QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 5, 2016 -> 02:20 PM) Please answer this truthfully. In a hypothetical situation, lets say a genie would assure you 100 percent that the Sox would win the WS next season and make playoffs seven of the next 10 years (only assuring the one WS crown; Sox would have to earn the rest) but the tradeoff is your beloved Hillary would LOSE to Trump and Trump would be president one term. Would you take the deal with the genie? Nothing else would be asked of you. Just this tradeoff. I'd take Putin as president if the Sox were guaranteed to win the 2017 World Series.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Nov 5, 2016 -> 07:24 PM) They didn't dye the river black in 2005, did they? Maybe I missed that. No, they didn't have to, it's normally black.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 5, 2016 -> 07:04 AM) They broke it out that year in a series against the Dodgers. I don't know if it was from specifically 1959 or just around at that time. AJ hit a walk off homer vs them and the crowd was going nuts to it. God, the Sox used to be good. That game was so awesome. Did they stop playing that at games? I had thought they made it a normal part of the stadium experience, but I don't go to many games.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Nov 4, 2016 -> 06:15 PM) Why baseball matters. Why sports matter. Heartbreaking and beautifully written. Unfortunately, this was going to be the case for one of these fanbases no matter what. The good news is the Indians have a great young core, too. (s***ty news for us haha) This world series put me back in touch with why I love this game so much. That's really all any of this came from. Maybe it didn't for others, but IF the reason for that is your own bias, anger and hate, then I feel bad y'all missed out. Those emotions literally don't serve you in any way, and Cubs fans aren't going to stop celebrating or being obnoxious because it pisses you off... so... might as well not let it piss you off, right!? There's no winning to be had there. When exactly did you stop loving baseball? The 2014 World Series had arguably the best pitching performance ever in game 7 with the most dramatic final sequence.

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 4, 2016 -> 10:25 PM) Sounds like Montero got drunk and was critical of Maddon on the radio today. Lol. I know Montero hit that big grand slam, but he should be happy they even put him on the playoff roster. Old man Ross was better than him at the end of the year.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 4, 2016 -> 10:53 PM) Is this song real? Where did you find this? Are you serious Greg? You have really never heard this song before?

When is the last time you saw a 10-0 score in a NHL game?

QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Nov 4, 2016 -> 12:57 PM) They're estimating $5 million people for the parade rally. Certainly it's not that much, they always overestimate this stuff. But how soon until we hear about how the Cubs had x more fans there than the Sox? I would hope they have more, their fanbase is at least 2-3 times larger.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Nov 4, 2016 -> 11:40 AM) You mean besides being the greatest World Series AND WS game ever played? (as long as you're looking at it objectively of course) Four of the 7 games of the greatest World Series ever had final margins of 4 runs or more. It took a while, but I finally caught the troll act.

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 4, 2016 -> 11:02 AM) He stuck with everyone too long the last two games. He had nobody else to trust though. Maddon f***ed up with Chapman too but it worked out. Both managers were scared s***less of 80% of their pitching staff at the end, so the other 20% was used incorrectly. The Cubs had better hitters and actually play defense so they won.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Nov 4, 2016 -> 10:17 AM) I lived in Chicago for five years, and Iowa for 10 (which is all cubs fans) You can't pull that card with me. So because you lived in Chicago and Iowa, every neighbor on your block has a "W' flag on their house or window? The local New York grocery stores are covered in Cubs memorabilia because Reddy knows Cubs fans? I assume the New York Rangers will honor the Cubs at their next home game while half the fans are wearing a Cubs jersey instead of hockey gear. Amazing. Anyway, sports are fun because there are winners and losers. For every amazing moment in sports, there's somebody that's pissed.

High school student threatened with suspension for wearing "Hillary for Prison 2016" shirt.

Corey has saved 223 of 227 even strength goals this season. I hate bigger goalie contracts with the tight cap but he is making me look like a fool.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Nov 3, 2016 -> 07:39 PM) One of the coaches here at Idaho State flew to Chicago over the weekend and paid $800 dollars for a fourth row seat in the left field bleachers for Sunday. She also grabbed a BP home run. $800 dollars! Mark That's only cause the Cubs were down 3-1. That ticket would have cost over $2000 on Friday or Saturday. Either way, that is a secondary market price, not face value going to the Cubs.

He should have been on the hot seat for years. But he's not because he won Jerry a WS ring. /thread

Bears: 1985 Bulls: 6 titles from 1991-1998 White Sox: 2005 Blackhawks: 3 titles from 2010-2015 Cubs: 2016 I wasn't celebrating last night, but that's a pretty good sports run for Chicago for a fan like me in my 30s. The Bears are lagging behind, but my first ever sports memory is Super Bowl XX and I watched a tape of that game daily as a 4 year old.

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Nov 3, 2016 -> 10:58 AM) Tnanks. I was way off. Wonder how long he rides this cub train? I know he just signed a 5 year, $50 million extension, so he ain't going nowhere for the time being.

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 3, 2016 -> 10:04 AM) More of a shot at the media that forgot about 2005 True, but I see it as just as much of a "don't forget that we won first".

QUOTE (flavum @ Nov 3, 2016 -> 09:30 AM) Not sure if this has been talked about, but this is pretty passive aggressive stuff. https://twitter.com/whitesox/status/794038366400413697 That's great. Congrats, but we still don't like you.

Best team from Opening Day until the last day, not something you see that often in baseball, although things got dicey towards the end.

"Accidentally" fell asleep putting my daughter to bed around the 5th, but woke up in time to watch the 10th with my wife. At the last out, she jumped out of bed and did a 360 two-step shimmy, lol. Good for her. Good buddy of mine is a diehard fan, spent about 5k to go to Cleveland for games 6 and 7, guess it was worth it. Just glad its finally over, we can finally return to our everyday lives. I mean, nothing has changed, right? Wait, Donald Trump is a presidential candidate?? NO, the space-time continuum has been ruined forever!

Legia tied Real Madrid! And of course it was in front of an empty stadium cause of the prior hooligans in the first UCL game. I wonder if it helped not being in front of the crazies.

Just went to the local Jewel, it was packed and everybody had booze in their cart like it was New Years. And wearing blue. Kinda weird when everybody is so geek ed out about an event and you are just like meh, whatever.

QUOTE (flavum @ Nov 2, 2016 -> 02:30 PM) Jim Thome throwing out the first pitch. He really can't lose tonight. Damn, I had thought it was gonna be Ricky Vaughn

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 2, 2016 -> 11:46 AM) Not to be as ass but there's absolutely 0 chance that the Indians haven't lost 3 in a row this year. 3 games is their longest losing streak of the year. It happened 7 times. People used the longest losing streak stat and quickly turned into never lost 3 games in a row.
