May 19, 200916 yr QUOTE (knightni @ May 19, 2009 -> 11:05 AM) A good chance for you younger guys to see Old Comiskey Park. Tito f***ing Landrum. To this day that remains one of the most depressing moments for me as a Sox fan. That team would have won the world series. I have no doubts.

They couldn't hit for crap in the postseason and Kittle would've been out for the remainder with back problems. It's still sad that Brit Burns pitched the game of his life and the vaunted Sox offense responded with a goose egg. Reminds me of some of the recent Sox teams.

May 19, 200916 yr Britt Burns pitched a heck of a game. He went into the 10th before losing it. I have the game set to record on DVR so I'll watch it this weekend. I remember the announcer saying-when they took out Britt in the 10th- "hold your head up son you did a terrific job." Edited May 19, 200916 yr by elrockinMT
May 19, 200916 yr i'd like to watch it again, because if memory serves me right there were a couple of times the Sox had runners on and no outs and got squat. I know there was a runner thrown out at the plate (Law?). The Sox definitely had their chances in that game.

May 19, 200916 yr Author QUOTE (Wanne @ May 19, 2009 -> 06:12 PM) Is this the game with the incredible Jerry Dybzinski baserunning brain fart? Yep. In the 1983 American League Championship Series against the Baltimore Orioles, Dybzinski committed a baserunning error in game four (overrunning second base while third base was already occupied by Vance Law) that ultimately cost the White Sox the game and series.
May 20, 200916 yr QUOTE (knightni @ May 19, 2009 -> 06:03 PM) Yep. Watching that game back then was bad enough,don't want to relive the fustration I felt as a kid watching my team go down.
May 20, 200916 yr QUOTE (WSoxMatt @ May 20, 2009 -> 06:12 AM) Comiskey Park had a ton of space behind the plate and the backstop IMO, Old Comiskey had the best upper deck seats of any ballpark I've been to. You were literally right on top of the action.
