And now it's officially the 5 year anniversary of the best day ever.

5 years ago today the Chicago White Sox ended a 87-year World Series drought. The White Sox defeated the Astros 1-0, in what was a 4-game sweep, and completed one of the most dominating post-season runs ever as the Sox went 11-1, lead by historic pitching performances. Don't Stop Believing!!

I could name every person in that dorm room with me, the first person I hugged and the exact phone call to my dad.

 

I want more championships. The future is somewhat bleek....

No it isn't. Well, I don't think so. The future looks bleaker (is that a word?) for our crosstown rivals on the north side.

 

 

Sure, things aren't perfect, and we have a lot of holes and work to do in the off season. But I wouldn't say things are BLEAK. We won 88 games last year with out our ace and without a DH. There's a good chance that things could fall into place next year, and we could have something special again.

 

I mean, who predicted what happened in 2005 before it happened?

It was early this morning on ESPN Classic, i woke up at 6 to a tornado warning and once it passed, started flipping through channels and watched the game from the fifth inning. I'll never get bored when it comes to re-watching that series

My girlfriend bought me the entire 2005 World Series on DVD a few years ago. It is the best gift I've ever gotten in my adult life. It's unbelieveable how much mileage I get out of those DVDs.

 

Man, I want the Sox to be good like that again.

Hoping our next World Series win will be soon.

Over it.

I remember driving back to Corsicana, Texas right after the game since I had to be at work around 7am in the morning the next day. Wound up getting about 2 or 3 hours of sleep but it was worth it.

That's like saying a 99-year-old man with pancreatic cancer has a bleaker future than you. Not saying much.

Can't believe it has been 5 years. In a way it feels so long ago, but also like it just happened yesterday...heres to getting another ring SOON!

Sox need to fix the schzophrenic nature of the team. Can't hit .150 the first six weeks. Can't have bullpen-s***tiness the second half of the season. Can't have starters be ultra studly for a stretch, then s***.

Cut the shizo, Ozzie. Let's settle down.

88 wins is damn good. Sometimes I wonder how the frick we won that many with that team.

You answered your own question.

In a second I would take the Cub roster and farm system over ours right now.

Their 25 man roster? Yikes, absolutely not. I would easily take their farm system over ours, since ours is one of the worst in baseball. That's why the future is pretty bleak to me.

That sounds great, but I am guessing every single team in baseball does that over a 162 game stretch. No team has perfectly semetrical seasons. For every hot streak, there is going to be a slow streak.

I was in some dumbass training in Kentucky... ugh

 

I remember being up late though (late for me cuz I was waking up at 4:30) and seeing the final score was 1-0, and then suddenly getting a s***load of texts.

True. I don't follow the other teams as closely as the Sox.

But don't you agree our team plays wildly extremist baseball. We were either unstoppable or putrid.

I don't really think the last 11 games matter much. We were out of it and for some reason ended 9-2.
