sec159row2 Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 In my opinion, I'm watching the best baseball team I have ever seen... these white sox are better than any east coast team of the 90's... no superstars just a team.. the white sox reserves swept the cleveland indians to end the season... and a reserve did pretty well last night...

Best White Sox team ever? Most definitely. But lets not get crazy now. This team isn't even close to being the best ever. All that matters is that we're the best in 2005.

rangercal Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 With a win tonight that would give us an 11-1 mark in the playoffs. When was the last team a team dominated October like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangercal Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 well... that means with a win 2nite we would be tied with the 99 yanks for best winning pct in a playoff run (with at least 11 wins) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Hibbard Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 The White Sox' 10-1 record thus far is a bit overinflated IMO 1) all of the teams they faced could not set their rotation 2) Colon was out for the CS, Rocket only lasted three innings, we didn't even face Schilling 3) All of the teams, overall, were among the weakest set of opponents an eventual recent WS winner would face in my opinion. None of these teams are the 2001 or 2003 Yankees, who would've taken us deep and probably beat this team in the CS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough tough squad, indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoomSlowik Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 (edited) We roughed up Roger Clemens, who many have called the best pitcher of all time, we managed a win in a game that Andy Pettitte, who is one of the better post season pitchers ever, started, and we roughed up (and should have beat if not for a bad homerun call) Roy Oswalt, a guy who has won 20 the last two seasons. We're not exactly beating the little sisters of the poor here. Yes, historically we're not one of the great teams, but I've seen weaker teams win titles.
