great guy, when the White Sox won it all in 2005 he special ordered for me a dozen Titleist Pro V 1 golf balls with the White Sox World Series Championship logo with my name also on them.

It has to be a haul and hopefully guys that can help right away, I’ll be 79 soon, too old, I’m done with tanking and rebuilds.
