The Mighty Mite

I think the Sox were looking for more power, Chet never hit 20 homers in a season with the Sox and Kemp was coming off 2 big seasons with the Tigers. There also was a problem with Chet having a verbal agreement with the Sox making him the highest paid Sox player but then the Sox signed Carlton Fisk to big bucks and then Chet wanted more but the Sox balked and then Lemon traded after the 1981 season.

Kemp stayed one year and signed IIRC with the Yankees.

How many have been on the team all year, off the top of my head, Vaughn, Sheets, Lopez, Benintendi, Robert, Lee, Crochet, Flexen, I know the bullpen has gone through a complete change since opening day so no one there. I probably missed someone but does it matter. So really the eight I mentioned are the poor guys that have to live with the infamy of the worst team in MLB history in the modern age but they aren’t poor so when you come down to it, it’s the die hard fans that have to live with this abomination of a season.

At this point, does it really matter. I know they changed the rules but can they still expand the rosters on Sept.1st which is tomorrow.

No doubt that the Sox won’t come close to the 1962 Mets, these bums might not win another game, there should be no way in hell that Getz should keep his job after this abomination of a season, JR needs to admit his mistakes and apologize to the fans which I know is a stretch but if the man has just a small iota of a conscience he would do it and regardless of his tax situation the greedy bastard needs to sell the club.

Hooray.

Very sad story about a great Sox center fielder. https://au.sports.yahoo.com/tigers-legend-chet-lemon-t-195054680.html

Please, no more Sosa, bring up Montgomery and play him every day at SS with Baldwin out there everyday at 2B.

He did, hopefully a sign of good things to come.

Definitely, no takers.

Exactly, 3 teams from the Central will be in the Playoffs because they get to play more games against the White Sox, hopefully someone will read the riot act to Reinsdork.

Why not, the replacements couldn’t be any worse.

I’m 79 and I probably have a better arm than Benintendi.

We can say that about so many of them.

Same swings over and over again regardless of the count, besides being one of the worst teams of all time, they are also the dumbest. Lopez is a joke at lead off, never tries to put the ball in play, home run swings all the time and he’s not a homer hitter, hasn’t come close all year. Has anyone on this team ever tried choking up, what a novel idea that would be. Somehow Getz has to be held accountable, he put together this horrendous team and hopefully is fired at the end of the year.

Here we go again, maybe one of these days one of these moves will actually work. I love that Getz is spending a lot of JRs retirement pension on flights between Charlotte and Chicago.

Baldwin should be getting as many ABS as possible, instead we get Sosa who we know is a dead ass player.

DFA his sorry ass.

Sosa is about as exciting as Wonder Bread.

Ranger announcers saying that a team like the Sox could turn things around fast like the horrible 2003 Tigers who made to the WS in 2006, what they didn’t mention is the Tigers weren’t owned by Jerry Reinsdork, they did mention that teams to get better fast need to spend money.

Good point.

I was thinking more in the line of individual teams, they play basically 1 game a week, maybe 2 if they are the Thursday game.

I still think it is our Pastime because it’s played almost everyday for at least 6 months and with spring training and the post season it’s 8+ months long. Football is probably now more popular but a game that is only played once a week is not a pastime.

Please say it ain’t so.

Wintrust Field at Armour Park would have worked.
