flavum Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) Been enjoying watching these games. The game was so much better 15 years ago. Today's game is Bobby Jenks debut. Frank homers. JD plays 1st base. Podsednik beats out Jeter in an all star vote. Edited April 25, 2020 by flavum 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I’ve been loving it. Sometimes I forget how important Carl Everett was on that team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Some of the best games from 2005 they haven’t been able to show also due to them being on other channels. AJP vs Dodgers, for example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Watched part of the game today...Carl Everett in RF showing why he was a DH....my goodness he was scary bad out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted April 26, 2020 Author Share Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) Today’s game is a Sweaty Freddy win against the Indians. They would need those. Also that night in baseball, Rafael Palmeiro got his 3000th hit, and would seemingly be on his way to Cooperstown. Weeks later, MLB would announce his steroid suspension and his career was over.

flavum Posted April 28, 2020 Author Share Posted April 28, 2020 Today’s game was finishing off a four game sweep of the Indians after the break. It didn’t seem huge at the time, but then the Indians got hot...real hot. The Sox came home, lost 2 of 3 to the Tigers, and Frank Thomas never played for the Sox again.

Heads22 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 In 75 career postseason plate appearances, Carl Everett never had an extra base hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 No game today. Thursday they show 8/1/05. Buehrle gets ejected in the 6th, which breaks his streak of at least 6 innings. This would have been his 50th straight start going 6+. He went 6+ the next 10 starts (averaged 7). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some other stuff going on in this game in Baltimore...Palmeiro got suspended...he would come back after serving his whopping 10-day suspension, but played his last game at the end of August...Sox traded for Geoff Blum the day before.

Hawk went off on West when Buehrle threw the glove down in Cleveland. Ah, I thought was the one where West called him for the balk, and then ejected him for essentially being upset about getting called for the balk.

flavum Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 A quick game today 8/6/05, Buehrle vs 42-yr-old Jamie Moyer. Moyer finished his career in 2012. Buehrle turns 42 next March. Sunday and Monday are vs the Yankees. Monday’s game is the 4 hr inning off Randy Johnson. This was when the lead on the Indians was slipping away.

flavum Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share Posted May 15, 2020 One week left of regular season games before they show the 12 postseason games. The 9/20 Crede walkoff vs the Indians will be shown Saturday night. Probably the biggest win of the season. If they lost and the next two days went the same way, the Sox would have been in second place with 10 games left. Uribe made a play in the 8th inning that could have been a season saver. AJ steps on Aaron Boone scoring from 3rd. It was a classic game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Quote 35. 2005: White Sox over Astros in four Series leverage: 56th Game leverage: 1st By our series leverage index -- which measures how tight the World Series was -- this ranks just 56th all time. But the games themselves were outrageously good. By our game leverage index, this was the tightest collection of World Series games ever. Every game was either tied or within one run in the eighth inning or later. Every White Sox starter went at least seven innings. Compare that to the seven-game series between the Cubs and Cleveland in 2016, in which no starting pitcher went seven. The White Sox's 11-1 postseason record ended a World Series drought that was two years longer than the Red Sox's had been. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/29104085/ranking-every-world-series-mlb-history Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What surprised me about that game was when Jenks came in and he only had 4 saves at the time....I remembered that Hermanson was the closer for most of the year but I did not remember that Jenks only had 6 saves in the regular season in 2005...then Hermanson came in to pitch the 10th inning and I had totally forgotten that he had come back from injury to pitch at all late in 2005...but what I do remember not fondly is the dread that the Indians were gonna catch us in the standings ...Wake me up when September ends is what I remember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was after 9:00 and I was sitting in my office stressed out waiting, literally half this site had the Rally Crede as their avatar already, and bang. Even though we lost the next game, we had our swagger back. We went to Minny, lost game 1, then McCarthy gave us a great performance, and that was Cleveland’s last chance. I think that may have started the 8 game win streak to end the year. The Rally Crede and McCarthy, they pulled us out of it. Many of us had the Rally Crede as our avatars the rest of that offseason. And yes, I have this. credehr.wav 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
