I know I have read and heard about what a POS team the 2006 Sox team was after the WS title in 2005. Mostly from Cub fans and the like just giving us grief that we did not repeat.

Now I want to make clear I put this in the Sox section for Sox fans. They did win 90 games that following year correct?

Yes. They were a juggernaut in the first half of the season but fell apart in the second half.

That pitching staff was gassed after the all star break. And still, it took a huge Minnesota hot streak to jump them.

Was Vazquez here already? I remember Garland just being atrocious in August and September and Sweaty Freddy in about the same shape.

Yeah he came over in the offseason before.

I'm just trying to repress my memories of his time here. It just pisses me off.

Fucking Brian Anderson. Double fuck him with a broken bat handle.

He was good the next year...when we didn't need him...

1

1 playoff appearance in the past decade now..congrats...you are as relevant in this City as the Chicago Bears or Rosemont Bandits.

Sox and Cubs are equal in my lifetime. Neither franchise has much to brag about imho. Cubs this year are blessed to be in the worst division in baseball otherwise I doubt they would make playoffs(Cubs would have gotten their asses kicked if they payed like this in the AL Central in 2006). Does anyone here actually think the Cubs will go 59-38 the rest of the way to win 90 games.? I don't. Lesson to cub fans. Don't count your championships before you have actually won them.

They are talking on the score this morning about the job Maddon is doing this year. Is there any doubt Ozzie would be getting torched by the fans and media if he was doing this crap with the Cubs? The lineup stuff alone would have him on the train out of town.

You're missing Mike's point. The point is that if a manager on the same footing in this city for the other team (in this case, 2005 World Series Winning Manager Ozzie Guillen) were making the same constant lineup juggling bullshit moves, or in some cases, not making moves that needed to be made, he would be getting torched by the media in this town that is currently too busy sucking off Clark the Cub to notice that this team isn't nearly as dominant and their flaws are showing this year.

One manager is white and the other was a minority.

Contreras wore down and Vazquez blew down the stretch pitching on short rest.

Wilted in the run up to the 08 playoffs, too.

Do I have to go over again how the Cubs are perhaps the least relevant major sports franchise in the city of Chicago?

First comes the realization that the mundane 2016 can never match up to the dominant 2005, now this.

They are talking on the score this morning about the job Maddon is doing this year. Is there any doubt Ozzie would be getting torched by the fans and media if he was doing this crap with the Cubs? The lineup stuff alone would have him on the train out of town.
