SoxFan1 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Just saw this on ESPN, the Sox are up for "Best Team" in the ESPY's. Vote for them over the Steelers, Heat, and UTexas Longhorns football. http://espn.go.com/espy2006/ Ozzie Guillen also up for Best Coach.

Milkman delivers Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 There really is no reason that they shouldn't be up for it. When I saw earlier that they were announcing the nominees today, I thought of how funny it would be around here if they didn't get nominated.

Dam8610 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Well the Sox are the only deserving team, so hopefully they win it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeBatterz Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Never a big fan of the ESPY's. Sox deserve the make believe award though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 The Steelers will probably win, but the Sox truly played like a team (Than again so did the Steelers). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they played like a team with the referres on their side. I'm not a Hawks fan though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo's Drinker Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Pittsburgh in the east, they win I would love if Ozzie won and he said thank you espn...Mariotti is a f** on his acceptance speech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxin' Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Are the results based solely on the fans vote? If so we're probably screwed going up against the Steelers. How can a team that goes wire-to-wire 162 games in first place and 11-1 in the postseason not the best team in a season? GMAB the Steelers don't deserve it over us. They were a wild card 6 seed. Yes, they won the Super Bowl, but great teams usually have great seasons and postseasons, ie White Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbeFroman Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I'd bet a huge texan vote carries the UT longhorns. Sox should win it though... BTW, the espy award is the most useless award in sports. In all its time, the Espys have produced only one memorable moment; and that was for the lifetime achievement award to Bob Valvano who basically came from his deathbed to speak at the event.

The Sox should win either way you look at it. The 5th team ever to go wire-to-wire in 100+ years of Major League Baseball? That's a pretty damn good team. Everyone playing a large part in the team's success? That's a pretty damn good team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitetrain8601 Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 For coach of the year, I voted Jim Larranaga from George Mason. What he did with that team was just too awesome. Sox are the best team though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
