December 9, 200619 yr I don't know, it feels odd that Freddy is gone... He won some big games for us, and was a key for the Chicago White Sox 2005 World Series Championship. Freddy, good luck in Philly!
December 9, 200619 yr Without him, we never win the WS in '05. That team was so special, because everybody did something that cannot be forgotten to help lead them to the promise land. I will never foget game four Freddy, bases loaded and you got out of it.
December 9, 200619 yr I hated him in 06 but cant deny his contributions to the team in 05 season and post-season... that game 4 was a masterpiece.

Can Garcia rise up?
December 9, 200619 yr Thanks, Freddy, for everything 2005 meant to all of us. I liked Jayson Stark's take on the trade. Last year it felt like we were just adding something on top of the old team. This seems to be a much bigger change. I like the change, but it's still strange watching one of the big pieces leave.
December 9, 200619 yr Props to Steve for creating this thread. Say what you want, but the guy won 41 games in his 2 1/2 years (not including his remarkable posteason) with the Sox. He took the ball every 5th day and, for the most part, gave us a chance to win everytime out. Freddy will indeed be missed. Have fun dominating the pathetic crap that is the NL. Edit: Oh, and I'll never forget the game he threw against the Twins in August (I think) of '05. One of the top 3 or 4 pitching performances I've ever seen from a White Sox pitcher.

Heck of a job, Freddy. I agree, say what you will about his first inning troubles, he did a hell of a job in his time here. Here's to maybe seeing you again sometime down the road, old friend.
December 9, 200619 yr i'm gonna miss any pitcher that wins the clinching game of the world series. Good luck freddymeister.
December 9, 200619 yr Thank You Freddy for that memorable October evening in Houston, Texas. "And that's a White Sox winner and a World Championship!!" Best of luck with Philadelphia. You have only been with the Phillies a couple of days and already we miss you!! !! Thanks for the memories.
December 9, 200619 yr I was there for his four-outs-from perfect game. Easy to admire, easy to hate on, but there was no '05 without Sweaty Freddy.
December 9, 200619 yr He was one of KW's better acquisitions, and I wish him all the best in Philly. Will be interesting to see what type of deal he gets in FA next off-season.
December 9, 200619 yr Thanks Freddie, you were awesome. Even in a bad year you toss consecutive one hitters for the first time in franchise history. Amazing stuff. So many wanted you gone even though you won 17. I guess it's time for Brandon. I hope he can do the job. Good luck Freddie.
December 9, 200619 yr QUOTE(sox-r-us @ Dec 9, 2006 -> 01:46 AM) Anyone miss Miguel Olivo? I'd love to have him as a backup.
December 9, 200619 yr QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Dec 9, 2006 -> 07:52 AM) I'd love to have him as a backup. And I would love to have the WS ring thanks to Freddie And some of you guys think the White Sox management think small?
