The Mighty Mite

Very few have been more frustrated than me, 70 years a Sox fan starting in 1952 and I've seen it all. I've never liked JR and have put up with so much of his garbage running the franchise like a mid market club but it will never get bad enough to become a Cub fan. I was born a few minutes from Comiskey and the Sox are in my DNA and as bad as things get sometimes the Sox have still given me a lifetime of some great thrills especially in the GO GO years and of course 2005. I have seen some great players like Nellie, Looie, Minnie, Billy, Dick Allen and Big Hurt come and go that produced those thrills of which I will never forget.

Well there's this, the off season can't get any worse, hopefully better.

Wood pitched over 300 innings 4 years in a row and 291 the 5th year, granted he was a knuckleballer but still......

Warren Spahn, saw him pitch a few times at Wrigley.

We will never see another 300 game winner, Kershaw might have a chance.

Things have really changed, I remember in 1959 Billy Pierce pitching 16 innings in a game that went 18 innings in Baltimore and ended in a 1-1 tie because of curfew laws. Juan Marichal once went 18 innings in a game he won 1-0. Guys like those 2 and Gibson, Jenkins, Koufax and Drysdale were always throwing complete games and on 3 days rest. Now we get 5 innings from starters and think thats great.

I disagree on Cooper, he wore out his welcome. As far as Katz, I'm not sure if he is the answer either.

Where's Rick Renteria these days?

Exactly, thats a 16 million dollar gamble.

We had that little streak at the end of the season but the rest of the second half wasn't the stuff Champions are made of. 1st half 54 -35 2nd half 39-34

Anytime you win the division you did something special and I'm happy for that but something happened after the All Star break and I wish I were an expert and could analyze exactly why they were so mediocre in the second half and really outclassed by the Astros in the playoffs.

Too early to give up on Eloy but he sure didn't live up to expectations, could be he wasn't 100% coming back from the surgery, I don't think Robert and Grandal were 100% either.

I won't watch the Astros-Red Sox and hope the NL Champs beat crap out of the AL Champs.

Pretty please, NO.

Exactly, they lost Glasnow to TJS and traded Snell and let Morton walk. Thats 3 quality pitchers that were missing on the 2021 playoff roster.

Me too, i remember pulling so hard for them in the 67 and 75 World Series.

For sure.

I've noticed that too, these are the playoffs, unless they are hurt there has to be more hustle.

When looking at population you have to look at the Metro area and while the city has lost residents the Metro area has not. When I was growing up in the 50s the city's population was 3.6 million and the metro area was a little over 5 million. Now the city is at 2.7 million but the metro area is just under 10 million, still 3rd largest in the nation. The White Sox aren't moving anywhere when the lease is up except maybe a new stadium close to downtown.

Gotta hold em.

The way the Sox played in the second half, no one should be surprised by this for shit performance in this series.

How about 2 or 3.

Simply unbelievable, TLR has lost it.

Just take 1 game at a time, all you can do.

They dumped on Harry Caray and Jimmy Piersall right in the middle of the celebration, called them scumbags.
