QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 22, 2016 -> 09:19 PM) I'd have never guessed we wouldn't make the playoffs once since our WS title. It's truly hard to believe. That 06 team was special, too. After 07, I knew we were pretty much hosed. 08 was nice, but we won a silly coin flip in what probably should have been a road game. Then nothing. I'm happy for the Cubs, but it makes me so much angrier at the White Sox.

Beat me to it. Cubs in 6. When your rivals compete, you lose.

QUOTE (JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Oct 22, 2016 -> 09:17 PM) This will be the first time all postseason that the other teams' ace has matched up with Lester starts. Those games aren't certain wins when he's opposing a pitcher like Kluber. That still puts the Cubs at an advantage, though. The rest of the Cubs staff is much better.

QUOTE (Footlongcomiskeydog @ Oct 22, 2016 -> 09:09 PM) This Cubs team has no weaknesses. They are a wrecking ball and have been all year. I hope I'm wrong, but I will be very surprised if the series even makes it back to Cleveland for a game 6. This isn't basketball. Anything can happen. I'll say Cubs in 6, but I'm not convinced this is a one sided affair.

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 22, 2016 -> 09:02 PM) I'm leaving before the game is over. The talk in the room is disgusting. You could just drink more?

Maybe I'll jinx it.

QUOTE (SpankyEaton @ Oct 22, 2016 -> 08:39 PM) Hope they get their World Series over with and teams start to figure them out. Otherwise it'll be a rough decade as Sox fans. We will have no response for their insults. The only team that can stop this decade for being rough for us is the White Sox.

QUOTE (JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Oct 22, 2016 -> 08:37 PM) Not many have but I bet he's seen a White Sox World Series! Seriously, where have the last ten years gone?

This is fairly remarkable, as my father hasn't even seen a Cubs pennant in his life time. The game isn't over, but still...

30 pitches in the in first.

Is anyone counting the 2003 references?

Really nice crowd tonight considering the circumstances.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Oct 22, 2016 -> 05:50 PM) Which makes it ironic that the NL has won more World Series over that stretch since the disparity is not really close. I don't know if it's ironic or more a product of more difficult schedule in the regular and post season leading up to the World Series. If FiveThirtyEight is correct (which they usually are), the AL team that reaches the World Series has had a much more difficult path and likely has more wear and tear on its players. I'm totally speculating. I have no idea if statistics bear out my hypothesis.

Three really good things in this video. 1) As said multiple times, ARod is a potentially great broadcaster 2) It's a batting lesson from Pete Rose 3) Frank does a good job reiterating Rose's point, because Pete rambles a lot. Dynamite lineup, honestly.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Oct 21, 2016 -> 02:04 PM) The only way the White Sox will get a new stadium is if it's built in Portland, Montreal, North Carolina, or (God forbid) Indiana. And if that northside team (whose name I'll never say on here) goes on a Yankees-like run, I wouldn't doubt if our White Sox were forced to leave Chicago. Yeah. No. we aren't getting a new stadium. Also, the Sox won't be moving any time soon.

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 21, 2016 -> 11:55 AM) A 2003 style meltdown could never happen again.... take heed

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 11:00 PM) Dodgers and Giants have looked terrible I can't blame you for blocking out how bad this season was, but no one is that dense.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 10:44 PM) Watching these NL games, I really wonder if the White Sox would win 90+. Dodgers are choking. Complete mental breakdown Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Wait...you're serious?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 07:44 PM) Matt Barkley I think. I think he means if Barkley goes down.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 08:32 PM) Wonder who the emergency quarterback is?

I didn't like the deal when they signed it, but Lester = money well spent.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Oct 19, 2016 -> 06:24 PM) My uncle has one. They are ridiculous. I wasn't driving, but the acceleration was intoxicating. I can't even imagine what it would be like to open that thing up on a highway.

Got to ride in a colleague's Challenger SRT Hellcat. 707 HP of insanity.

10 years in the postseason is NOT better than 1 WS. The best you can do is make the playoffs every year and play your best in the postseason. It's a lot of luck, so it's not out of the realm of possibilities the Cubs still don't win the World Series under Theo.
