One of two things will happen from here on out.

 

Either:

 

1. The White Sox will make the playoffs.

 

2. The White Sox will be participants in one of the largest chokes of all time.

 

Now, if the first happens, I think we'll all be pleased. If the second happens, while we'll all be upset, we'll have ourselves a nice little tale to tell our grandchildren. Plus, more women (and men) will feel sorry for us and we will get laid more often. Trust me. That'll work as a pickup line. As long as you use puppy-dog eyes.

 

Also, even if the second horrific scenario occurs, we're still in a lot better shape than a lot of us thought going into the season. I mean, here's a team that I HOPED would contend with the Twins for the AL Central. The Wild Card was out of the question, but I was hoping we'd keep it close with those damn Twinkies. And look what happened? We had a team that had one hell of a first half and then kind of slowed down and got tired towards the end.

 

The bright side is that, we have a TON of the same players coming back next year. And with Kenny at the helm, this team could only get better. He's built a nice team for a good 3-5 year run at the playoffs. This is year ... oh, we'll say 2. We still got three left, ladies and gentlemen.

 

If it doesn't happen this year, don't fret. Our rotation is probably going to be even better next year. And hell, maybe we'll even get some bats.

 

In conclusion, I'm drunk.

Here here! I posted something similar, minus the getting laid part, in the "If we miss the post-season..." thread.

That explains your entire post.

i have to agree with you. even if we do choke, i know that it nor anything else will diminish the entensity with which i support the white sox.
