southsider2k5 Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 QUOTE(YASNY @ May 5, 2005 -> 08:17 AM) Exactly. The team was proven based on 1993. The Sox were very good in '94. The expectations were as high as they had been since, sigh, 1984. I was thinking the samething, but it felt like a punch in the stomach to say it Also the 1994 team didn't have the strike and white flag team to blame for attendance (before the strike obviously) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitetrain8601 Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 QUOTE(CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ May 5, 2005 -> 02:04 AM) Oh i can feel the love so much I completely avoid posting on this topic. Against my better judgement I will say that both sides have valid arguments. There are so many variables as to why attendance is the way it is. My forte is not racking my brain to list them. One side says " you're b****ing about attendance but I can b**** all I want about the weather and who the Sox are playing ". I could have swore the reason we go to home games is to see the home team win. Right now the Sox are an attraction in and of themselves. If that isn't reason enough to go to a game I don't know what is. Another good point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleepyWhiteSox Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Gotta luv espn... THE AL CENTRAL IS MORE COMPETITIVE: If the Red Sox and Yankees seemed like mortal locks for October, the Minnesota Twins – three division titles in succession – weren't far behind. But that was before the Chicago White Sox raced out to the best record in the big leagues and the Tigers were hovering around .500. There remains ample doubt about Chicago's decision to win with pitching, defense and speed. "I want to see El Duque and Contreras in July and August,'' said a skeptical AL personnel man. Says another: "I think you still have to mash to win in the American League.'' But there's no denying the White Sox' hot start has reshaped the race. Is it possible that, for the first time since the re-configured playoff format, the wild-card entrant will come from the Central? Don't discount the unbalanced schedule as a factor. While the Blue Jays and Orioles have taken big steps forward, making the Red Sox and Yankees work harder for nearly one-quarter (38) of their games, the AL Central front-runners can still beat up on the Kansas City Royals, easily the worst team in the league.

Mplssoxfan Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 5, 2005 -> 08:15 AM) Ask any older Sox fan about 1994 and they will tell you that it was going to be the year they made it to the World Series. They were in first place, and were right there for the best record in baseball all year long. They also were coming off of a division championship in 1993, which we are not in 2004. There are plenty of reasons that 1994 attendance was so big. Of course, if you ask anyone but a White Sox fan about 1994, you'll hear about Cleveland and Montreal. I've done that more than a few times, and all I ever hear is how Cleveland was goint to win the Central. When I point out that at the time of the strike the Sox were 3 1/2 games up, I get one of two responses: "No, they weren't," or "They would have gone in the tank." I hate ignorant people.
