The offense was loaded, we had 3 of the best starting pitchers in the league and Damaso/Flash were absolutely unhittable aaaaand nothing. If it wasn't for 05 I'd still be super, super pissed about 03. Jose Paninagua year right? First game of a huge late series w/ the twins - he comes in - we lose - we get swept.

The only game he pitched for the White Sox and the last game he pitched in a major league uniform. I remember a lot of us were really excited about that move because it seemed like such a perfect low risk, high reward move. The Sox actually won the game he pitched in, which is commonly forgotten because it seemed to spark the Twins, and they won the next 5 games against the Sox. No matter what, 2008 was so awesome because it seemed like the Sox finally climbed and beat that hurdle of getting their asses kicked by the Twins. Then 2 years later with Kotsay and Thome and it was back to square one.

That last week 3 game sweep in the Metrodome was miserable, then a coin toss put game 163 in Chicago. No way the Sox win in Minnesota. It was great to win the division, but seemed more luck than actually finally getting past the Twins.

SS2k5, i am very disappointed to see you buying in. he was not the only one, i will speak for myself. i can't remember but i was listening as well i think. the real problem at the very beginning was 1 poster who became mod b/c he bought his way intp the site. i also blame Jason for coming in at the right time to talk about this site. it made leaving easier.
