Sox It To Em Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 A comeback can happen, but if it doesn't, I will continue to cherish 2005. This year reminded me just how incredibly difficult it is to win the World Series, and how special it is of an accomplishment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I can't wait to see us in Chicago again. I really hope the Sox give you guys somethin to cheer for. Watching on the TV isn't too fun, I've found after our 2 playoff runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSOX45 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 3, 2008 -> 07:31 PM) Let's give the crowd a strong effort, as they deserve it for Tuesday. You can call me a homer if you wish, but I truly feel that our crowd Tuesday has been the most electric out of all the crowds thus far in the post-season. They were geared up and ready to go from the first pitch all the way until the last out. I do take pride in that fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwolf68 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Kick ass. Im with ya...I dont know why I am positive...my middle name is cynical negative asshole....but Im giving my back to the boys. I really believe we can make a run here. We needed 3 to get in...we'll need 3 to stay in. Danks...Floyd...and Burls....its on you now. Go pitch.

Sox It To Em Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 (edited) QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 3, 2008 -> 08:38 PM) How so? I meant that we have a WS in recent memory. The Mets collapsed spectacularly in two consecutive years, the Brewers are about to lose in the first round in their first postseason appearance in 25 years, and the Cubs... well, enough said. A lot of teams' fans would kill to have had our recent success. Edited October 4, 2008 by Sox It To Em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 3, 2008 -> 08:38 PM) How so? None of them are called the White Sox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxbrian Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Perhaps this isn't the thread for it, but it is positive, so here's the way I look at it: We were supposed to lose 90-95 games. We were lost in the picture after Detroit signed Cabrera and a piece of crap Willis. We were lost in the picture when the Indians kept pretty much their whole team. However, Detroit sucked and I knew it- Willis had a 5 ERA last year in the NL. The Indians, well we lucked out with their injuries however I do think Hafner and Martinez helped us by laying off the HGH. Then, we kept playing hard, and scratching out W's, don't matter how inconsistent our f'ing offense was. Nobody believed in Danks and Floyd, until June/July. At this point, everyone kept picking us to win the division. Nobody believed in the Twins. Everyone was ruling out the Tigers and Indians (after the CC trade). Come mid August and early September, Quentin broke his hand, Crede wasn't going to play again, and Contreras tore his achillies. The team could have rolled over and died. They lost their clutch hero of years past (Crede), their best clutch player this year (maybe 2nd behind Alexei) and the MVP (Quentin), and their horse (Contreras). And yet, this team made the f'ing playoffs. We depended on f'ing Nick Swisher this year, he blew a**, and we still managed to play 3+ games in October. God bless Ozzie and the team.

God bless Ozzie and the team. their best clutch player this year (maybe 2nd behind Alexei) Are you referring to Linebrink or Crede here? Well, the White Sox had a chance to lay down and die, going quietly. And for that reason, I'm very proud of this team. I also can't imagine many other teams losing the league MVP with one month to go, one of the top five set-up men in baseball and a very good, veteran starter and still go on to make the playoffs. I think you have to give a lot of credit to Guillen for keeping this team from falling apart, despite all the seams coming lose the final week, such as Swisher and Cabrera. That's what so special against the Rays this year...they lost Crawford and Longoria for long stretches of this season and didn't collapse.

whitesoxfan101 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 (edited) Fool me once, shame on you.......... I am not giving up yet. We're coming home for two, and we have Floyd and Danks on the bump. If we can hit some home runs like we do here in Chicago, you never know. Plus, if game 5 ever happens, I expect Buehrle to redeem himself (although he wasn't bad today, just got no support and was left in too long, but you know what I mean). I know the odds are against us and the chances we pull it off are slim, but who the hell knows. Let's repeat what happened last week.

MO2005 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 This series is going 5 in my eyes! The energy at the cell is awesome and this team is just a different team at home. If we can force a game 5, the Rays could tumble... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjm676 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I am not giving up. No one expected this team to even still be playing right now. After everything they've been through this year, I am proud of what they have accomplished. It says a lot for the job Ozzie has done, too. Now, if the Rays advance, I will root for them. Even though, they have fake fans who started showing up around Labor Day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
