The Mighty Mite

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 19, 2016 -> 08:39 PM) I have outfield seats for Shields next start vs Seattle. Should be interesting Bring your Goalie gear.

QUOTE (harkness @ Aug 17, 2016 -> 08:16 PM) I love how Jose likes to take the first pitch right down the middle then flail at nearly every other pitch. It's a pretty genius process. It's an epidemic with Sox hitters this year.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 14, 2016 -> 03:29 PM) It's not the call that annoys me, it's the lack of consistency. Either enforce the rule at all times or don't enforce it. Just about every play at home plate this year in the games( Sox, Rays Marlins and ESPN) I have watched have all been called correctly. It's the best thing they ever did was changing that rule. Sanchez was out as the way the rule now reads be but he would have been safe 2 years ago which was a joke.

QUOTE (Scoots @ Aug 14, 2016 -> 01:41 PM) Frazier just loooves swinging at that down and away slider Seems like we've seen it about 1000 times this year.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 14, 2016 -> 01:38 PM) Nice play by Anderson. Abreu is a DH Huge play, Konerko gets it on the short hop.

Slowest man on the team at 3rd and we have the contact play on, what the hell is with Ventura.

I'm on my knees praying right now hoping this is true. Said some Our Fathers and and a few Hail Marys. Going to go to confession also.

Game tied 3-3!

Melky continues to hit the ball, our best everyday player this year.

Where did Chris Sale go? Not the same guy we saw early in the year. This could be a disaster of a road trip.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Aug 7, 2016 -> 02:46 PM) Well, right now he's talking about painting Steve Stone's face. I've had enough of the Benetti Comedy Hours.

Now we have Sox Math, who's idea was this, it's time for it to go away.

QUOTE (Insp @ Aug 7, 2016 -> 02:11 PM) What's the difference between putting Albers in and just simply forfeiting? Maybe they will invoke the slaughter rule.

QUOTE (Insp @ Aug 7, 2016 -> 01:58 PM) Over at the Orioles Hangout, 177 fans are viewing their game thread with over 150 posts already. Meanwhile there are only 8 members and 23 guests on the SoxTalk game thread that has only 13 posts. I just came over from WSI, I was the only one over there posting in the game thread. The Sox fan base is shrinking, this embarrassing outing by Shields isn't going to help things.

I'm really down on Abreu, he's out of shape, can't field and is slower than Konerko. All that plus if he's 28, I'm a monkey's uncle. I'd like to see Frazier at first base, Lawrie at 3rd and Saladino at second. Abreu can DH along with Morneau.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 10, 2016 -> 02:50 PM) Safe. Bad play by Abreu Amen to that, Abreu is just not himself this season. No power, slower than Konerko and scares me around first base.

QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Jul 10, 2016 -> 02:16 PM) Another special guest? This one in middle school? Man, I hear about Donald Trump like 300 times in a day. This is supposed to be a sanctuary, damnit! Also, I think that was AJ's 400th double. Which not many catchers have done, but rather than telling the world that, Steve Stone would rather press a twelve year old into doing a Jason Benetti impersonation. Exactly, I'd like to see some sense of urgency out of Benetti, he seems like he wants to be a comedian instead of a PXP guy. Maybe he doesn't care if the Sox win or lose but we sure do.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jul 10, 2016 -> 08:02 AM) The Cubs only need to go 65-10 the rest of the way to break the all time wins record. After all, they are the greatest team ever. Now on pace for 97 wins. Same as last years squad They will win just over 90 and might make a WC spot. I think the Pirates and Cards will both catch the Flubs which leaves one WC Spot which they will have to fight the Mets and Dodger for.

QUOTE (Insp @ Jul 2, 2016 -> 05:00 PM) Given how he can't lay off swinging at pitches outside the strike zone, perhaps J.B. should have his last name legally changed to Schmuck. That's an epidemic on this team. They swing at anything and pitchers don't have to throw strikes to get them out.

WTF.....is Navarro blind, then he gets back to the dugout and is laughing about it. I'm am oldster and if Al Lopez was managing and it was in the 1950s Navarro would be sitting on the bench for 2 weeks besides being fined. Just terrible baseball.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 26, 2016 -> 01:56 PM) Hugging the opponent should be a fine. At one time before the game you were not allowed to talk to the opposition, it was called fraternization and was subject to a fine from the league.

Double Depression.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 07:55 PM) Are there people here who still think we have a chance this season? Hell no.

I don't think this team can beat the Twins right now. The way we have been playing for the last month, we will be lucky to win 70 games.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 02:03 PM) The Cubs relied on that for decades. No, they relied on Wrigley Field.
