Still my favorite Sox season, even more than 2005.

Still my favorite Sox season, even more than 2005.

That’s crazy talk. Wire to wire, all time playoff performance World Series winner?

Yes and no. Believe it or not, friend. Terry's Peeps also gave me grief about this.

Yes: a) Personal stuff that is probably boring but is still significant to me. b) I worked down the street that year. c) Last season at Kaminskey! d) Amazing resurgence, which I won $10 from a friend (I predicted they'd win 85 games after the second half of '89). e) Favorite Sox unis!

No: Well, 2005 . . . start 24-7, finish 16-1 . . . that staff, Konerko's slam, AJ's ninth-inning homer against LA . . . three closers . . . Juan Uribe's glove . . . see, the thing is, I still don't really believe it happened. I saw CH's shrink for a while, and he suggested that I the shock of bad owner decisions left me feeling unable to experience true joy.

2005, and then the Southside Hitmen.

There is that tumor deep inside my bowels that every once in a while will scream out in pain, "IT WAS A FLUKE". But I truly believe in 10 alternative universes, 8 times they still win it.

My favorite Sox teams:

1-2) 1990/2005
3) Good Guys Wear Black
4) Winnin' Ugly
5) South Side Hitmen
6) The Kids Can Play
7) 2006/2008/2010
'85 . . . not a bad team . . . Tom Seaver . . . June swoon killed 'em, could not recover
9) '81-82....up and coming team
10) '89, second half of the season
11) 2020-2021 lol -- Typical decent Sox teams that are really half a team

Without a doubt. Peter Gammons even said at the time that they were one of the four best teams of the past 25 years. That was a solid team that had pitching. They win 9.5/10 times in replays.

But goddamnit....I've never been able to enjoy this, despite having watched the entire playoffs 20-25 times...

I mean, if you're just talking regular season, I might buy it. But a 11-1 run to the trophy, c'mon man. I almost passed out after the last out.

Also 1990--and then I'll shut up--TURN BACK THE CLOCK and throwback unis

It started here, bitches

90 was a tremendously fun year. They came out of nowhere and made it interesting all year, despite the fact that it was still the LCS era. You've got to put 05 on the top of your list, but 90 was probably more fun.

Also, I agree with Nardi about 94. People talk about that team like it was going to win the World Series, but I don't think they were even going to win that division.

I liked the full tailed "White Sox" script that they wore up until midway through the '90 season.

I do too, but I hate the cursive C they had on their hats during the time.


Awful. Looks like a 1st grader's scribble.

Winning Ugly was probably my favorite Sox season. That Tito Landrum home run still hurts. 90 was a very good year too. Always felt that if not for the Roided up A's that the Sox would have won it all that year. Even though they didn't make the playoffs. 05 of Course and 93 and 94. The top 5 White Sox Years of my lifetime.

Long Time Comiskey Guy. We used to walk to the game back then. I kept a lot of the paraphernalia for a lot of years and then after awhile it just sort of disappeared.

I knew you were my guy.....I heartily support this post. '83-'85 and '89-'94 were my favorite years.

Comiskey smelled like cotton candy.
