Caller Bobaooey is very jealous of the White Sox!

Black Jack calling out the 80s white Sox for cheating.

Of all the pro-athletes I've met, he was probably the biggest asshole. And this was to a group of kids in the early 90s.

he acted like some brooding artist who considered baseball a way to pay the bills on the side

He should've used some of that pent up anger against the Jays in the ALCS when he got rocked. just like when Sattle rocked his ass two years later.

I still think that Bere & Alvarez should've been the games 1 & 2 starters. BlackJack was a horse yeah, but only ready for the glue factory by September of that year.

Fun Fact. Lance Johnson became the first player in MLB history to hit zero regular season home runs, then hit a postseason home run.

The second time it happened? Scott Podsednik, 2005.

Well, Johnson hit over .300 in that 1993 season, and I think he had like 12 triples. His hitting alone would have shown up as a positive somewhere on an analytic sheet.

Pods is different, but anybody who watched any Sox games in the first part of 2005 knew what he meant to that lineup. If he got on base, it was as good as a run at least half the time as he would steal second, got to 3rd on an Iguchi bunt or ground ball, then get knocked in by Everett or Konerko. MANY times the Sox were up 1-0 three batters into the game. I think he had 4 steals in a game three or four times during the early part of the year. He was nearly unstoppable on the bases. He wasn't the same after hig leg injury about 2/3 through the season. What he brought to that team doesn't up on a stat sheet.

Alvarez was un-hittable going into the playoffs, and he was the stopper in the series. He won game three with a great performance. Bere got pulled early in game 4, and they won with trade deadline acquisition Tim Belcher in relief.

It would have been a PR mess to not start McDowell, but he was owned by the Blue Jays. Losing to Dave Stewart twice in good starts by Fernandez blew that series. If they had started Alvarez in Game 2 it would have been interesting. Also, playing Dan Pasqua was a pretty big mistake. Not that more Bo Jackson at bats would have made the difference.

Never met Fisk eh

Never met Fisk eh

I loved McDowell as a pitcher. As long as they don't rape anyone I could care less what their personality off the field is.
