I will be rooting for the White Sox
 

As many of you may know, neither of my two favorite teams made it to the WS this year. Thus, in order to remain super interested to this years WS, I am going to emotionaly invest myself into the Chicago White Sox. I really [censored] hope they win, and if they don't I will be severely pissed for 1 hour.

I am doing this partly because I think this series will be close, and in particular pitching wise. Secondly, I am doing this because I hate the Astros. So this seems to be the perfect match. The games will mean more to me, and I have a team to root for. If someone asks me if I am a White Sox fan, I will say, "hell yeah, for about the past 2 days, GO SOX". Yes, that is correct, I will straight up say I am not a true fan.


I am really looking forward to this WS, and GO SOX!

me too.

i heard somewhere the odds on 2 teams winning in 1917 & 18 and again in 2004 & 05 without either of them winning in the meantime was 18 million to 1. as a gambler i love to see that sort of longshot come in.

Really, you needed to start an entire thread to tell us that you've become a fairweather White Sox fan? COOL!!!!

[/ QUOTE ]No, I will not be saying I am a fairweather fan, you misread my post.

You would.

GoT

I'm on the train. All for Frank Thomas. He needs a ring.

Astros Will Win
 

The White Sox starting pitchers are good, but the Astros' are great. Clemens and Pettitte have had their best years and Oswalt is throwing great. I like the Astros in six.

Then again, most people who bet sports like to ask me who I like and then go the other way. With success.

So bet the Sox.

[/ QUOTE ]dude, [censored] Baggs, that steroid freak. Biggio deserves it though. Also, [censored] The Big Hurt. His name should be the Big Pussy.

Re: I will be rooting for the White Sox
 

Bet on em too, that will make it more 'emotional'.

Re: I will be rooting for the White Sox
 

as a Red Sox Nation resident, I am also rooting for the ChiSox, but mostly so I can say "We were beatin' by the best, son" ala the Carnival Grifters episode of the Simpson's.

So you know for a fact that both Bagwell did steroids, and Biggio did not?

LOL.

Biggio deserves a ring far more than Frank Thomas, though. He's a poster boy for aspiring little-leaguers everywhere. Thomas does deserve a ring though. He's gone through some lean years in Chicago, yet stayed around there his whole career.

I know, that's why it was hard. However, assuming Rocket/Pettite/Oswalt/Lidge don't die over the offseason, I think they'll have a better chance of getting back to the WS next year. Thomas is all but out in Chicago, especially if they can't resign Konerko.

Of couse, I know absolutely nothing about the Astro's contracts so I might be completely wrong in my assumptions. I'd rather not be corrected though, as I don't want to have to think about this again.

I love Frank Thomas, and I range from ambivalent to hatred for the other sox. I'm not an Astros fan but I really respect them because we sure as hell have history with them.

Re: I will be rooting for the White Sox
 

Whew. Glad I found this out now I can start the weekend!

FWIW. Keep it in the AL baby!

Re: I will be rooting for the White Sox
 

Im just wondering why everyone is accusing Baggs of Steroid use, I never heard much about it until we made it this far.

Is it just because he is injured this year? God forbid he get hurt the year after they start more stringent steroid abuse.

Just wondering if this is general consensus, or more stros bashing from guys bitter because their teams are working on their long drive.

Re: I will be rooting for the White Sox
 

I, too, will be a major Sox fan for the next two weeks, so that I can take extreme pleasure in the anguish and pain coursing through K Steel's soul.

I hope he cries.

Re: I will be rooting for the White Sox
 

I won't.
