The last playoff series we won was waaaaaaaaay back in 1917, which is the last time the White Sox won a championship.

The announcers were refering to the last home game we have won before yesturday's white wash, that of course being in '59 (which was an 11-0 win).

Oh, thank you for the White Sox history. I knew it was quite a while.

Lol I seriously think Joey slgus masturbates when he watches sports

**Joey Slugs** · 10-06-2005, 04:36 PM

sorry to ruin your wet dream Ferret. I'm just a lifelong, devoted White Sox fan. Shit... i grew up 2 blocks from old Comiskey Park. It's in my blood.

That being said, you can only do it so many times till it catches you.

That and this team (red sox) is not where near is as good as 2004, flip side is this White Sox team better then 2003 Oakland?

I dunno, Wake on Friday, Schilling on Sunday, both at home, Sox are strong at home (except against Toronto!) Could easily see this going back to Chicago for game 5. Of course, we saw what Contreras did to the sox in game #1.

That and as of right now, the sox don't have a game #5 pitcher. They already announced Clemment to the pen.

They could save Arroyo, but using Papelbon tonight, he might need him over the weekend. The most likely option is Wells on 3days rest.

There's also a chance that Saturday may get rained out. They're saying this would give Wells an extra day of rest? Wouldn't they just play Sunday/Monday rather then Sat/Mon?

Dunno, Tip my hat to the White Sox though, the "small ball" that people make fun of them for is what kept runners in scoring position and w/o that the error wouldn't have mean't anything.

I'm glad you commented on "you can only do it so many times" because that's all we are going to hear during the broadcast tomorrow. How the BoSox have made miracle comebacks before and this is no different blah blah blah.

Their backs are up against the monster and I think you are forgeting one major thing about the game tomorrow....

they have to face one of the best road pitchers in baseball, as well as one of the best day game pitchers, in Freddy Garcia.

The only reason I make fun of them is because they call it smart ball which is gay and because people think they won the division because Tad Iguchi can bunt and Scott Podsednik can steal alot of bases. The difference between this team and the past few years is they have great pitching now. Their offense was much better last year, they made the playoffs this year because of thier rotation.

Yeah and what you're forgetting about tomorrow is, Wake has had a great season, does great at home, got shelled his last outing and to top it off, the Sox hit MUCH better at home.

I originally said red sox in 4, now I'm thinking white sox in 5. A lot depends on who we end up pitching if we get to a game #5... if we get that rain day, it will probably be Wells, but he's already says he can't physically pitch Sunday. (why is there not a travel day?).

That's the name of the game. Pitching/Defense.

It's what won the Yanks all them WS and what finally put the Red Sox over last year.

**Joey Slugs** · 10-07-2005, 02:03 AM

today is the day...

and Garcia can deliver the greatest b-day gift ever...

a 3 game sweep and a trip to the ALCS.

**VonErich Lives** · 10-07-2005, 07:51 PM

Wow, Tony G had a nice at bat, but tip my cap to El Duqe... Balls of fucking steel on that guy.

next inning, Renteria, Ortiz & Rameriez.

that's what you wan't, plus if they get a few guys on base, you'll have Ortiz & Manny again in the 9th.

**Loose Cannon** · 10-07-2005, 07:51 PM

dammit, how can't you guys score with the bases loaded and no outs. what sox team is this?

I know, how come El Duqe never did that against the Red Sox when he was with the Yankees

:P

**Loose Cannon** · 10-07-2005, 07:54 PM

neither did Contreas, I think.

**Loose Cannon** · 10-07-2005, 08:30 PM

holy shit, the White Sox just pulled a play right out of John McGraw's playbook

**VonErich Lives** · 10-07-2005, 08:32 PM

nice call...

well, only hope is next inning you have Graffy, Damon and Renteria.

So, you have your #1 & #2, and if someone gets on base, Ortiz gets up...

anything is still possible... but surely doesn't look good.

White Sox have played great and El Duqe was unreal!

**VonErich Lives** · 10-07-2005, 08:38 PM

we laugh at "small ball"

So, bases loaded, no outs... wonder how a bunt twords first would have done...

come'on johnny... get on base...

**VonErich Lives** · 10-07-2005, 08:39 PM

and the season comes down to Renteria.

**Loose Cannon** · 10-07-2005, 08:39 PM

lol Renteria again. and he's #3 again.

**VonErich Lives** · 10-07-2005, 08:40 PM

and it's over.

I tip my hat (if I was wearing one) to the White Sox.

Was saying during the season they had good pitching, questioned it the last month when they almost missed it.

oh well... maybe this will make it easier for me to get season tix next year

**Loose Cannon** · 10-07-2005, 08:45 PM

no more Yanks/Sox till 2006

I needed to see the riot squad come out again.

**YOUR Hero** · 10-07-2005, 09:02 PM

Who's your daddy, VEL?

**VonErich Lives** · 10-07-2005, 09:04 PM

yeah, was funny them being out Sunday... I was like WTF, we're going to riot over a wilcard? Honestly, I was kinda pissed they celebrated the way they did, especially where technically they didn't win their way in, Cleveland had already lost before the sox game ended.

Hey, is Konerko a free agent? he'd look good in a Sox uniform

So, the sox need probably 2 SP's, a 1B and possible a CF and 3B.

I think if they don't resign Muellar, we'll see Youkilis at 3B.

Also wouldn't be shocked to see Foulke try being a SP instead of a Closer.

oh well... good luck y'all (well, except the Yankees) :P

I'd say the Blue Jays but they're not in the playoffs... and won't be anytime soon.

I give the White Sox all the credit, no excuses. Yeah, the sox pen had issues, but they didn't cost them it, they simply didn't hit, didn't move runners, men LOB...

**YOUR Hero** · 10-07-2005, 09:07 PM

**Loose Cannon** · 10-07-2005, 09:16 PM

err, not liking this. It's all rainy and shit. don't have a good feeling at all.

**Loose Cannon** · 10-07-2005, 09:16 PM

yep

**YOUR Hero** · 10-07-2005, 09:20 PM

WOOO

Garrett Anderson.

I like the Yankees more than the Red Sox (most of the time) but I like the Angels more than the Yankees, and I really like Garrett Anderson

5-0

Today, so far, has been great.

**Dragon** · 10-07-2005, 11:15 PM

6-5 Yankees

Today, so far, has been great.

Red Sox eliminated and Yankees winning so far. Cano with another big hit.

**Hardkore Kidd J** · 10-07-2005, 11:53 PM

That was so unlike Big Unit today. At least the Yankees have 2 men on with Matsui at the plate. I am so happy I am not on the Boston Police Department tonight.

**Loose Cannon** · 10-08-2005, 12:40 AM

lol at Yankees pitching staff.

when one falls, they all fall. it's a joke.

**BCWWF** · 10-08-2005, 12:45 AM

White Sox and Yankees!

**The Outlaw** · 10-08-2005, 01:03 AM

**Hardkore Kidd J** · 10-08-2005, 07:29 AM

The only hope Yankees have now is win today and tomorrow's game. I don't remember the last time they got thrown out of the ALDS.

2002 vs. The Angels

**Joey Slugs** · 10-08-2005, 03:05 PM

The Red Sox season came down to one inning. Bases loaded. No outs.

I can't believe that I might actually have to root for the Yankees to make it past Anahiem.

Magic Number: 8
