QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Oct 16, 2005 -> 11:46 PM) I thought I made that clear enough but I guess some folks chose to take the Jesse Jackson route on this one. Nuke, I got your point, and with all due respect, I think you were totally off the deep end in those remarks.

I just got my official "This item is not in stock but will be shipped as soon as it is in stock." email from MLB.com. I'm this close to returning my AL Central champs shirt that I ordered on the day we clinched and still have not received the moment I get it. The f***ing shirt's already out of date. I spent a little extra on shipping on this one, but somehow I get the feeling it'll be Christmas before I receive it, if the AL Central is any guide. It's been almost 3 weeks.

Whoa...there were football games today??!!??

If this series had gone 7 games and they lost in a very close run series, they might have had a point. But seriously...in 5 games, none of our starting pitchers gave up more than 3 runs. The Angels hit .175. Change 1 or 2 calls...and we win it in 6. Change the strike zone a bit in game 1, and we win it in 4.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 16, 2005 -> 10:57 PM) Hopefully Neal is ready to go for the series, that 2/3's of an inning might have been deadly. The only line from Joe Buck I really found amusing this series, from game 4... "And Neal Cotts sits down in the bullpen telling stories of what it's like to pitch in the ALCS"

That's one of the biggest compliments we've gotten all night. Sonofab****! for batgirl for 1 night.

4 more wins. Agreed.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 16, 2005 -> 10:03 PM) Rally Crede + Rally Caps= Unstoppable combo. Not that many of you understand that. Bonnie Tyler must fit somewhere within that equation.

One of my favorite blogs had this to say tonight...and I felt it only fitting it get a thread. Give him some hits! I'll be impressed when Kos, an acknowledged Cubs fan, gives us props.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Oct 16, 2005 -> 11:04 PM) god damn, check out that rotation plus BMAC for next year. 4 potential Cy Young winners and Freddy Garcia.

I just want Garcia pitching on the road in games 3-5. Somewhere in there.

QUOTE(bmags @ Oct 16, 2005 -> 10:39 PM) hahaha, thats classic!!! we get 1 more photo it will look even better.

I have no idea how much of a part he is of this pitching staff. I don't know how important he was in developing those people. Id on't know how much he works with AJ. I don't know how much he works with any of them. But Cooper is the pitching coach for the best pitching staff in baseball. Congrats Coop!

Buehrle, Garland, Contreras, Garcia. This rotation sets up Jose Contreras as the pitcher in any potential game 7, and evens out the rest between the staff.

We have won 12 of our last 13 games. I just like saying that.

HAWK I MISS YOU!

QUOTE(daa84 @ Oct 16, 2005 -> 10:20 PM) joe crede became a member of white sox history today..... but the day he really earned his SOX was the day he got kicked outa that game in oakland when he was at SS....showed so much balls that made me realize this guy was an all team player Personally...my Joe Crede memory remains Cleveland. You know which game. "OHHHH! THAT BALL HIT DEEP TO LEFT FIELD HE LOOKS UP YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BOARD....YES! JOE CREDE! HIS 2ND HOME RUN OF THE GAME, AND THE SOX WIN IT 7-6.... JOEEEEEEEEE CREDE!

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Oct 16, 2005 -> 10:08 PM) wtf, only Half drunk?!? Something is amiss here. Cowboy up already and get working on the other half. If I were completely drunk, I wouldn't remember tonight. There's a shot I'll need to remember jumping up and down and screaming yes on a ground ball to Konerko for the next few decades.

Sign that man.

HERE'S WHAT I WANT TO SEE. I WANT TO SEE THEM DRAG OUT THE TARP I WANT TO SEE THEM DUMP ABOUT 300 BOTTLES OF CHAMPAGNE ON THE TARP AND I WANT TO SEE MARK LEAD THE ENTIRE PITCHING STAFF IN A SLIP AND SLIDE ALONG IT.

QUOTE(aiko @ Oct 16, 2005 -> 09:52 PM) Hope he keeps his word and has to retire in another 2 weeks. HELL...I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT IN GREEN. HERE'S TO MY MANAGER FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS!

TO ALL THE SOX FANS WHO HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR TODAY SINCE BEFORE I WAS BORN...THE DAY HAS COME.

You know what...right now...i really, REALLY don't care at all about this thread. I'm amazed I'm even wasting time posting in it. WE'RE IN THE f***ING WORLD SERIES, I'M HALF DRUNK, WHY THE f*** SHOULD I CARE ABOUT SOME STUPID COLUMNIST WHO MAKES MORE MONEY THAN ME AND OWNS LESS WHITE SOX MERCH THAN ME?
