It was raining a bit, it was on ESPN. That was when Koch was giving us heart attacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3E8 Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 -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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDsDirtySox Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 -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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greasywheels121 Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 -SOX PRIDE Good call on that. That kind of died down when the team did, but that was a really fun theme this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winninguglyin83 Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 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.

greg775 Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 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. Â 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. Â 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. Â 4.) Koch sucking early and ruining any momentum we'd build. Â 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.

babybearhater Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 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. Â Oh, and the fights with the cubs fans at the cell, I love how only they get kicked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSoxShuf Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 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.

LosMediasBlancas Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 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. Â The opening day shocker. Â No one throwing at Hunter, post Burke tackle. Â The realization that we're gonna stink......for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â 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?
