2005 WS Champs, Chicago WhiteSox!!!

Fabulous job by the White Sox - congrats. For a laugh, this was my pre-season preview on them:

"3. Chicago White Sox: This team will finish third for two reasons: a.) I expect big seasons from the front of their rotation, and b.) default. They've been a poorly constructed team and a poor organization for 80 some years, and the '05 version is no different. The casual fan couldn't pick 98% of their roster out of a police line-up, and the ones he could name would either be washed-up (and not that good even when they were young) veterans in Jermaine Dye, Timo Perez, Paul Konerko, and Carl Everett, or would be Frank Thomas (who might as well have retired five seasons ago)."

Gotta be the worst prediction since General Custer thought there'd be friendly Indians at Little Big Horn.

Keep that trophy warm until we reclaim it next year, bitches!

Nice sweep by the Sox. I guess gave the 'Stros too much vcredit when I picked the Sox in 5. :(

The sad thing about baseball being over is there will be more NBA and NHL on TV. After football is over, reading season begins.

At least you got the Frank Thomas part correct.:)

didn't he hit like 15 HRs out of 30 hits and 100 ABs or something like that?

 

[JCOSU86]

With this sweep, the National League hasn't won a World Series game in 2 years.

The Big Man was 23 for 105 with 12 HR's and 26 RBI's this year, with 16 walks and 19 runs scored in 34 games.

.219 avg, .315 OBP, .590 SLG%

Doesn't sound like somebody who should have retired to me.

bn44820, i already told you. We were both excited and got caught up in the moment.

Reports are beginning to circulate that some of the White Sox players received financial inducements from bookies to win the World Series.

They should have done that in 1919......they were so good against the Reds, they could turn it on and off at will.

Hey we were both excited and got caught up in the moment.

homo. there are other ways to express sheer exhilaration without reaching for the nearest man and beginning to round the bases.

Hey, BN27... I was in the middle of the fray in Chicago last night... and I'll be at the parade friday at noon.

It was quite a year to be a White Sox fan. Crazy, that our 2nd best pitcher down the strech didn't even make the playoff roster.
