Just to alleviate the 3 losses in a row, how about we all talk about our favorite teams of the past.

 

Mine would have to be that 2000 club. No team have I ever loved so much. The team I thought had the most talent....2 yrs club with Colon,Elo and Buehrle...WOWZERS that was a staff.

As of right now I got to say the 2000 team but I'm definitely falling in love with this years team though. I can't stand to think of that 03 team, it still hurts me. If they got in the playoffs they would have been playing the Marlins in the world series.

I loooooooved that 2000 pitching staff....our best pitcher was Sirotka who went 13-13 but we still we RAW!

 

Sirotka

Baldwin

Parque

Eldred

Wells

 

Featuring the Milk-Man Herbert Perry, Chris Singleton, THE OLD Frank Thomas, the (then un-snobby) Magglio Ordonez, and the one and ONLY Mark L. Johnson..........brings tears to my eyes!

I still love the '93 team. Black Jack, Fernandez, Alvarez, Hernandez, One Dog, Rock, Cora, Ventura, Frank, etc.

 

I definitely didn't have my understanding of the sport, as I do now, but that's still the most fun I had watching a team.

93-94 team, no contest. Excellent staff and a lot of guys I liked in the lineup. Frank was the man back then. God I miss those days.

 

If I were alive back then it'd probably be the 1917-1919 crew though. They were loaded, some called them the best team they'd ever seen. They had 3 hall of famers from that team (Collins, Shalk, and Faber) even though most of their stars were banned for life. Happy Felsch was pretty good, and Cicotte and Jackson were two of the best in the league. Weaver and Williams were pretty solid too.

I'm relatively young, but I loved that 2003 team. Colon-Buehrle-E-Lo, with Flash and Marte at the back of the bullpen. Thomas, Maggs, Lee, Konerko. I know the Maggs situation has gone to hell, but we were lucky to have those two corner OF'ers...

Like someone else said, 2000, but I'm really liking this team so far.

Gotta love the '83 team.

 

They were like a beer softball league team.

 

Kittle and his towering HRs (800 ft in the air but barely over the fence).

 

A healthy Baines in RF with a gun for an arm.

 

Law and Cruz burning up the basepaths.

 

Luzinski whammin' 30+ HRs whilst eating a sammich.

 

Fisk - the free agent steal from Boston, a regular on the All-Star team.

 

Hoyt (pre coke), Bannister, Dotson & Burns, a top 5 SP group.

 

Then Agosto and Lamp to close it out.

 

99-63, baby.

My first concious memory is watching the '93 sox ... how could i not love them the most?

 

But go '05 sox i

The first Sox team to finish in first place in my memory ... the 1983 "Winning Ugly" White Sox.

Has to be 2000

 

Of course, the team I have hated the most was the 2003 team. I loved them until I saw the Twins showering themselves in champaign.

 

So much talent, so good, and they choked. That team was a World Series team, and I say that with no second thoughts and no doubt in my mind. They probably would have just cruised through the playoffs. 8-11 against a team that lost 119 games, lost like 3 1-0 games that ELo started, and won like 1 game from the 5th starter spot all year long.

 

Those 3 factors killed us.

Just another failed team, in my opinion.

That may be so to you...but I have not watched years of Sox baseball either. When I see a team that talented in it till about September 15th, give or take, and then to lose it the way they did hurt a hell of a lot.

My favorite was the 1972 team.

I was 9 years old, and that team was so much fun to watch.

Dick Allen, Bill Melton, Wilbur Wood, Goose Gossage, Terry Forster, Jorge Orta, Carlos May....ahhhh, the memories....

In MYYYYY DAAAYYYYYY, we used to get coupons from our school for free Sox tickets for perfect attendance or straight A's. ( Guess which one I was??? YEP, perfect attendance! ) So I went to a few games for free that year, can't beat that!

 

A close second was the 1983 team. That team just caught fire! Started rolling and no one could stop them.....except those damn Baltimore Orioles.... Tito Landrum..... :banghead

93-94 would be my favorite. Thats how I became a Sox fan. When I first started following MLB at 7 or 8 years old. I picked the Sox as my favoite team mainly because of Frank Thomas, THE best player in the league.

 

My favorite Sox team that I could remember well was definitely 2000.

'94 team. It was a fun season. Thomas and Franco were tearing it up that year. It MAY have been the year. We'll never know. It made the strike hurt even more.

I've got to say the 93-94 team because although I knew of the sox up to that point that was the year that I feel in love with them and became a diehard sox fan.

1999.

 

hey, the kids can play, thats when I started watching baseball.

 

2000.

 

Amazing season.

1983

2000

1977

1990

The 03 team once we got going was both probably my favorite and yet most frustrating team because I really felt with Buehrle-Colon-Loaiza that we were built to win a WS if we got in the playoffs
