And it was Brooks who said it, so I'm inclined to believe him

guys, they just said on Silvy and Carmen that the parade is tomorrow.

interesting that the Red Sox are running #1 in the results The White Sox are fifth in the aggregate poll, behind last year's red sox, the 98 and 99 yankees teams and the 86 mets

they said 3pm at midway on the radio just now

Yeah I had 99 Yankees, 90 Reds and then the Sox. I probably have the 98 Yanks fourth. Worst is probably the 91 Twins

not so much interested in filling out on their website as getting your takes. http://sports.espn.go.com/chat/sportsnatio...stranker?id=364 I think the White Sox are number 2 or 3 on this list.

Charles Comiskey also died on an October 26th.

I can't believe it guys. This is just so amazing. best night of my life, as a sports fan.

this was just bizarre, but really cool all memorable teams have a slogan or a nickname the Don't Stop Believin' Sox has a great ring to it

not yet, but on the train today I was close about three different times.

1) out to dinner with the pops 2) watching the game at the bar 3) if they win, proceed directly to bridgeport and comiskey park for a couple of hours of yelling and screaming and carrying on 4) afterwards proceed to midway

I wonder if they'd come back tonight or just ship it the next day

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 09:41 AM) My girlfriend isn't into sports at all, and she'd have to be classified as a Red Sox fan if anything, but she stayed up for all of the game last night just to hope that they'd win for me. She's a keeper. same with my wife (bosox fan) but she stayed up too.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 12:41 PM) Interesting tidbit: there is not one piece of true percussion in that song. What you hear is just random stomping and clapping made by the members of the group--I believe in a warehouse or something like that. technically speaking, the piano is a percussion instrument.

QUOTE(Johnny @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 12:32 PM) if that happend i wouldnt be surprised since they were at all the the world series games so far. but that would be just awsome. especially as a surprise visit without even knowing. I would be extraordinarily suprised, because Steve Perry hasn't performed with Journey in well over ten years and by all indications, they do not want him back.

the beer tasted so f***ing good at the game on saturday. I never thought a 5.50 MGD would taste so good.

I can't believe he was at the game last night. That was so awesome

For the record, I'd say that the White Sox are probably in the top 20-30 teams all time

Look, I know you are jumping down my throat for number 3, but consider this: find me a WS winning team that 1) never faced the staff ace in the DS 2) never faced the staff ace in the CS 3) had the game 1 starter leave in the third inning because of injury those circumstances were extremely favorable for the Sox, and made all those teams SIGNIFICANTLY weaker. That's all I'm saying. Not trying to be a buzzkill, but things could've been much tougher for the Sox this playoffs. EDIT: and if any of those squeaker games does NOT go the Sox' way (and there were what, four of them this postseason????) we're never talking about this team as one of the best ever. It's not like they clubbed everyone 15-0 every night....

QUOTE(Felix @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 11:10 AM) Yet you said they couldnt set their rotation in your previous post. They could. They just have a bad rotation. Schilling?

I mean, I know you all want to kick my ass and all, but I just answered the question honestly.

The question was....best ever? And for the reasons I listed...the answer is clearly no IMHO. Has the team played one of the best postseasons ever? Yes. Is this the best White Sox team ever? Yes. Am I having the time of my life? Yes. I just think there are more dominant teams than us in recent history and I don't think our set of opponents were all that great. The Red Sox had NO STARTING PITCHING. Clement was just awful. Wells is over the hill. A younger Wells might have picked Graff up. After game 1, I never thought we really had to worry about that series. Going into the Angels series, I was licking my chops at a Colon-less Angels. I felt as though we would win in four or five easily. Did anyone really think Paul freaking Byrd was going to beat us twice? Was anyone really that intimidated by the remnants of that staff? Not me. The Astros? Great story, coming back from 15 under to win the wild card. Strong team? Other than their front three starters and their closer, not so much IMHO. Their hitting is anemic and as soon as Clemens went down in game 1 I thought we had a real good chance of winnign this thing in 5. Were they hard fought victories? Sure. Did we make a s***load of mistakes in game 2? Yeah. This White Sox team is obviously very good. Great even. World Class. Among the best ever? Well, not in my book. I think that's just really hard to say. There are so many great world series winning teams. They are world champions, and that puts them in an elite category of 105 out of probably 2000 or so teams that have ever been fielded. They are certainly better than many World Series winning teams. They have more grit and scrappiness than most winners, that's for sure. Yes, 4 complete games in a row is dominating. They pitched extremely well in the ALCS. Way better than I expected. Yes, 10-1 is one of the best postseason records ever. But the very best ever? I dunno, I don't think so.

ITS A WHITE SOX WINNER ON A TIMO SLAM IN THE NINTH!
