valponick Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 I always read "meltdown" threads on this board and I try to tell myself that I'll never let it get to that point. Well I want to make it clear that I'm not melting down, jumping off the wagon, bailing out, jumping s***, etc. I'm 24 years old, this has been the best season of White Sox baseball in my young life. I have been to 24 games this year, living and dying with the 9 Pale Hose on the field on each and every given night. This being said, right now I am having such a hard time just being a fan. It isn't because I'm pissed at Ozzie or the offense or the pitching, it's because when I watch this team I don't feel any energy, I don't feel like they have any heart. Tonight I saw glimpses of what was a great team but in the end they couldn't hold on like they were at the beginning of the year. All I want is to be in the playoffs, no matter if it is by winning the division or via the wild card. This isn't meant to be a post to stir anything up, or to say how bad the sox are playing right now, I'm just frustrated right now, just trying to hold on to the hope that this team can find whatever it is they lost and pull it together for the last 13 games.

This team is not giving up. That should be obvious. If this were any of the last few years you would've NEVER seen a comeback like you saw tonight. Look, Cleveland is red hot right now. Lights out. The Sox will have to battle to beat them the next two games. They will. Count on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn12 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 MLB best 33-11 since the ASB, this Cleveland team is. I don't have to tell you, that is a 75% clip. They are playing the best baseball in teh majors right now, unfortunately we happen to be in the same division, trying to fend them off.

I do understand that, but what I struggle with is this team is better than a .500 team, which is what they've been the last two month. I will continue to believe in these players until they are mathematically out of it, which I don't think will happen. I have playoff tickets to every game they would play, I just want to see them there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
