Be Good Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I can't believe we completely dominated Vladdy like that, that was a big key. This staff is ridiculous.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toasty Posted October 17, 2005 Author Share Posted October 17, 2005 i concur.... but do wonder if vladdy is hurting still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KansasSoxFan Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Speaking of Vladdy, I dunno if you guys have seen this, but Tom Verducci had this article on him recently: "Where's your Vladdy?" (After game 4) http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylt=AnXF...cnnsi&type=lgns He also had a good one about Sox ptiching: "Complete command" (After game 3) http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=cnns...cnnsi&type=lgns Of the 94 batters they faced, the Chicago starting pitchers: • went to a 2-0 count on only seven batters. • went to any three-ball count only 10 times. • threw a first-pitch strike 64 percent of the time. • allowed only three hits to the 24 hitters who came up with a runner on base.

Balta1701 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 THE ANGELS HIT EXACTLY .175 AGAINST US THIS SERIES. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS THE BEST PITCHING STAFF IN BASEBALL HISTORY OR IN SOX HISTORY. BUT IT'S THE BEST PITCHING STAFF I HAVE EVER WATCHED. BY A LONG SHOT.

greg775 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 It's like this was the old days, the Baltimore staff of the 60s or 70s or whenever the heck those four starters of theirs (Palmer, McNally, etc.) were dominant. I was amazing at how incredible Jose was tonight in the 8th and 9th. Nasty stuff. He probably coulda pitched 12 innings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitewashed in '05 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Like PK said, this really goes out to the four aces we had going for us. This was definitley a team effort with our pitching, PK, CREDE and all the rest who made it happen. GREAT job by the White Sox, 4 more to go baby and I believe they can do it!!!

greg775 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 If we win the World Series, we need to commemorate this with Chicago's own Mt. Rushmore. Build it downtown in one of the plazas. Jose, Freddie, Jon and Mark B. For Chicago relievers — make that one reliever, lefty Neal Cotts — threw a measly two-thirds of an inning in the series.

illinilaw08 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Hermy had the best quote during the celebration, "We only get dressed for the champagne baths." I thought that was hilarious. What an amazing display by the starting pitching! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 HERE'S WHAT I WANT TO SEE. I WANT TO SEE THEM DRAG OUT THE TARP I WANT TO SEE THEM DUMP ABOUT 300 BOTTLES OF CHAMPAGNE ON THE TARP AND I WANT TO SEE MARK LEAD THE ENTIRE PITCHING STAFF IN A SLIP AND SLIDE ALONG IT.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 That was the most devestating display of dominant pitching I've ever seen. This staff will go down as one of the best ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowand44 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Hopefully Neal is ready to go for the series, that 2/3's of an inning might have been deadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middle Buffalo Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Man, I wish that search function was enabled. You could all look up my previous posts and see that I predicted this before the season - including the four straight complete games to clinch the pennant.

DonkeyKongerko Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 They deserve more than my hat. I guess I can give them the shirt off my back too. Maybe some pants if they're interested. So how many pitchers will be on the World Series roster? 5 or 6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only line from Joe Buck I really found amusing this series, from game 4...

The Bones Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I saw something saying that it was the first time since sometime in the 1920s or something that 4 straight complete games have been pitched in the postseason. Wow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
