The Mighty Mite

Burger was robbed.

Any talk of Moncada at second and Burger at third has to stop, I’ve never been a Yoan fan but he’s an excellent third sacker. I would rotate Burger, Sheets and Vaughn at first base and DH while living with Eloy in RF.

Hey Jason, Nellie Fox went over 700 games without a day off and then there was Ripken and Gehrig.

So how’s the all righty lineup against a lefty pitcher working out.

What’s there to like, the whole franchise is unlikeable from the jerk owner to the incompetent general manager to a bunch of stiffs on the field and everybody else in between.

Some ace of the staff.

Between Gio on Thursday and Cease today I’ve seen enough walks to last the season.

This ump has missed a lot of calls on both sides.

Exactly these rest days are driving me nuts. Does the manager realize this team is 10 games under .500 and to get back to .500 and contend for the division you have to put the A-team out there unless they are injured or just worn out. Right now I don’t think anyone on the team is worn out, win now and worry about rest later in the season.

A sobering thought, since after the 2021 All Star game the Sox are basically a .500 club except they threw that 10 game losing streak into the equation. So for this team getting back to .500 and beyond just might be something that you don’t want to call your bookie about unless he gives you overwhelming odds and you have some mad money to blow. Am I giving up? Not yet, I’ve been following baseball for 7 decades and I’ve seen a lot of crazy things so anything can happen especially with 4 months to go.

Game over, win tomorrow.

Our illustrious lead off hitter has 8 walks for the year, that’s pathetic.

That’s why you put your best team out there every game unless a guy is really hurt. These rest days and Sunday lineups have to cease. The Rays get away with it because every position player is a major leaguer, not AAAA guys.

Me too.

Kelly doesn’t have it today, get him out of there.

Lucky that wasn't gone.

That lead didn’t last too long.

Sheets! Some of you hate him but he’s OK in my book.

There seems to be a sense of urgency with these guys.

Bob Elson might have been more exciting.

It’s early, maybe things will improve.

2-0, I was thinking worse, like 5-0.

Need at least a K, a DP would be better.

The 1973 mediocre Mets won 82 games, won the Division, won the playoff series and almost won the WS losing to the A’s in 7 games, right now I’d take that.

I miss the Go Go Sox years so much, from 1951 through 1967 the Sox were 380 games over .500. The W-L record was 1499-1119 for a .573 winning percentage. I did the homework awhile back and the only teams IIRC that won more games in those years were the Yankees and Dodgers.
