Wite could beat the Tigers by himself at the moment.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Oct 26, 2006 -> 11:22 PM) If the Cardinals finish this off, it continues to strengthen my theory that the MLB playoffs are about 90 percent luck. Not to diminish what teams do in October, but it's so much about luck. Hell, even us last year, if the A.J. play is called properly, we might go on the road down 2-0. That's why it's so important to MAKE the playoffs, because anything can happen. No offense but that's bull. For the most part, the best teams win in October(I don't care what anyone says) but there are obviously exceptions to every rule and this might be one of them. I'm embarrassed right now to watch this damn thing. The Tigers are disgracing themselves and I'm really starting to dislike Cardinal fans(a few bad apples for every fan base, unfortunately I'm in Cards territory now). The thought of an 83 win team winning a championship does kind of make me sick though, not going to lie.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Oct 26, 2006 -> 12:08 PM) There defense is ridiculously solid/strong. Offensively one thing Booty has missed are his two top receivers who were out so things could get better after that. However, Booty has not played near as strong as of late (which again could be because of injuries to his playmakers). I'm not saying he's stunk, but he hasn't played like a national championship QB should play. I still think they lose to Cal.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Oct 26, 2006 -> 01:22 AM) I want the off-season to just get here ASAP so Kenny can start retooling this White Sox team. ^^^ I just want this darn thing to end so the offseason can begin.

I wouldn't mind Heilman for our bullpen but I got a feeling he'd get rocked in the rotation.

What the hey, time to pop in the ol' World Series DVD.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Oct 26, 2006 -> 01:56 AM) Yeah, SI had 'em at 18 (I think). Is this SIU team comparably better or worse than the one that made the Sweet 16 run a few years back? I honestly couldn't tell you how it compares considering I really just started to follow SIU bball hardcore last season. I can tell you that this team is pretty damn good and deep. We have a few weaknesses but this team could definitely be a s16 team.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Oct 26, 2006 -> 12:07 AM) This has got to be some kinda record for most games pushed back because of rain for one post-season. Happy it didn't happen to us, it would have made me go nuts.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Oct 26, 2006 -> 12:04 AM) we were up 2 games to nil, headed to the bottom of the 14th, at this time last year..... So um, yeah. Happy Damaso Marte is trying to give this game away anniversary. Ya well I didn't want to wait until 11 to make this thread, so sue me.

October 26, 2005... " A groundball passed jenks, up the middle of the infield, Uribe has it, he throws, OUT OUT, a White Sox Winner and a World Championship."

Hudson is a name that really intrigues me. Yes he had a down year but he's been one of the better pitchers in baseball for a while now and I definitely think he'll bounce back.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Oct 25, 2006 -> 07:28 PM) Pre-season prediction/projections coming out... For the Big East predictions, most have Marquette finishing anywhere in that 3-6 range. Not that they mean much, but it's fun for discussional purposes. Collegehoops.net has your Eagles at 27. They've got to the top 20 and still no SIU, meaning we're going to be in the top 19. Like you said, means absolutely nothing but it's fun to look at and discuss.

http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb...sp&c_id=cws Pretty good article. I especially like this quote from Lance: "If I get my shot for the White Sox, I'll find a way to get the job done. That's what good pitchers do."

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Oct 25, 2006 -> 03:21 PM) Technically speaking it seems attitude is the big reason the Mets are open to getting rid of him. I've also seen him make some horrible mistakes in the field, but thats totally understandable considering he's a rookie. The question is how much of the attitude is because he's in NY. Either way I'll take Mike Pelfrey. If we want to go young in LF we have Sweeney or Fields. Pelfrey dominated AA in his 12 games, pitched well in his only AAA game and while he's been rushed he has front of the rotation stuff and was able to get his feet wet at the major league level part of last season. I'd take Pelfrey as well and it's not even close for me. But as far as Milledge goes can I ask why the attitude concerns? Cause I remember him getting fined(I believe) for high fiving some fans after a homer but what exactly has he done wrong? Honest question, cause I really don't remember.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan99 @ Oct 25, 2006 -> 03:03 PM) ND scored a TD to make the score 27-20 with a little over 5 minutes left and then OSU on their next drive scored a TD. Gracias, that's what I thought.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Oct 25, 2006 -> 02:50 PM) I thought at one point we recovered a fumble or something (only to have it reviewed and over-turned) or had a TD come back that could have tied it and than OSU instead shut the door. But if ND wasn't outclassed speed wise in the secondary it would have been more of a game. However, it was the type of game that even when it got close I really didn't think ND would win. But thats cause OSU was clearly the 3rd best team in the country. However that OSU team is probably national champs most years, but it just happened that two of the best teams in college history both happened to appear in 05 (Texas and USC). You might be right. I just remember feeling that ND never really had a shot.

QUOTE(He_Gawn @ Oct 25, 2006 -> 02:39 PM) Blown out again? it was 34-20 and Notre Dame had the ball with under 5 minutes left and had a chance to tie the game. But they didnt and OSU scored with a minute left. Thats far from a blowout. IIRC ND scored with about 5 minutes left to get the game within a td. So ya, blowout wasn't the appropiate term to use here but irrc they never actually had a chance to tie the game up.

QUOTE(Steff @ Oct 25, 2006 -> 02:06 PM) Yes.. what Jackie said.. :rolleyes Hell, I'm not going to give you or Gage any credit. I was going to jump into the whole argument but I just decided to stay out of it. I'm almost positive you guys are correct, I just can't find anything to back it up at the moment.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 25, 2006 -> 01:59 PM) This is the key here. If this is indeed true (and I just don't remember seeing it) then we have our answer, and can end this nonsense finally. Does anyone have a link that actually said the Yankees are required by MLB to pass along this money if Alex leaves NYY? I haven't been able to find a link but I'm 95 percent sure that what Jackie said is correct.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Oct 25, 2006 -> 01:46 PM) Maybe it's his WS numbers I'm thinking of, or his BA w/RISP in the WS stat that I'n thinking of. ARod has never played in the World Series.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Oct 25, 2006 -> 12:03 PM) Exactly Albeit it I think Florida is hands down a better team than ND. I think Florida is the 3rd best team in the country. But Tennessee is not better. Tennessee would rock your Irish senor Gage.

ND once again is a joke of a top 10 team. They're going to lose to USC, get their bcs game and get blown out again. Same crap as last year.

The Tigers have had a great season and I think they'll still win this series but so far their play has been embarrassing.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Oct 24, 2006 -> 09:04 PM) I know this guy is supposedly great and all that, but I have no interest in spending a total of 80 or 90 millon between posting fee and general deal for a guy that has never thrown a pitch over here. What if he's Kaz Matsui part 2? He won't be.
