The Grinder

They must have had 2 different cushions, mine had the Sox batter holding a bat logo. So 75 yr anniversary would have been 1985, wasnt Comiskey built in 1910?? But thanks for the pics!! BTW I still have mine too:)

Not trying to get off point and I didnt want to start another Tony thread but my fav TLR moment was in maybe 1985 when it was Kmart stadium seat cushion day where prob 10K seat cushions were being given out, There was a questionable call on the field and Tony came out to argue. Then out of the blue someone threw ONE measly seat cushion out on the diamond. Then a few seconds later the entire infield was flooded with the seat cushions, thousands of them. Tony looked up in the stands as if to say WTF?? Anyone attend that game as well?

Weren't the Bears supposed to be a dynasty too after their 1985 Super Bowl win? Shows you how hard it is to achieve that status

IIRC wasnt the Iowa Oaks the Sox AAA team in the 70's? ANd now the cubs have their AAA team there. Who is the Indianapolis team affliated with? Yes a shame as where I live, the Beloit A team is 40 min drive just built a new park, on city funds I assume and the other way is Clinton IA and they have a great following in A league as well

I voted the first option. But that will only happen when the Good Lord comes calling....or is it the Grim Reaper??

Thanx for the info, hell we cant get the brass to fire someone after their record is way under .500 let alone 0-0

Is there a precedent in firing a manager before he even manages one game with current team?

As a franchise w image issues, this is just another set back. The father/son duo comes to mind back in 2002 IIRC when they attacked KC coach during game(was it Ligue?). we just dont need this. I was trying to be open minded about Tony but now realize he needs to go

Like I told somone, helluva choice, to re-elect the crazy man we have now or elect the guy w dementia. Politics in America I doubt the media will let Trump get re-elected. So back to the established life long politician for better or worse

Home fitness no doubt is huge these days, as a gym owner cant say I'm crazy about it but OTOH this pandemic and the home gym will probably correct the commercial health club market as many gyms will close. My gym has been hit hard not by the virus but by cancellations, freezes and very little new members or renewals. My EFT program has been decimated as well but after 32 yrs I'll weather the storm But glad to see many of you doing something to stay active, major Kudos!

EE gone, jeez wonder how long the powers that be had to contemplate that one???

Was really hoping they would take their sweet time and interview multiple candidates, I was thinking at least month before they named one Well on the bright side, it'll take him 2 minutes to walk to the mound at his age, giving relief pitcher more warm up The racist thing? That work gets bandied around so much its lost its value, it just means you made someone mad Welcome back Tony, whats next? Bring Luzinski back....

I was in the company of 2 cub fans, all rooting for the sox, they were hooting and hollering more than me, I was in shock more than anything Didnt ger a lot of sleep that night but didnt matter, I was one happy camper

Taunting for the most case is harmless albeit silly. I used to taunt my cub fans until they got good, now I cant really say much as they have strung together more consectutive playoff appearances than we can ever dream of

Tony is getting up there so pass, we dont need to recycle on this team! Nothing wrong w 76, considering the two knuckleheads we have running for the Oval Office Yes the 83 team was magical, one of my fav teams other than the 05 one

C'mon Jerry, hire a known winner and let go of some of that moldy money of yrs! DOnt give us another manager on the cheap! Sandy Almoar Jr has always been a fav of mine, not saying thats the right fit here

I thought RR was brought in under similiar circumstances as he was for our north neighbors, once we got good, he was gone. Not true?

I'm not convinced Kopech will pan out, and we need to put the likes of Rodon and Lopez in the scrap heap of the countless prospects the Sox have had thru the years, seems like most never amount to much

Aren't the odds of us winning at some point in our favor right? I mean how many in a row can we lose??

If memory serves me in 2005 we went into a bit of a funk about this time when Cleveland was on our tail and was only 1.5 games behind and we pulled out the studs we were back then

Thanks for the correction, was in in 1986 we acquired Steve Carlton? So we had some great pitchers in the twilight of their career

Without looking, didnt we have both Seaver and Koosman on same roster, like a Met cast offs thing? What a great guy and pitcher i recall him winning his 300th game as a Sox. RIP Tom

We fleeced the northsiders no doubt. Now we have a better record then the blue flu boys ?

Lets face it, Fullmer is not very good at the game of baseball. Maybe he can go on to a career in whatever his chosen major in college was

IIRC dont we hold a very slight lead in this series? Like up by 3 games?
