The Mighty Mite

No homers and 1 RBI, he was hitting the crap out of the ball in Charlotte.

In his short time here Frazier hasn’t shown me much.

Showers are ending but cool and windy the rest of the day.

Win today along with the series and yesterday is a bad memory

Those were wonderful years including an AL pennant in 1959 and growing up with those teams make it so much harder to be a fan of the White Sox since then. I never experienced a losing season until I was 22 years old. Poor ownership has plagued the franchise down through the years, I don’t know how cheap the Old Roman was but the Black Sox scandal hurt the franchise for 30 years. Chuck Comiskey did a great job in the 50s especially with the hiring of Frank Lane, Paul Richards and Al Lopez, the Sox had a great farm system in those years and made some great trades also. Bill Veeck set the Sox back a bit trading away some very good young players in 1960. Arthur Allyn was owner when the Sox put together their 3 best consecutive seasons in history winning 94, 98 and 95 games in the mid 60s. After the 67 near miss with a pennant things went downhill drastically and Arthur sold the club to his brother John who just didn’t have the money to compete even though Dick Allen and company came close to a division title in 1972. Bill Veeck came back again in 1976 but just could not compete especially with free agency. Veeck sold to Reinsdorf and Einhorn in 1981 and when they brought Carlton Fisk aboard and then won the division in 1983 most Sox fans thought that the franchise was on its way to becoming a premier franchise for decades to come, we couldn’t have been more wrong.

I wonder if he might have rushed things a bit.

Without a doubt the Chicago White Sox are a horrible and dysfunctional franchise especially for a team in a Major Market. Reinsdorf is the worst owner in professional sports and runs the White Sox like a small market team. In his 42 years as owner he has continuously alienated White Sox fans, from basically forcing Harry Caray to jump to the Cubs, to hiring Hawk as GM, to threatening a move to Florida to building a monstrosity of a stadium to the 1994 strike to the White Flag trade to the Ventura and TLR hirings and so many more too numerous to mention. We have people in positions with the franchise that aren’t doing the job and probably not even qualified as Reinsdorf never hires the best people, look at the track record with managers and GMs, look who is running the minor league system, Chris Getz for crying out loud. Look at the free agent signings through the years. I’m 77 and guessing we will never see another World Championship with Reinsdorf around and the more I think about it, 2005 was probably a fluke. I feel it in my old bones and no one should be shocked that the last stab in the back for White Sox fans will be that this colossal jerk sells the team to someone from another city.

Exactly , he hasn’t been tearing it up in Charlotte, I homer and 17 RBI.

They win tomorrow and things will be better with another series win but they have to start hitting the ball.

TA screwed up but Kelly is the real culprit in this.

The best player on the field, what a joke.

We need a DP.

Bad base running by Elvis there.

Gotta give him some slack, he’s a catcher and has had a few surgeries. You should have seen Sherm Lollar great catcher with a few Gold Gloves, very good hitter but slower than a turtle.

We have some really slow people.

Wrong.

Sheets swings at ball 4. Our guys hate to walk.

AV!!! Finally got to 40 RBI.

We’ve faced a lot of guys that looked like the best pitcher in baseball last year, the hitting has to come around.

On the 12 game winning streak, they had a 7 game winning streak before that then lost a game then the 12 game streak, 19 out of 20, we could use that this year.

How about a 1-2-3 inning Michael.

Swung at the first pitch.

Feeble with the bats again.

Kopech piling up the pitches.

Wendle looking like Little Looie.
