Balta1701 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 27, 2007 -> 04:57 PM) By far, most important homer in Sox history. I will go to my grave personally thinkin the Rally Crede shot eclipsed all of those. Yes, it was the regular season...but by my line of thinking...the White Sox do not make the playoffs in 2005 without that shift of momentum.

On the way home from work, I was thinking of where I'd put that. I was going to say 2nd, with Pods walkoff homer 3rd. Like you mention, you might not make the playoffs without Crede.

witesoxfan Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Not that I'm disputing Rally Crede here, but people tend to forget that the Sox lost their next 2 after that, and the Indians won 4 in a row. The most underrated moment in that White Sox season happened in Kansas City when Grady Sizemore dropped a flyball...the Indians, including that game, lost 6 of the last 7 and took themselves out of the division race.

The most underrated play was a triple Carl Everett had against the Tigers during the last week of the season. We had lost two games in a row to them, were hitting terrible, and he had a huge 2-out, 2 RBI triple that opened the flood gates for the rest of the season. We must have outscored the opposition by a ton from that point forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Aug 27, 2007 -> 06:50 PM) Uh, Konerko's slam is greater than 2 and 3, for sure. Iguchi's homer against the Red Sox after the ball went through Graffinino's legs was also huge. There is no telling what kind of confidence lift that gave the team. Who knows what happens if Boston wins that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember how the day after the Crede homer, Comcast was messed up for like 4 innings? Not a good day for them after one of biggest wins in Sox history.

I can't remember which one it was exactly. I just remember that game sucked hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After looking at the numbers on the cube, pretty interesting stuff. Bourgeois Theriot Theriot's 2006 numbers in Iowa, and Bourgeois at AAA in 2007. If someone could post a table, that would be nice. Anyone think maybe he should get as much consideration at 2B as Richar? Maybe a platoon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
