October 4, 200520 yr One of the hosts mentioned that the last 3 times the White Sox were eliminated in the playoffs, John Olerud was on the other team. He now plays for the Red Sox.

October 4, 200520 yr Last 3 times? I count two...93 and 2000. Pretty sure Johnny would be fairly old if he beat us back in 83.

Yeah, I checked baseball-reference, and it was the last 2. They were probably getting ahead of themselves and counting THIS year as well. :finger Edited October 4, 200520 yr by Big Hurtin

He now plays for the Red Sox. The last 3 times? That can't be right. 1993 and 2000 are OK, but he wasn't playing in 1983.

October 4, 200520 yr I don't belive that Olerud will be the main focus of the WSox in this series. I'm thinking that the LF and DH will be more of a concern.

October 4, 200520 yr Relax, it's the Rickey Henderson factor, not the John Olerud factor.... Rickey says "John Olerud ain't gonna beat the White Sox. No, if you wanna beat the White Sox you need Rickey. But Rickey ain't playing, so the White Sox be winning"
