Where will the Chicago White Sox finish the 2005 season?

[CubsFan1982]

The Sux currently have the best record in baseball, but the Minnesota Twins are hot on their heels, four games back. Where will the surprising South Siders finish?

[GOPFighter]

1. Okay, I voted with my heart...

...AL Wild Card. AL Central Chapm will be the Indians.

My head, of course, knows better!

(Sigh)

[KitchenWitch]

2. LOL

What does your head tell you?

[GOPFighter]

3. 3rd place at best....

<tear forms in corner of left eye>

[JohnnyCougar]

4. The Bite Cox won't even make the playoffs.

They have no talent on their team. How are they winning????

Reality has to catch up with them sooner or later.

[KitchenWitch]

5. How do you really feel about the Southsiders???

:evilgrin:

[JohnnyCougar]

6. It's irritating

I live right across the street from Comiskey (I'm not calling it by it's corporate name), and I have to hear and see the fireworks every time they hit a home run.

I do have to say, they have had one of the easiest schedules in all of baseball so far. They have a tough August, which is when they usually fold, anyways.

[KitchenWitch]

7. I refuse to call it by the corporate name too

I either call it ComBitchkey Park, or US Bitchular Field.

I call the team the Bitch Sox (stolen from http://www.bat-girl.com )

[JohnnyCougar]

8. Ozzie Guillen sure is a bitch :)

I can't wait until Ordonez plays his first game against the Cox. I hope he hits a game winning homerun.

Ozzie Guillen was calling him a piece of shit...etc. earlier this season. To the media, as well. At least we know someone on the Tigers will be extra motivated to catch the Sox. :)

[KitchenWitch]

9. I saw that

I thought it rather unprofessional of him....that and almost the whole team saying that the last three years they had a better team than the Twins...GRRRRRRRRRRRR

[JohnnyCougar]

10. Good teams finish strong and don't choke!

But try telling that to Ozzie and his pals!

They had an awesome lineup last year. Lee, Konerko, Ordonez, Thomas for a little bit...

It just goes to show you that even with a bunch of good players, bad leadership can still bring a team down.

[Rich Hunt]

11. do you know why?

Do you know why they're called the "Bitch Sox"?

I'll vote that no, you don't.

;)

Currently 13 games up, wouldn't say anyone is "hot on their heels".

[KitchenWitch]

13. I call them the Bitch Sox

because all they could do was bitch the past three year when the Twins won the division...they carped about how they were a better team, but the Twins were "lucky".

[Rich Hunt]

14. excuse me...

It's not just you who calls them that - lots of people who hate them do.

But that's not the real reason they're called the "Bitch Sox."

Funny how wrong people have been this year, and the vituperative attitudes directed at this team, beyond all proportion, and all the memes that get parroted over and over again, even though people claim they thought them all up themselves.

Must be a reason for it.....




:think:

Nah...I'm not botherin'

[UrbScotty]

12. Considering that THE TIGERS CLOBBERED THEM tonight

I'll say no World Series.

[WeRQ4U]

15. I smell the yearly collapse.

But since they're already so far ahead of everyone else, they'll still win the division. What's great, however, is that they'll lose in the first round, regardless of who they play.

They have a great record and they have to be commended for that, but they shouldnt' scare anyone........especially without Podsednick in the lineup. He's their catalyst.

[KitchenWitch]

16. Can you say SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEP?

I love it...

[Rich Hunt]

17. congratulations

Congratulations are in order.

Yours truly,

Sox bitch

[WeRQ4U]

18. Thank you. Unlike the Sox, we NEED these games.

There are still quite a few left between the two. May the best team win.

[KitchenWitch]

19. Thank you

Your guys deserve some too, what a season so far! I would have never thought the Sox would have gotten such a jump!

[nickgutierrez]

20. A thought...

Right now, in terms of quality, the case could be made that the White Sox are maybe the sixth or seventh best team in the AL right now, behind the Red Sox, A's, Angels, Yankees, and maybe even the Indians or Twins. They're riding their early season hot streak right now, and I would be absolutely stunned if they make it past the first round come playoff time.

[WeRQ4U]

21. I would like to agree with you BUT.....

I believe that once Scott Podsednick comes back, their winning ways will continue. He's a HUGE part of their game.

[nickgutierrez]

22. He won't help that much

Maybe there's a placebo effect to be had, but their pitching just isn't as good as it was over the first four months of the season. He'll help them a little bit, but definitely not enough to propel them over the top 4 IMO.

[WeRQ4U]

23. You might be right

I've said all year that John Garland and Orlando Hernandez are not as good as their records indicate. John Garland has been pitching out of his ass all year.

[KitchenWitch]

24. Garland has been channeling last year's Johan Santana!

And he needs to stop that shit, right now!

[tcfrogs]

25. I realize he's a Cubs fan

but what happened to CubsFan1982? :shrug: I'e been gone a while, but I'm now confused.

BTW - White Sox will hold on & win the division, then get smoked in the first round of the playoffs.

[KitchenWitch]

26. I believe he got TS'd

Not sure why.

[Cadfael]

27. NA NA NA NA---NA NA NA NA....

HEY HEY HEY....GOODBYE!!:evilgrin:

[JVS]

32. hmmm

[Rich Hunt]

28. ha.

Look how many people predicted otherwise.

I love it when presumptuous egomaniacs get their comeuppance.

Someone done pulled the rug outta someone here....

Guess a lot of people lost a lot of 'bets', IYKWIM...

:evilgrin:

[GOPFighter]

29. Congrats to the Sox!

From this Indians fan. Those last three games hurt, but as it turned out, it was the Indians who chocked.

Good luck.

[mopinko]

30. so, anyone here feel stupid yet? nt

[KitchenWitch]

31. Not stupid

Wrong but not stupid.

[JohnKleeb]

33. Not a Sox fan but I have to laugh at this

hahhahahhaha. They finished higher than the Cubs for what it's worth.

[DaveinMD]

35. Is the Kleeb really back

or is this an illusion.

[JohnKleeb]

36. Been back for nearly 2 months now

[DaveinMD]

37. hope all is well

Tried to pm you but couldn't.

[JohnKleeb]

38. That's odd

All's good. Last baseball season was a cruel joke but I got over it quickly.

[DaveinMD]

39. your profile is disabled

that's why. Get it up and send me a pm so we can catch up.

[JohnKleeb]

40. Ok one PM on the way

[NJ Democrats]

34. Al Central Winners

Will lose to the Yankees whenever they face them.
