White Sox Winner!!!

Two out of three from the Twinkies on the road. We'll take it. The first base ump tried to give it away in the 9th, but the Sox came back and whipped Crain in the 10th for the win.

For those of you still holding out hope in the AL Central -- the race is over. I wish the Twins and Tribe luck in the wild card race though.

the white sox winnign a series (or the whole WS) has less to do with theier starting pitching and more to do with how lucky they are (bloop hits, fly balls that stay in the park, streakiness of hitters)

That goes for every team, some have a better chance to win than others (Stl>Chicago>SD etc) but when 'good' teams play a short series, variance rules supreme.

Lucky? That's ridiculous. Absolutely pathetic. You seemed smarter than this. Bloop hits? Don't comment on things you don't know about.

You don't think variance plays a huge part in the playoffs? Since you are so convinced that the White Sox have not gotten very lucky throughout the whole season, lets place a bet on whether they will even win a series. I think they will not win a series in the post season; whether they play Boston, Anaheim, New York Yankees, or Oakland in the first round. You name the amount. I will do anything $150 or less. And at this point I will do even money. But, the longer we wait, the less likely I will be willing to do this (because the longer the season goes on, the more likely it will be they will be a favorite..unless they play Boston or NYY..then they will be dogs..with or without the HFA).

The only people who think the Sox have a chance in the postseason are Sox fans.

This is true for some stupid reason. Our pitching alone will win the first series even if the bats don't show up. I bet if we picked up Griffey Jr. we would all the sudden be given credit for being a contender even though he wouldn't make that much of a difference in the line up.
