Buehrle>Wood

2008 was really likable. And it showed on Soxtalk. We were all pretty content with the losses in the playoffs.

Do they they think I'm an idiot or a brilliant baseball mind? Why don't 1000 of the 5000 post more? It's because of the catch-all thread. Kills discussion on this board.

This Illinois team is unbelievably good. Explosive offense, brick wall defense, and special teams that would put the Bears to shame.

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Sep 29, 2012 -> 03:37 AM) Where does he hint at leaving? When asked if he plans to come back "At this point certainly, I have some time on my contract" I never heard the interview but b and b said specifically afterwards that he had hinted at leaving.

Going tomorrow. Do it again.

He apparently hinted at it according to Boers and Bernstein. Bring back DJ and reunite that great booth.

QUOTE (scenario @ Sep 28, 2012 -> 04:35 AM) Would be interested to know how many seasons in our history we led the division in September. Anyone have that info? Pretty sure it'd be 2012, 2008, 2005, 2003 and 2000 since 2000.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 28, 2012 -> 04:15 AM) I think it's the second most disappointing end of a season in White Sox history. If you check the history books, I believe the 67 or 69 White Sox had control and went to Kansas City and lost a doubleheader to one of the worst teams in baseball history. The Sox had Peters and Horlen pitching both ends and lost both games. The Sox went on to lose the AL title to Boston or Detroit or somebody the history books tell us. This season is the biggest choke job in Sox history. Nobody will notice or care, however, cause Mariotti is gone and Cowley isn't writing anymore. I listen to Les Grobstien every night and he keeps repeating that nobody thought the Sox would be any good and they didn't choke. I wish Mariotti was still here cause he would have feasted on this choke and perhaps his swarmy words would have angered our Sox so much well maybe they could have beaten KC a few games that would have made a world of difference. Maybe they would have rallied against the media "not believing in us." Instead everybody's been nice in the media watching this train wreck. Keep patting the White Sox on the back pundits ... this was a major choke job. No question. Biggest choke job with the only one rivaling it the aforementioned one in the 60s. Comments? Good post. I've been wondering where the media outrage has been as well. Sox are going to get let off easy. I'm tired of the posts saying that this was a great season because we exceeded expectations. We didn't, first off, if the other thread is any indication. Second, when you're three up with fourteen to play, the expectation is to win. That's a much greater and important expectation and it's looking like we blew it. I like the emergence of Sale and De Aza, and you hope some of the other young guys you can depend on, but it doesn't look like that will be a trade off with our veterans getting older/moving on

I don't ever remember actually collapsing in 2006. At least not too late. We just couldn't keep up. 2003 is about the only thing comparable to me. Most loaded team in franchise history all goes to waste because of Jose Paniagua

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 28, 2012 -> 04:27 AM) Weird, but this is still doable. Didn't Detroit have a 3 game lead with 4 to play a few years ago? Yeah. I think they lead basically every day of the season except the last. Difference is they were playing the Twins who swept them at the end.

Glad I now have something to complain about.

Well, what is it?

Don't walk him. I don't want Konerko up.

Watch us do something stupid like steal.

Youkilis will save us.

Dan Johnson swinging the bat well. Better not let him play.

Look who it is.

That was coming from a mile away.

LOL

get behind every hitter. get behind every hitter.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 28, 2012 -> 03:37 AM) A quality Peavy outing is a terrible thing to waste. Don't jinx it.

Just one clutch hit for the love of god. It can't be that hard.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Sep 28, 2012 -> 03:34 AM) This is a joke, right? Yes.
