The Mighty Mite

Somewhere around that number, at least it seems that way.

Please just DFA Kopech, they aren’t going to get anything for him, I never want to see him pitch in a White Sox uniform again.

Too many walks.

We could have put this game out of reach there but…..

Go figure.

Why?

The guy has the tools but there’s something missing with him, could be Moncada syndrome.

What the hell was Mendick thinking.

They’re still working out details and nothing is official but if they get the new stadium it will be built in St. Pete a block from the Trop.

They built the place in the wrong town, they didn’t draw that bad when they played at Pro Player Park. They should have built the new park around Ft Lauderdale right in the middle of the metro area with Palm Beach to the north and Miami to the south. Most of the money is between Lauderdale and Palm Beach and many won’t make the drive down to Miami. They’re doing the same thing in Tampa with the new park going to be a block away from Tropicana Field. The Rays have wanted to have the new stadium built near downtown Tampa for years but never could get a deal done.

He’s a mess in the field and at the plate.

C’mon Benintendi, you’re being paid 15 million a year and you can’t show some hustle on a ground out, **** this guy.

He really struggled in that inning, threw a ton of pitches, he has to be done for the day which means that a game I thought the Sox would win are now going to lose it.

I think we have a pretty good starting 3 in Crochet, Fedde and Thorpe, so you don’t need a major rebuild if almost half the battle is won with the starters, the starting staff pitchers were the best since June 1 leading the AL in ERA so why trade them. I say focus on the position players building around Robert, Vaughn, Lee and Montgomery. Sosa is showing he might be a keeper also. Nicky Lopez might work out in a utility role. We’re stuck with Benintendi and the only hope is that he has an epiphany and returns to the player he once was. If JR is willing to spend some money this offseason I think the Sox could be a .500 team in 2025. In 2026 a few guys from Birmingham might be ready to help and by 2027 we should be contenders but only if Reinsdorf spends some money or even better would be if he sells the team to someone who won’t run the team as if they are the small market Pittsburgh Pirates.

Now 5-4 against the Guards, too bad we stink against the rest of the Central.

The ball wasn’t all that deep, a Roberto Clemente or a Rocky Colovito throw would have got the runner at home plate. Robert might have but he was flat footed on the play, he should have run further back and then come in on the ball but that’s Robert. The Cleveland announcers couldn’t believe there wasn’t a throw. The game was basically over when Kopech tripped all over himself allowing the runner to get to third, can we just DFA this guy.

Yeah but it’s a cash cow.

I agree.

I agree and every time I come across an article that rates the MLB ballparks, GRF moves up a notch or 2 in the rankings. It’s too bad they can’t just move GRF to area 78 turn it around and face Sears Tower and the rest of downtown, it would be perfect though I would get rid of the huge advertising boards and scoreboards in LF and RF so the view would even be better.

Sorry but no way, this guy is toast.

Some of these retro parks are jokes as they try to out-quirk the last one. The old ballparks built in the early 20th century had quirks but they were out of necessity as they were built on small city parcels and bringing into account what the team owners could afford. I think PNC Park in Pittsburgh and Oriole Park are the best.

I think Hate Rate field has a nice ring to it. Actually the ballpark has come a long way after what the original monstrosity looked like. One of the few good things that Reinsdorf did was seeing the error of his ways and did a very good job in restructuring the place.

Then Kup would say, hey Jack pass the mustard. I had an uncle that also worked for the Sun Times in those years and told me that Kup never paid for a meal in Chicago plus other things, a plug in the column was all that was needed. Of course Chicago’s motto in those days was “The City on the Take”.

Gooooooooooooal !!!!!!

I heard and saw that too, pretty lame.
