Jake Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 How many teams have gone 11-1 in the playoffs? Come on, no '05 Sox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baines3 Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I did my part by voting for the 1917 White Sox. It seems to me they are forgetting the 2005 World Champions Chicago White Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangercal Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 agreed. 2005 Sox belong there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RX Bandits Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Jul 4, 2006 -> 06:28 PM) The '05 Sox we're too "lucky" to qualify. which yankees team went 11-1 in the playoffs? I forget. I would need a good explination why a team goes 11-1 and gets lucky. Did anyone see the '07 cubs and think that ESPN thought the 2007 cubs would be good or something for half a second like i did? And why are the '95 braves on this list. they only won 90 games (on this list that is not that many) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wire to wire plus 11 and 1 in the playoffs deserves a little respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, then I realized it meant 1907 At least it doesn't have the '04 Red Sox on there. If they were there, but the '05 Sox weren't.. well.. something would be wrong.

VAfan Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 When I read that the '05 Sox were left off, I realized the whole episode is a farce. The 16-1 finish, 11-1 postseason, 4 straight complete game victories by the starters -- I don't know if anyone remembers the Tom Verducci article -- I think this is the link (but I don't have the subscription) http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/baseball/...ostseason/2005/ -- that put our team in the company of only 1 or 2 others in history. Of course, we didn't dominate with run differential like other teams have, but that just made our accomplishment all the more impressive.

JoeBatterz Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Agreed, the 2005 Sox are still not getting any respect. I voted for the 1917 Sox regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a joke that the 2005 sox aren't on there though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I saw the '07 Cubs I thought ESPN was smoking something to think the Cubs would be that good. Then I realized then meant 1907. Regardless I voted for the 1917 White Sox.

I remember right after the WS Boston Gammons even said they were one of the best couple teams he'd ever seen, putting them right there with the '98 Yanks.

They only played 144 games in '95 meaning the season was shortened by 18 games so they could have won as many as 108 games that season.
