You're right. It is completely silly.

This is one of the dumbest things I have ever read. I award you no points and may god have mercy on your soul.

I would enjoy watching, of course, but, in my opinion, it would be a complete slap in the face to that historic 2005 team.

On the other hand, for that same reason, Packer fans should have felt the same way about last year, but I sense none of that - probably preserved honor by persevering through the numerous injuries. Still not a pimple on the hiney of the Favre Title Team, though.

Boston fans probably didn't mind the second one, either, but BOTH of them are tainted now that we know what we know about Manny, and what we think we know about Papi.

Now THAT is a tainted title!

They didn't need those "breaks" though. They steamrolled through the playoffs.

Steve's post might be the dumbest thing I have ever read in this forum. Has there ever been a team that won a World Series without some things going its way? The Sox were FAR AND AWAY the best team in baseball in 2005.

I think it's particularly amusing that he points out A.J. taking advantage of the rules as they are written since I'm sure he's aware that the only reason the Cubs won their last championship was because an umpire suddenly decided to enforce a rule contrary to custom on the advice of Johnny Evers.

Not to mention that he referenced an error as a break. I wonder if he thinks that it was a break when the other team struck out or a pitcher threw a bad pitch too.

David Wells was DEALIN in that game ( I was there). It looked like the series was going to be evened when....ohhhh, Graffinino makes an error on an easy grounder....up steps Iguchi who hits a 3-run homer. He never gets to bat with those runners on base if not for the error. It was a huge turning point in the game. If the series had gone to 1-1 rather than 2-0, things may have gone differently.

If David Wells was DEALIN why did he give up a homer to an average player like Iguchi?

I'm pretty sure that the White Sox had errors in the playoffs too.

The Sox outscored their opponents 67-34 in the '05 postseason. Wasn't that dominating enough for you, Steve? :lol:

At least the Cubs didn't need any breaks. They achieved it all on their own.

Meh, until I see each player's WAR as compared to the other playoff teams rosters, the run differential means nothing.

This thread reminds me that if I could pick one sports championship to undo, it's still this one.
