I'm sure Pods would be happy enough just to be back. Maybe he'll take 21 or something, who knows.

Why don't we stop sucking off that 2005 team?

 

Why stop?? They won a frickin championship!

Why don't we stop sucking off that 2005 team?

Seriously. I appreciate what they did in 2005 but I'm not buying into the eternal admiration we're supposed to show for these players. Maybe it's because they won a World Series when I was 18 so I don't qualify as a "long suffering" Sox fan but I'm not going to suck off each player who contributed to a win or had a big hit in '05. The return of an '05 "hero" now past his prime and looking to keep his career alive via minor league deals doesn't get me all giggly. He was a good player for us for the majority of the 2005 season and he's had a decent major league career outside of that year but he's really not any damn good these days, if it were up to me he could have any number that's not currently taken or #47.

I understand all of you who think Pods should not be given 22 back.

 

However, he is a huge part of this franchise. I'd be shocked if Fields didn't offer the number back or offer to switch back to #27.

One of the most important homers in sox history. Its his number

Chills, everytime.

You guys need to let the Pods World Series memories go.

No.

No.

Why not give Pods 77?

 

He's going to need all the luck he can get to stay in MLB.

No.

 

you are f***ing awesome. I agree 100%

If Josh wants to be a decent caring individual ( for a price) then by all means Josh offer Pods the number. If Pods wants to be a decent caring individual he will say" No thanks Josh I'm just happy I still have any number on my back."

Josh was raking in 2007 when had the number 27. I was actually surprised he didnt go back to it considering his injury plagued 2008 season, but he's hitting now so there goes the superstitions.

Pods should get 86.

Danman- The best answers are the shortest. Yours is the best.

CalisoxFan- You understand.

Josh should keep it. Screw Pods.

Fields can take #7, It would look better on him then Jerry Owens. Pods in 22.

So Josh, a member of the team from opening day, should give the guy the signed to a minor league deal, his number? this wasn't a free agent situation where you trade for the grizzled vet to make one last run, this is pods. josh can offer but pods should not expect or accept, he's now a guy without a team and signing a minor league deal, take the number you're given.

We should have Podsednik wear #91 so we can remember two-thirds of the phone number we're supposed to call when his groin eventually becomes injured

Timo!

Realize that Pods was also signed to a minor league contract and Owens was brought up. Who's to say Pods even gets to the Bigs.

 

welcome

 

i dont think the players put too much stock in their numbers unless they have had the same for like 5 or more years. If pods gets 22 then all the fans with those jerseys could become relevant again. until scottie has to make a catch up against the fence. yikes

Owens is absolutely horrendous. It can't be too long until we see Pods.

I can only speak for myself, but I'll suck that team off until the day I die. Does another 9 decades have to go by before some can truly appreciate how extraterrestrial that year was? We're not the Yankees or Red Sox or Lakers or Steelers or Red Wings. Going by our history, there's a good chance no currently living White Sox fan will ever again feel the unequaled joy that came from witnessing the team you put your heart, sweat, blood, tears, soul, ect into hold that trophy. Ask any Cub fan (the non-retarded ones) what they'd give for that one magical moment.

 

Yes, I realize that arguing Fields should give up his number for Pods should he get called up is complete nonsense. I'm more or less referring to those that consistently bash those who probably do overrate players from that team. My point is that when you really think about it, it's understandable.

Best case scenario: Fields offers, Pods declines.

I can't believe I just read over 3 pages of people arguing about what damn number Scott Podsednik might wear if he possibly gets called up.

I get the feeling that people who ask us to forget 2005 and the players of 2005 weren't there to enjoy it...

 

...were too young to understand or appreciate that a lot of us waited 10, 20, or 30+ years for it (if not more)...

 

...or hadn't jumped the bandwagon because it wasn't 2006 yet...

 

Whatever the case may be, let me not be the first, but one of the many that was there to enjoy every second of it, who was old enough to understand it, and had gone through enough losing to appreciate it...that tells you to f*** off and die in a fire the likes of Hell on Earth.

 

2005
