October 4, 200421 yr Players, games, plays, quotes, etc. What sticks out in your mind from the 2004 season? I'll do mine later.
October 4, 200421 yr Torii Hunter running over Jamie Burke. That's the 1 thing that sticks out in my mind.
October 4, 200421 yr Author -6 runs in the 9th to win vs. the Tribe -Frank going down -Mags going down -Uribe and Willie's hot starts -Opening Day -Crede's walk off vs. Tigers, last day in 1st -Burke/Hunter play
October 4, 200421 yr strangely enough the thing that sticks in my mind was a baltimore game when valentin was injured for that short while and uribe was at ss and willie at 2nd and the game ended on a web gem by uribe
October 4, 200421 yr strangely enough the thing that sticks in my mind was a baltimore game when valentin was injured for that short while and uribe was at ss and willie at 2nd and the game ended on a web gem by uribe I remember that game. It was raining a bit, it was on ESPN. That was when Koch was giving us heart attacks.
October 4, 200421 yr -Opening day -Comeback against TB with kelly dransfeldt tying the game up -Comeback against cleveland where ben broussard dropped a pop up at first base -Beating Johan Santana 2 to 1 on a clee homer to finish off the sweep and the crap dome -Maggs and Frank getting injured -Burke getting ran over my Torrii -Rowand's great year, Uribe and Gload's emergence. Just to name a few.
October 4, 200421 yr MB's total and utter domination in his 2-hit shutout against the Indians....faced the minimum, we won 14-0.
October 4, 200421 yr -Comeback against TB (attended the game) -Timo's 3 run single against Anaheim (attended the game) -Freddy's debut (attended the game) -The collision and our decision to just take it (wish I attended the game) -Sweep in Minny -Jose for Esty -Coming back from college classes on opening day to find out we lost in the bottom of the ninth to the Royals, while my roommate soaked in a Cubs victory -Buehrle's almost no-hitter (hard to forget, a storm knocked down a tree during the game and it fell through our house! I continued to watch the game)
October 4, 200421 yr -Being in First Place at the All Star Break. -Great Seasons from Carlos, Shingo, Buehrle, and Rowand. -Joe Crede = Mr. Clutch Walk Off. -Getting Snubbed by Torre for the All-Star Game. (Only ELo?) -Getting Rid of Billy Koch -Injuries to Frank and Maggs. -Numerous 5 Game Losing Streaks. -Still tuning in for every game in Late August and all of September, even if we had no chance. -SOX PRIDE *Another season ends with no Post Season. I am still proud to be a White Sox fan. I love the group of core guys this team is built around, and can't wait until next year.
October 4, 200421 yr -SOX PRIDE Good call on that. That kind of died down when the team did, but that was a really fun theme this year.
October 4, 200421 yr The Good emergence of A Row Paulie bouncing back. Caballo's solid offense. Buehrle's consistency. Shingo Time -- Gong included. The Bad Getting swept by the Cubs. Maggs getting injured and probably departing. Frank getting injured. Crede regressing Garland failing to step forward.
October 4, 200421 yr 1.) I remember our quick start and thinking Oz was the answer and we were going to win consistently all year. It looked like Manuel had indeed been the problem and we were going to win, win, win. I was wrong. Was it the injuries that cost us a title in Oz's first season here? We'll never know that answer. 2.) Crede's walk off home run after which I thought we were gonna win it all even w/out Maggs and Hurt. Little did I know that game would signal the start of a long losing streak the next day and really the end of our season. It was perplexing to say the least. 3.) Willie and Uribe looking good early and me thinking I was wrong and they would be studs all year. Glad Uribe battled back late in the year to prove he belongs. 4.) Koch sucking early and ruining any momentum we'd build. 5.) Mark B's excellence. Ben Davis' little hot streak after we got him. Shingo's saves, the injuries ruining our season, and our continued inability to beat anybody in our division except the Royals, also Paulie's many homers and Crede coming through in the ninth a lot.
October 4, 200421 yr Maggs and Franks injuries Hunter plowing Burke Meeting Jeff Baj The tailgates/Jimbos
October 4, 200421 yr Paulie's game ending bomb to left field in the pouring rain, and as he hit it lightening went off in the backround, almost like in the NATURAL. It was awesome. Oh, and the fights with the cubs fans at the cell, I love how only they get kicked out.
October 4, 200421 yr The collision with Harris and Maggs Valentin's walk off against the Indians. Lee's long hitting streak Winning 2/3 against the Cubs Juan Uribe's breakout Shingo and his wonderful response from the fans. That crazy montreal game with Arnie pitching. Billy Koch and his constant chokes I sat there questioning why the first month we were playing like a whole new team, running,bunting, hitting in the clutch.............. but as the season progressed we reverted back to our slugging self.
October 4, 200421 yr Paulie's game ending bomb to left field in the pouring rain, and as he hit it lightening went off in the backround, almost like in the NATURAL. It was awesome. I think that I'd pay $$ to get a panorama picture of that.
October 4, 200421 yr Willie Harris' reaction immediately after he and Maggs collided in short right. He jumped up and looked like a mad man, anyone else remember that? Kinda Funny. The opening day shocker. No one throwing at Hunter, post Burke tackle. The realization that we're gonna stink......for a while.
October 4, 200421 yr Paulie's game ending bomb to left field in the pouring rain, and as he hit it lightening went off in the backround, almost like in the NATURAL. It was awesome. Wasn't game ending.
October 4, 200421 yr I sat there questioning why the first month we were playing like a whole new team, running,bunting, hitting in the clutch.............. but as the season progressed we reverted back to our slugging self. Good point. That was perplexing, except with this season there's always the thing you almost have to have when discussing anything: What woulda happened had we had Maggs n Frank?
