Forgive self. It OK. Won many key game. Led way for staff. Enjoy offseason. Drive truck. Shoot animal. Grow beard. Rest.

No team can match the White Sox combination of power, pitching and experience. Certainly not the Rays. White Sox in 5

Sounds like a typical weekend here in South Cack.

Think Kenny sticks with Swisher in CF?

Or tries Shelby out?

I agree

But it’s probably not feasible. One of Dye/Thome/Kong would have to go, and I don’t really see it happening.

Although a deal in which the White Sox agree to pick up 5 or so million of Thome’s 13 million dollar option would probably make him very tradeable.

We’ll see.

i think he may be talking about his thesis.

thank you White Sox, you done us proud

I agree.

I am proud of what Ozzie could do with this team. It is slower, (though stronger) and older than just about any team we played down the stretch (aside from the ageless Tigers)

They won essentially three 1-game playoffs, and took one game from a good Rays team.

they outperformed expections by almost 20 games.

I certainly didn't see us winning a PENNANT in March

they won a division during a semi-rebuilding year

pretty impressive

You know, we're dealing with this

a lot better than the “I WILL NEVER LOVE AGAIN” crowd at Bleed Cubbie Blue did the night they got kicked out of the playoffs.

Not that it means anything, but I like the positive energy here. We’ve got a good future ahead of us.

2005 was a game changer for many of us

I’ve been a fan ever since my dad got me into this whole thing in March of 1983. Before 2005 we were pathetic, now we are proud and losses sting less and victory brings an appreciation not salvation.

That fall of 2005 was perhaps the lowest point of my life, and in the relationship with my father particularly. I won’t deny that as they won it all I shed a few tears and thought of how fucked up it was that things had gone so sour with a guy that fucking gave me a love of baseball.

Things have been much better since.

"Do you want to have a catch, Dad? Boooooo-hoooooooo."

Fag. ;)

Seriously, my Dad and I haven’t even talked baseball this fall, so I am slightly envious. You sound like Bruce Springsteen introducing " Glory Days" in concert, talking about how his old man and him never could talk when he was in high school about anything except baseball. Don’t know why, but I don’t hear football stories similar to yours with your Dad.

Special game.

haha

Hey, the first time I was able to say I was better at baseball than my dad was a great moment, something tangible you know: you can’t exactly say that about football, just too many variables.

But rifling a laser at your old man as he struggles to get his glove in place is pretty damn concrete. As is the “my back hurts” that stops the game of catch as well.

Great moments.

Mine was “It’s getting too dark – I can’t see the ball”.

(Strains of “The End” are heard.)

the Rays may have a good team

and they might even win the WS, fucking hell they are good enough.
But they have a few Cowbells in an air conditioned Florida nightmare, they’ll never have a Blackout, like what we had when we beat the Twins to take the division.

marching on together
