Big Hurtin Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 One of the hosts mentioned that the last 3 times the White Sox were eliminated in the playoffs, John Olerud was on the other team. He now plays for the Red Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFanForever Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Last 3 times? I count two...93 and 2000. Pretty sure Johnny would be fairly old if he beat us back in 83. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I checked baseball-reference, and it was the last 2. They were probably getting ahead of themselves and counting THIS year as well. :finger Edited October 4, 2005 by Big Hurtin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I don't belive that Olerud will be the main focus of the WSox in this series. I'm thinking that the LF and DH will be more of a concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Honda Civic Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Relax, it's the Rickey Henderson factor, not the John Olerud factor.... Rickey says "John Olerud ain't gonna beat the White Sox. No, if you wanna beat the White Sox you need Rickey. But Rickey ain't playing, so the White Sox be winning" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
