QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Oct 3, 2005 -> 12:26 PM) We have a wedding this Friday. Starts at 4pm. :banghead What should I do? 1. Tivo the game. 2. DO NOT listen to the radio or anyone else talking about the White Sox at the wedding. 3. Keep anything White Sox related out of your mind AND ear. 4. On the way home from the wedding, DO NOT turn on the radio, and keep your eyes straight. Do not look to your right or left in case some of the White Sox fans jubilantly celebrate the White Sox's win. 5. When you get home from the game, turn on your TV and start watching the White Sox beating up on the Red Sox. Have a great wedding day! It will be double pleasures for you on that night.

QUOTE(letsgoarow @ Oct 3, 2005 -> 10:54 AM) Peter "boston" Gammons has picket the white sox to win the serires against his beloved red sox......that has to be a good sign. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/playoffs2005...s?series=boschw Damn, Gammons just gave us his jinx! Damn him for doing this! Let's get our Rally Crede mystics out to eradicate this jinx!

QUOTE(YASNY @ Oct 3, 2005 -> 02:36 AM) This will not be a walk in the park type series. These guys are not the World Chanps for nothing. YASNY, of course this will be one of our TOUGHEST series. The Red Sox hitting lineup scares me. However, I feel their pitching (starting & bullpen) kind of offsets their great hitting lineup. We have a better pitching rotation than theirs. Let's win game 1 and 2, then head to Boston. I feel much more secured that way, don't you?

QUOTE(qwerty @ Oct 3, 2005 -> 01:21 AM) Rowand is 2-3 off of clement this year with a homer... but if clement has his good slider working rowand will just be racking up strikeouts. Now if you said for rowand to bat third against wakefield i would agree 100%. He is 10-14 with four homers and an ops of 2.393 off him. As of now, Dye will bat 3rd in the first game. I prefer this lineup than having Rowand batting 3rd. http://www.dailysouthtown.com/southtown/ds.../pro/031sd3.htm

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 30, 2005 -> 09:01 PM) Thanks Marty Party. You blow. Don't you guys see it? It seems like we want to lose this game.

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Sep 30, 2005 -> 08:58 PM) Thank God we clinched yesterday!!! What are you talking about? If we play for real today, we would have creamed the Indians today. With our AAA lineup, they still have such a tough time to beat us!

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 03:41 PM) I don't think we'll get swept in the playoffs. I'm very hopeful, as I feel that the players will have so much less pressure now than they did the last month or so. Strangely, my biggest concern is our bullpen for the playoffs. Politte's velocity seems to be way down. At least we have one batter Neal! If we go back to our fundamentals - pitching, defense and small ball - in the playoff, we will advance to the second round. I don't know how, but I am having a very good vibe right now. Our White Sox might bring home the ultimate trophy this year!

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 03:34 PM) Then the way MLB.com worded this is incorrect: Next Monday (Oct. 3), the Indians would host the White Sox unless those two teams finish with the best records in the AL. In that case, there wouldn't be a playoff game. Okay, just to make you happy, we will sweep the Indians this weekend. We won today game. We clinched the AL Central Division. That's all we need to know!

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 03:28 PM) Kenny Williams is worthless. Didn't you guys know he got raped in the Freddy Garcia deal?? Jeremy Reed > Freddy Garcia. LOL Congratulation to KW for a well deserved job.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 03:17 PM) All along, I said the goal was to make the playoffs. That's the only thing I wanted for sure for this team. I don't care if they get swept in horrible fashion....IT'S BETTER THAN MISSING THE PLAYOFFS! Fathom: Now I have to disagree with you again. What the hell you're talking about us being swept in the playoff and in horrible fashion! We will advance to second round. Keep the faith!

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 03:03 PM) As one of his biggest critics on this site, I thought I would take the time to congratulate him on leading this team to the playoffs. No matter if you're the Yankees or Royals, you play the 162 game season to make the playoffs. Ozzie's team was able to do that, so here's to Ozzie: I'm crying while reading your post. We all are ONE TEAM! Let's do it and take the pennant flag home to the Cell.

I don't know how to feel - happy, estatic, thrilling, exciting, etc. But one thing I can share with you. Going through such a tough stretch of the season, especially the last few weeks, I feel that the White Sox are now better prepared to go into the playoff and make some noise. If Pods, Everett, Crede and Rowand can get hot in the playoff, watch out! I feel much better about our chances this year than the year of 2000, when we just limped into the postseason and got swept by the Mariners. But most importantly, thanks for all of you for going through all of the ups and downs of this tremendous season with me. Many angry and uncalled-for words have been thrown at each other, but nevertheless, we all have just one goal, and that goal is being played right in front of us. Congrat on the tremendous season SO FAR!

QUOTE(Soxfest @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 02:45 PM) Congrats SOX we can relax for weekend No, we have to win at least two more for homefield advantage.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 02:23 PM) Why does ESPN keep saying we clinch the Central with a win? If we win today, we will be AL Central Division Champions.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 02:22 PM) holy s*** guys this is amazing Would you guys stop scaring me! I am afraid!

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 02:15 PM) hermy has to close this out. I think Jenks should start the 9th. If we start Hermanson, and if he doesn't do well, we don't have anybody else that I trust to come in. Let Jenks start the 9th, and bring Hermanson in if Jenks allows runners on.

We need at least one more insurance run! Come on guys!

ARE YOU GUYS FEELING IT YET! UNBELIEVABLE FEELINGS THAT I HAVE RIGHT NOW!!!!
