The Mighty Mite

I remember many times back in the day taking the Madison Ave bus out to Chicago Stadium to see Blackhawk games and remember many cold snowy nights. When I was 14 in 1960 a good buddy and I went downtown to see Mayor Richard J. Daley’s torch light parade for JFK the Friday night before the election, some pol gave us Vote For JFK signs and we marched out to the Stadium down Madison Ave and were able to see JFK make a speech, we sat in an aisle way up in the second balcony. After the speech we walked back downtown and the parade was still going on, that was Mayor Daley for you. BTW 14 year old kids could do stuff like that back then with blessings from our parents.

I moved to Florida 30 years ago but I thought I read somewhere that the area around the United Center and the near West Side is the next hot spot in the city. Personally, I don’t think it’s that great as it’s a long walk from the Loop.

I agree that there is nothing wrong with the ballpark, even though the upper deck is steep I’ve seen some of the new parks with upper decks just as steep. The thing is that the Sox at 35th and Shields have never been a huge draw, they are one of the few franchises in MLB and the only big market team that has failed to draw 3 million fans in a season, true Sox fans will travel there to see a game but the casual fans and the out of towers will not. It’s location, location, location.

If they stay in the city, this is the place. It’s exact location is just south of Roosevelt Road, east of the River and west of Clark street,

Nope.

Something out of The Twilight Zone.

I’m leaning towards that theory that the bullet was a stray fired from outside the park.

We just returned from a cruise and we never saw so many extremely overweight people.

In all of baseball. If they started the season with the current roster they couldn’t beat the worst team in my lifetime, the 1962 expansion Mets who went 40-120.

It’s a done deal.

This is my 71st year following the Sox and I’ve never hated a team as much as this bunch, I’m so embarrassed right now as I just went out and ripped off my White Sox car decal. This is worse than the 1970 team, these stiffs we have this year have quit and have absolutely no pride.

Grifol and Katz need to go like right now.

If the season started today the White Sox would be the worst team in the Majors. I’m not watching this s%*# anymore, back to the Rays game.

Dylan Cease continues to be a major disappointment.

Exactly.

Sox reach the 50 win mark, only 7 more wins and they beat out the worst Sox team in history.

I’ll take it.

Can’t believe the Ms didn’t score. Might as well win it now, it will look good on Grifol’s resume.

17Ks by Sox hitters, they’re so good at working the count.

How can they right everything wrong with this team. It’s going to take a miracle.

Please fire this incompetent fool now and let Montoyo finish out the season.

You just knew they were going to blow another one.

I guess it’s too hot for that kind of stuff.

I’ve been drinking gallons of Gatorade and water while play golf this hottest summer ever in Florida and I’ve still had a couple of scary issues with heat exhaustion.
