HuskyCaucasian Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I am not trying to jump the gun and ASSUME we are going to make the playoffs, but I got to thinking yesterday afternoon.... when was the last time the White Sox an Cubs were in the playoffs in the same year? I couldn't think of anytime in my lifetime (25 years), but I figured that had to be one year in the last 50. I was wrong. The last time the Chicago White Sox and Chicago Cubs were in the playoffs in the same year was... 1906, the year they met in the World Series with the White Sox winning 4 games to 2.

iamshack Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I don't want to jump the gun either, but lets just say that I am not too happy that I had to move to Vegas this Summer. Chicago is about to get really, really crazy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rventura23 Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Yeah, thats a pretty sad statement about both teams regular season success Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 (edited) This will be an October like no other (assuming we get there of course). Edited September 20, 2008 by Jordan4life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodAsGould Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Unless whitesox shape up this last week and hopefully get a boost from Quentins return for playoffs, we arent going to be playing in October very long anyways. Although, I hope we do play the Rays because we should have won a lot of the games that we lost vs them. Their ace usually can go only 5 innings and I think we can put some runs up vs Shields and the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeSox Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 FWIW, there wasn't really a "playoffs" in 1906, since you just went straight to the World Series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 First time ever they will have both won a title in the same season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 It sure would be awesome. Too bad the White Sox didn't realize that tonight they pretty much could have wrapped it up. Eventually these blown opportunities are going to show ... like when Minnesota's fans start cheering from the first pitch on in the Sox-Twinks series. This was a huge opportunity missed tonight. Both the Sox and Cubs in playoffs would be monumental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a huge opportunity missed tonight. uh, tonight would have been huge and all, but it wouldn't have wrapped up anything. Nothing will be wrapped up until that series in Minnesota is over, and maybe not even then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaSoxxJim Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 My 10-year old daughter is awesome. She called Papa (my Dad), a Southside White Sox Hardcore if ever there was one, and started up a conservation about the Sox and Cubs possibly meeting in the WS. papa told her the last time that happened was 102 years ago. Without missing a beat, and giving me a wry smile, my kid asks Papa in a straight deadpan manner, what that 1906 series was like. :lolhitting I saw what she did there. :headbang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
