greg775 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Q-After wanting the Sox to win for so long and to have them come through and make this the best winter ever ... somebody asked me if I'd be as much a fanatic next season and seasons to come. I ask you the same question. Will you "want it as much" next year? Will you sweat out every game as you probably did this year? Be mad at baserunning blunders when we lose or if Garland walks 7 in 3 innings? Or if Marte walks two guys and we lose the opener, 7-6? Will you be AS passionate as before now that we've won the crown is all I'm asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnB Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 i'll still be as passionate as always. I'll still make this team my life for 6 months out of the year. I can't imagine summer without the white sox being the best part of the day. The one difference will be, if we fail, i will be able to shrug it off a hell of a lot easier.

The Critic Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 It's impossible to want the next one as much as I wanted this one. I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm actually satisfied. I want the Sox to be competitive, to be in the running, but I am so relieved and happy to have seen what just happened, that if they fall off a little bit I can't imagine being too down on them. Somehow in my mind, breaking an 88-year drought buys you a couple years of a "free pass". Fire on me if you wish, I don't care. The Sox gave me something my grandparents never had, so I'm okay for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 (edited) I can't say I would want the next one more than the one we just had. But I think I want it just as bad. I'm a greedy mofo. I don't want the Sox to be one of those team's that wins it and you never hear from them again. I want us to be in position to contend every year. With that said, it won't hurt nearly as much if we didn't win it next year, the year after that or the year after that.

GoodAsGould Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 A course I still want them to win a WS. And if they do a course ill celebrate and go to the parade and everything. But unlike this season where I would of been absolutely crushed if they lost in the WS. Id still be very sad/mad but Id be able to deal with it. A course thats unless its a WS vs the Cubs Against them we have to win to defend our honor lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox gave me something my grandparents never had, so I'm okay for now. I agree for the most part. As a Bulls fan (that remembers the first three peat was too young to really appreciate it) the first title of the second three peat was by far the sweetest and while the other two were great they just didn't give me quite the same feeling. The only way I would enjoy or want a WS title as much as this one is if we are playing the Cubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch and Judy Garland Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I think its probably more gratifying ( or at least it would seem more real) to win it all with expectations. The expectations of third place are a big reason why some of us (me included) are struggling to believe it happened. I think goign in with high hopes and seeing them realized would be very special. Maybe it wouldn't be as exhilarating but we might want it just bad enough because we wouldn't have that part of us waiting for the other show to drop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chisox72 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I can guarantee that I will be just as into it next year as this year. It was AWESOME winning this, don't get me wrong, but I don't think that this team is done yet. I think that what they built can either win some more or is at least set to contend for a while. That will be the fun part. I don't want to win this once and fade either. Hell, as it stands now, I can't wait for spring training to start!

greasywheels121 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Nothing will ever top this one. White Sox World Series Champs >>>> Hoosier (National Champs) + Colts (Super Bowl) + Pacers (Finals Champs) I can finally put to rest the idea that I'd never see the Sox win it. I know that's kind of sad, being I've only been a fan for approximately 15 years. It is nice being able to realize that I can forget about that worry. With that being said, the Sox are the team I live and die with the most. Once the season starts, I'll be just as hungry to see this team do it again and again and again.

Punch and Judy Garland Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Nov 7, 2005 -> 07:05 AM) For the 1st few months, I can really see myself saying after a loss,"well, they did win the World Series....." but thats going to get old at some point. By June, yes, I will be living and dying by every pitch again. Exactly. I fully expect Fire Kenny, Sell the team Jerry, trade Contreras, add Griffey and so many other shouts to be belted again. There is nothing wrong with that is what the heat of the season is all about. Perspective is for these cold months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GasHeGone Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I want the next one more than I wanted the first one. Let's not get complacent. Let's start a f***ing dynasty on the South Side circa '96 Yankees. I would love nothing more than to win another won...and maybe another one.

Greasy, I'm in trouble if the Colts and Pacers win this year. I have to turn off sports forever if the Sox, Pacers, Colts, and either Dallas or Nashville wins the Stanley Cup all in the same year. That was my agreement. I'm going to be one bored mo-fo if that happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YASNY Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Now that the Sox have won the World Series (Did I just say that!?) I can retire as a Sox fan and get on with a healthy, productive life. NOT!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Colts are 7-0 (as of right now), the Pacers are very solid, and the Hoosiers look to finally be "back" in terms of basketball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this season was magical because no one thought the Sox would be there (except the loyal fans). Next year it is a whole new twist. The Sox are the champs that everyone is trying to knock off. Also, a repeat is a huge achievement in this era of baseball, unless you are the Yankees and you just buy them. I actually cannot wait for the 2006 season to start. I am more excited for opening day next year as I was this year. Edited November 7, 2005 by WinninUgly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnB Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 With the sox winning it, i could have the rest of my teams lose for the next 5 years and i wouldn't say a damn thing. Too bad, that's semi-realistic for our football team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ottawa_sox Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I would like to say that I will now be able to shift my focus onto more important things at the expense of the White Sox, now that the 'seemingly impossible' has occured.................... but addictions don't work that way. I imagine I will want them to win just as much next year ...................... the difference will be not the thrill of winning, but the pain of losing. It won't be as great as in the past.

CSF Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 (edited) Man, you just don't get years like this one. Sox win it all. Illini come within 1 minute of being Natl Champs. Notre Dame football is back to dominance. The Bulls were back in the playoffs this year! The Bears are leading the NFC North with a legit shot at the playoffs this year. I've been on about a 12 month high. With that being said, I want another championship on the South Side next year.

SoxFan1 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 This question is almost rheotrical to me. The reason you get up to play baseball is to win the World Series. Hell yeah I want this one just as much. IMO, The Sox have the ability to be perennial contenders/play-off teams like the Braves, Yankees, Red Sox, and Angels.
