Re: White Sox Winner!!!
I was secretly hoping that the Griffey trade would go through before tonight- headed to the Safe to see the King pitch tonight.
I really hope he gets back in the American League soon- being able to DH a couple days a week would lessen the wear and tear and give him a shot at 700 HRs.

[/ QUOTE ] I live in Chicago, so I don't get to watch a lot of west coast baseball. When the M's were in Chicago a couple of weeks ago we missed Felix. I'm looking forward to watching him tonight. I've heard a lot about him, but have yet to see him live.

[/ QUOTE ] 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). craig

I just have a hard time believing that a team that has won 77 games, has the best record in the AL by 5 1/2 games, and until just this past week had the best record in baseball isn't good -- they're just lucky. That's B.S. In my opinion it comes from "experts" that are having a hard time explaining why their predictions aren't being realized and fans that are having a hard time figuring out why their teams aren't running away with it. I'm not betting -- as a Chicago White Sox fan, I've been conditioned to be disappointed for my entire life. I was disappointed in what sublime wrote because up until this point I actually thought he knew what he was talking about. But he pulled "lucky" and " bloop hits" out of his ass like he knew, and it's just not true. The Sox haven't won many games they haven't deserved to win -- that's not lucky. In yesterday's game against the Twins there wasn't much doubt they were going to win that game in the 10th -- they scorched just about every ball Crain through in the 9th and 10th -- not a bloop in the bunch. I don't know if they're going to win or not -- I do know they're built to be successful in the postseason, and they have a greater chance of doing something in the Playoffs than any year since 1983. If they don't make it to the series I'm going to be disappointed, but not because it just proves they were lucky to get there. Because I think they're good enough to win. The fact that nobody is giving them any respect is nothing short of a joke. There isn't a team in the AL that has them overmatched. Period. They have the best record in the AL, and it's not even close. And that's because they're good -- not lucky.
