SoxFan1 Posted September 23, 2005 Author Share Posted September 23, 2005 QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 11:40 PM) i'm a huge pesimist, both in real life and on this board, but I still want this team to win so bad, that's why games like tonight feel like a punch in the stomach More like a swift kick to the balls. If only the Sox, outside of BMAC, had some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted September 23, 2005 Author Share Posted September 23, 2005 QUOTE(Felix @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 11:42 PM) "f*** this team" and "f*** you White Sox" are the same thing, no matter what context they are used in. Uuuum, no. "f*** this team" and "f*** this team" are the same thing, no matter what context they are used in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceffa2000 Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 10:41 PM) That is completely different context. Saying f*** YOU WHITE SOX is like saying "Grow a pair and show me something" not "f*** this team, they blow, and they will suck forever." Pay attention to the tone of the thread and the main idea. Splitting goddamn hairs. It doesn't matter to me. We're all incredibly frustrated right now. I just need an answer. Hello? White Sox? You playing on the 4th of October?

Look, I praise you for your mass homerism and I have nothing against you nor do I want to start anything with you but lets agree to disagree because this s*** aint going nowhere. Like I said, I am still a Sox fan and deep inside, I still am rooting for them to win the division and the World Series but right now, it is hard to get that feeling from deep inside of me when they play like they are 60-91 not 91-60.

We're all incredibly frustrated right now. I just need an answer. Hello? White Sox? You playing on the 4th of October? as pessimistic as I am, I'll answer yes. The Twins offense is not that great, so Sox should at least split with them and the Tigers, that's 95 wins, even if the Tribe sweep the Sox the Red Sox aren't playing so hot now either, so I think Sox will at least get the WC... I tell you what though, I do not want to see El Duque again this year, McCarthy pitched a tremendous game tonight, simply unbelievable. Hats off to him, The Count and JG his last 2 starts..

Felix Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 To be honest, there is no way we will miss the playoffs. The Red Sox and Yankees play each other in the final series of the year, and since once of them has to win that series, that team will be the one which wins the division. And since the other team has to lose that series (go 1-2 in it), they will likely fall back farther from the Sox/Indians. So basically, since the AL Central teams already have the lead in the WC, they aren't going to lose the lead... unless of course, two teams can win the same game.. but I dont think thats possible.

A month ago I might have agreed with you. s***, 2 weeks ago maybe too. But right now, absolutely nothing is a given with this team. It's nice to make scenarios but I hope to God those aren't in our players heads. Very, very simple: Win. And we go.

No such thing as moral victories now. If you lose a game the rest of the way, it's a bad loss. If we keep losing games that we have the lead in heading into the 7th inning, they won't make the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
