lol@ the 2005 team being the best of all time.

I'm not sure they're the best -- although I don't dismiss it -- but I'm more than happy and willing to say that the White Sox put up the most dominant playoff run ever. The numbers, the situations, speak for themselves.

lol@ the 2005 team being the best of all time.

Can someone please provide a legit argument on why not?

 

 

There is no definite number one, probably the best way to do it group into a collection of 5 or 6 teams. The 05 team definitly belong there.

how about the 98 Yankees?

 

they won 15 more regular season games and went 11-2 in the playoffs. thats the best team in recent memory

 

 

 

Lets not let our love for the Sox get in the way of what teams are probably the best of all time.

The best thing about the 2005 White Sox is that they finished the deal. Look at the 2006 Tigers as an example. While last year kinda sucked, you can't take away 2005, ever.

I think the 05 team was actually better then we may give credit for, and the near-choke at the end clouds that judgement. Recall that before the late season injuries and the rest-the-starters management, the record the Sox had was flat out gaudy. They were darn near .700 ball most of the season. Then, after they got their act together they re-assumed that dominance at the end of the regular season and through the playoffs. I submit the late season swoon was not the real Sox. The real Sox were not a mere 99 win team. Granted, 162 games make a season so you can't enthrone them the best ever, but just looking at the talent on the team, it was remarkable, and at its best, it could hold its own with any team in history.
