April 11, 200520 yr Author QUOTE(soxman352000 @ Apr 10, 2005 -> 06:53 PM) It just pisses you off because I think we deserve a little credit Weve finished 2nd in the division 3 years in a row now... i dont get why we arent getting at least a MENTION in the competition for the central..
April 11, 200520 yr I think most of the lack of respect comes from not having that big name hard throwing, strike out machine...like The Great Kerry Wood :banghead Edited April 11, 200520 yr by EvilJester99
April 11, 200520 yr With the s*** we're pulling on National TV, there's a reason why we're not eyecandy to ESPN. GODDAMNIT
April 11, 200520 yr Wow is there like an ESPN rule you can not pick/praise/mention the White Sox? Yes since 1980
April 11, 200520 yr Harold Reynonds is a nobody. What he says means absolutely nothing to anyone who knows the game of baseball. There are reasons why he works for ESPN, but they aren't related to his knowledge of the game of baseball or his success in his career. He is best served analyzing the Little League World Series, which just about corresponds to his level of knowledge and comprehension about how the game is played. Anything that jackass says draws this reaction from me.... :sleep
April 11, 200520 yr I dont want to go off on it again. Yeah, f*** Reynolds, but seriously...this should make us happy, and should light a fire under the Sox ass. We'll see come June and July who the contenders are. Cleveland will fall out of the race due to a lack of starting pitching, and Detroit will for the same reasons. And Minnesota may be in for a rough ride too without a real good 5th starter for 2-3 months. We are the most overall complete team in the division, with quite a bit of depth all over. I am not worried at all. I still feel that the only team that I have seen play that really scares me a lot is New York...and even they have weaknesses.
April 11, 200520 yr This place is becoming illiniboard THEY ALL HATE US! ESPN DIDN't SAY OUR NAMES! JESUS DIDN'T LIKE US! Calm down guys, Just let our boys of summer prove it out there.
April 11, 200520 yr I wished I could quote everyone here. But, that's beside the point since they are all right. I couldn't believe it either when they skipped the Sox. But, it seems like they feed off each other at ESPN BBTN. They gab to listen to themselves talk and know little about what is really happening in the game. The Sox are now 4-2 and with a little luck should have been 5-1 and even 6-0 adn all we get is dissed.
April 11, 200520 yr The level of Harold Reynold's stupidity is shocking. I could not believe it when he didn't at least throw in a ... and maybe the White Sox. The Sox already took 2 series against teams that they call "contenders." I was furious when I saw that because even though many people on here go on about how we should not care what ESPN thinks, I think most of us do. The Sox are such a forgotten team, even in their own city, that when something like this happens, it pisses me off. We crave the national respect because we don't get it on a local level. Leave the not worrying to cubs fans.

Calm down guys, Just let our boys of summer prove it out there. I gotta agree. Let the White Sox do the talking. Who cares if ESPN talks about the White Sox or not? It's not like it is a big secret that there is an East Coast bias there.

The only quote Chris Berman ever had that was worth a s*** comes into play here. "That's why they play the games"

Calm down guys, Just let our boys of summer prove it out there. I'm agreeing with you there. As much as I want the Sox to get recognition, this is alright. Let them think what they want to think, they're usually wrong in the end anyways.
