Ok, the last few posts were pretty funny. But in all seriousness ........ Can you imagine if the SOX were to miraculously come back, win the division, roll thru the playoffs, and Win the WS? This WS would, in my mind, eclipse last years for just sheer excitement.

Nothing will ever top the 2005 World Series. I don't care if Thome hits a walkoff grand slam in the 9th inning of game 7 of the WS against your Cubs.

2005 was great and all, but that would top 2005.

 

On second thought, it probably would, and beating the Cubs would be a big reason why. That would be more exciting, but the 2005 World Series championship will always be my best sports memory.

Want to place a little wager on that?

 

OH SNAP

 

and yeah, this thread could pretty much die until like October when the World Series starts too. Unless it's the Little League World Series, in which case it's in the wrong forum.

I can't imagine us making the series. But if we can just get in the playoffs

anythng is imaginable.

We are a team allegedly built for the postseason with on paper

some good starters and a lotta run scoring potential.

If we can somehow win the wild card, I wouldn't want to be a fan

of the team that plays us.

The Sox have as good of a chance as anyone once the postseason starts. If the season ended today the ALDS matchups would be:

 

OAK at DET

Sox at NYY

 

I like our chances, and especially with Detroit having to travel to Oakland for games 3 and possibly 4, then travel back to the Detroit to play the ALCS.

The infamous Dayn Perry wrote this about the stretch run home for the A.L contenders;

 

Team Avg. opponents' win% % of games at home

Angels 0.529 51.0

A's 0.487 54.9

Rangers 0.508 50.0

Red Sox 0.515 55.8

Twins 0.504 51.9

White Sox 0.528 52.8

Yankees 0.510 49.1

 

The Red Sox are 35-17 at Fenway this season, and they'll have the most home tilts down the stretch. The Yankees have a slightly easier go of it the rest of the way, so the schedule suggests they'll hold on to their lead. The wild card in the AL is much tougher to call. The White Sox have the toughest slate ahead, so Boston might be a narrow favorite.

 

So the schedule makers haven't been kind to us this season.

The comeback against the Yankees last night may have been the one that gets the Sox to play like the Champions they are. Also defending champions don't go down with out a fight.

 

 

WIN OR DIE TRYING!!

 

GO WHITE SOX!! :gosox1:
