witesoxfan Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 I'm in that same mode too...except it's a bit different after tonight. Last night I was going crazy with excitement...tonight, I'm not at all like that. Also, am I the only one that thinks it feels like the Sox have won a hell of a lot more than 6 games in the playoffs? Maybe it's just because I've never had a chance to watch them on a consistent basis...but it feels like they've won about 12 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 I was born in November of '57. I was not even two years old when the Sox won the pennant in '59. Needless to say, I don't remember it. 1983 was so awesome, as it was the first time I could ever remember the Sox finishing in 1st place. After all these years, this is something on an entirely different level. This team has been doubted, questioned and disrespected all year. They've used that disrespect to motivate themselves. They've taken that disrespect and shoved it right up the asses of all the doubters. No matter what happens the rest of the way, this team will always have a special place in my heart and I'll never forget 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 QUOTE(BigEdWalsh @ Oct 15, 2005 -> 11:33 PM) From Pods : ``I don't think I have the words to describe what that city is going to be like if we're able to pull that off,'' White Sox leadoff man Scott Podsednik said. When this thing is clinched, you guys in Illinois/Chicago area scream and holler a little for me, will ya? I'll be screaming and hollering here in Utah but if anything it will just cause some concern for neighbors who for sure will be wondering what the heck is going on at my house. They may call the cops. My neighbors will know why My Scout Troop has been kidding me all year. I have one die hard Yankee fan and a die hard Red Sox fan amongst my youth members. I was shocked when the Red Sox fan wore his Red Sox cap to Scouts last week. I was conducting a training session for Scout leaders a couple weekends ago and using Powerpoint. When I was closing up I accidentaly switched to my desktop and everyone started laughing. I had one of the White Sox wallpapers up. They knew I was nuts, now they know how much.

The Critic Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 This has been more surreal the closer it gets to......you know..... I'm 100% certain the players have not gotten ahead of themselves. There are too many recent examples ( Red Cubs coming back, Blue Cubs collapsing ) for the Sox to put the cart before the horse. Last night Paulie put me at ease for the entire game. That blast just seemed to put everything right in place. This season has been so emotional, even in the Dark Days of September. It's been fantastic, and is about to get even better IF.....YOU KNOW....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Oct 15, 2005 -> 11:23 PM) It's also very akward to me. I've never had a favorite team win a championship in my lifetime. Neither have I I just missed out on the Bears winning it (I was born in '87), and the closest I've been to having my team win it all was with the 76er's in the NBA and last year in college basketball with the Illini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That funky motion Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 It still has not hit me yet! The Bulls and Bears were nice! I am a NY Ranger fan(Grandfather made me a fan) and 94 was one of the greatest seasons to remember. But that team you could see it coming. If this happens I will cry like a b****! I have waited soooo long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Today I'm going to run over to Best Buy and splurge on a digital cam with a good zoom for the game today. If the Sox clinch I'm getting a DVD recorder so I can record the World Series on DVD. I should be able to find some tickets from a scalper today. I'll be there bright and early with the rest of the Anaheim crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpringfieldFan Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 (edited) I know exactly what this is like. It feels just like the 1991 Bulls run did. That was the year they finally broke through and won the championship and they did it by just rolling through the playoffs and championship series. I kept expecting there to be drama and a nailbiter for that first ring, but it never materialized. It was odd that after so long it came so easy. So far the Sox playoff wins are mounting up just like for the Bulls, but that "feeling" is there too. My hear still expects a nailbiter somewhere in this, and I still can't even imagine being in the WS, though, so I certainly don't rest easy yet.

Be Good Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 I haven't been very good with championships either, only 1 team made the NBA finals(Knicks), and before this I've never seen any of my teams make the League/Conference Championships. Dolphins and Knicks. This is an awesome feeling, very rewarding for out-of-towners who we're die-hards throught thick and thin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 I shared Bulls season tickets during the first three championships, and that was sweet. But the NBA is far more evenly competitive and it was kind of expected. As a Sox fan, I had long ago resigned myself to the possibility of never being in the WS during my lifetime.

GasHeGone Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 You have to win four to move on. We're not there yet. Let's get there tonight. But remember, you have to win four to win a series, not three. Then, you have to win another four games in the World Series. I know I'm being Captain Obvious right now, but I want to remind everyone (including myself) that we have a long way to go. Go Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone said it's a lot like the Bulls first championship in '91. How true! It's been too easy....so far. But that was kind of expected. With the White Sox, this is NOT expected.
