The Mighty Mite

Whatever is going on it’s going to be a monumental undertaking to get the White Sox back to respectability. The only hope right now is that the AA Birmingham Barons are having a great year and eventually there might be some help on the way but the most important thing that is needed in new ownership.

Jimmy Landis and Ken Berry were the best White Sox Centerfielders of all time, Landis won 5 Gold Gloves, Berry won 2. Before my time, the word is Mike Kreevich was also very good and was Gold Glove caliber.

Grifol isn’t being held accountable because we have a GM that is as inexperienced and incompetent as his manager and probably has no idea when Grifol screws up.

Yeah, good organizations call up players that contribute but not the Sad Sox.

The Sox keep arranging deck chairs on the Titanic, besides the horrible record everything else is a disaster, do any of these call-ups ever work out, what a clown show.

I expected exactly what he’s giving us, some power with a decent OPS, low BA along with decent fielding.

This might be his last chance, he wasn’t tearing up things at Charlotte and he went 0 for 4 yesterday.

Living in Florida it would still bother me if the Sox left Chicago, that’s the place I grew up and spent the first 48 years of my life in with a great childhood and wonderful memories especially with the White Sox.

I played Little League Baseball there in 1957 and 1958.

I was thinking that maybe it has already set in, we’ve seen some bizarre moves by him with bringing TLR back and the hiring of a failed Getz. Who else would have done that?

I wonder if he even knows how despised he is by White Sox fans.

Delete.

JR the greedy bastard must do the right thing and sell, he said last year when Hahn and Williams were fired and Getz hired that things would get better, he lied like the POS he is and the franchise is at a just about an all time low right down there with the Black Sox. I hate hearing that apathy is rampant among the fans, I know you think that there is no way the White Sox leave Chicago but if the fans are apathetic and no one cares, what happens then.

He wants to win but only his way, how’s that working out.

I’ll take the under for wins.

I feel so much better knowing according to Schriffen that the Sox aren’t that bad and just unlucky that they catching teams while they are hot, I’m sure things will average out.

I can’t laugh at any of this except that Getz actually thought he had put together a competitive team. This is really hard for me, I’ve lived and died for 72 years with the White Sox and I never thought that we would see something this bad with the franchise. This is beyond embarrassing, I would call it almost a crime. I wish somehow someway that the season could end today and save us more grief and heartache. We are doomed as long as the 3 Stooges of Moe Reinsdorf, Larry Getz and Curly Grifol are running the franchise.

Reinsdorf is destroying the franchise.

Maybe these clowns should look at themselves in the mirror, especially guys like Vaughn, Benintendi and ILOY.

Grifol is a horrible manager but it doesn’t matter because this is one of the worst baseball teams I have ever seen, a roster made up of AAA players, castoffs and losers, no manager could win with these bums. What’s hilarious is that Getz thought that this team could compete. They are without a doubt going to have a hard time besting the 40-120 record of the 1962 Mets.

Among other things Jimmy thought Nellie was a crybaby when guys slid into second base with the spikes a little on the high side, much different game in those days.

And Eddie Stanky leading off, he once walked 7 times in a row and had a great lifetime OBP of .410.

I was friends with Jimmy back in my tennis days in Wheaton, Jimmy and I belonged to the same club and talked White Sox baseball all the time in person and on the phone. Only thing that bothered me is that he hated my boyhood hero, the Mighty Mite, Nellie Fox but he also despised Tony LaRussa.

I could never root against the Sox but these last 2 years are trying my patience and am so close to giving up and just make the Rays my team, the Rays will never be in my DNA like the Sox have been for me since 1952 but Reinsdorf is destoying the franchise to what end I don’t know. His miserly ways down through the years has given us inept GMs, inept managers, inept players, an inept farm system with horrible scouting and development along with horrible analytics. I just don’t see any light at the end of the tunnel as long as JR is the owner of the franchise.

Harry Caray and Jimmy Piersall broadcast some lousy Sox teams in their years on the Southside and were honest and critical, I wonder what they would be saying if they had to broadcast a team that was as bad as the 2024 White Sox, it would probably be hilarious.
