  1. The SOX played 162 regular season games in 1967. They finished with a 92-70 record. The American League went to a 162 game schedule in 1961. The National League went to 162 games in 1962.
  2. I believe that this year's version of the SOX had more obvious problems than the '67 version. This year's team also won more PO games than the '67 team. So I'll stick with my opinion that this team did more with less than any SOX team in my memory. Btw, both this year's team and the '67 team won 92 games during the regular season.
  3. Sorry for the confusion. I was referring to those occasions when SOX pitchers did pitch well.
  4. True, but they did pick up some BP help at the trade deadline. Much more than the SOX did. Barnes imploding in the 2nd half had a lot to do with the SOX BP struggles, obviously.
  5. Yup. Cheating will be on one's resume forever.
  6. His involvement in the Astros' cheating may affect Cora's chance of MOY. Not fair, but it probably will.
  7. Makes me wonder how many teams in recent history got to the LCS and still needed to fix as many holes as the SOX will have to before next season. This 2021 version of the SOX overachieved and I thank them for that.
  8. IMHO, this SOX team did more with less than any SOX team I can remember.
  9. The SOX took 'nowhere' further than it's ever been.
  10. It's amazing what a couple of fans on this thread post. When SOX pitchers hold the opposition to 2 runs or less(very rare) these few fans post "what a great job our pitching staff did." When the opposition's pitcher holds the SOX to 2 runs or less, they post "our hitters really suck." To them only great pitching can come from the SOX.
  11. Hope Bloom can re-sign Iggy. Schwarber, also, but that seems unlikely because I doubt that JD opts out or that the SOX can trade him w/o eating a big chunk of his contract. Oh, well, que sera, sera.
  12. When I don't post 'DEVERS DEliVERS,' that's usually a bad day or night for the SOX.
  13. See ya next season, MOON. You're living proof that SOX fans are the smartest.
  14. They also deteriorated as the BP got worse and worse.
  15. See ya, Jackson. You're not the worst Yankem fan I've ever met. I will credit you on one thing; you have mastered the art of condescending posts.
  16. I don't know. I'd love to see JD batting with his robotic swing and having a robo ump calling the balls and strikes.
  17. f*** Dusty. His young son almost got run over in a PO game. He's baseball smart, but a moron in normal life.
  18. I'll be watching hockey. Baseball for this year ended for me tonight. I'm not even sure I like baseball that much, because 99% of the games I watch are SOX games.
  19. 'Meh?' You stealing from MAX now?
  20. Seeing as how most of these guys are multi-millionaires,I doubt it. Most of the 'sour taste' will be in the mouth of fans who don't understand that the better team won.
  21. I would trade him for a quality pitcher in a New York minute.
  22. It usually comes down to pitching and defense.. If a team doesn't have it, they're screwed.
  23. At least Perez has been consistent.
  24. What it comes down to is that the SOX "didn't score early and often." That has to be the fault of Cora. Bloom will notice this complete failure by Cora and he will fire Cora. I'm 100% positive that Cora told his batters to score 'early and often.' I personally blame it on a 'failure to communicate.'
  25. The SOX went as far as they could go with what they had. They went further than anyone here thought they would and I enjoyed every minute of it. Would I have liked to have seen them go further? Of course. All I can tell you, Tyler, is to perhaps take a chill pill.
