HermanFontenot Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Tribe fan and a lover of the City of Chicago here. I just wanted to congratulate you guys on your World Championship. Superb pitching, timely hitting, great fielding... the Sox were magnificent. You deserve it. I'm shaking my head... a month ago I thought my team was better than yours, and that we would run you down and take the division from you. I thought the Indians were the best team in baseball, and could be World Champions. I was wrong. But I'll go to my grave thinking that you won the World Series when you flattened the Tribe in the season series. Those were the two best teams in the game going at it, 19 times, and you took a chunk out of us. Those 19 games got you in, and kept us out. And despite the fact that I hate the White Sox more than any other Central team, the respect I have for your organization, your manager, your players, and you, the White Sox fans, is immense. I've been lurking on these boards ever since early September, and in that time I've learned everything I know about the bond between the Sox and the fans, your loyalty, and your perseverence in the face of 88 years of frustration. My hat goes off to all of you. Enjoy this to the fullest. On April 3, 2006... it's on again. You won't go 14-5 against us next year (hopefully). Congrats again, An Indians fan.

Soxbadger Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 That is why they play the games. Barely any expert picked the White Sox to do much this year. I fear in the future what the Indians and Tigers might become, but for now the White Sox are on top, and no amount of future will ever change that. Thanks for making the White Sox earn this season when your team could have turned it in. If it was not for the Indians pushing the White Sox this year, there is a chance that this may not have ever happened. SB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodAsGould Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Hey thanks for all the props man... I personally love your Indians team Peralta, V-Mart, Hafner, Sizemore all seem like the players who can make you guys a powerhouse like in the 90's..... Also your pitching is great 2 especially if you can bring back Millwood and replace Elearton.... But thanks for the props and btw I was hoping you guys would make it in as a wildcard b4 the playoffs started 2 but now that its over I wouldnt change a thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next season will be fun and exciting. Hate as a sports term, of course. My hate for the White Sox is strictly rivalry hate. Not real hate. That I reserve for the Yankees and Red Sox Really, I all I wanted was for the AL Central to get the kind of representation it deserved. We couldn't do it, but at least you guys did. I hope the world knows now that the AL Central is the best division in baseball (except for the Royals ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides we can agree on hating the Twins, so that's good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
