There are at least two teams, and possibly more, that may be better than the 2005 White Sox. I think the White Sox have a good case for beating those teams too.

The issue is with unreasonable people that don't think the Sox are as good because "REGULAR SEASON WINS!".

Sox are one of 5 teams, IIRC, to go wire to wire.

This is correct.

Dude, of course the Sox could beat them. Do you really believe that the better team wins every time in baseball?

Actually, This Thread was about the Cleveland Indians, but 8 posts in a Cubs fan went off about White Sox fans. Now five pages later, Cubs fans still can't stop talking about the 2005 White Sox.

But I lack self awareness, right leash?

someone said the indians this year reminded them of the Royals when they won the WC. They lost a game 7 but came back to win it all the following year.

They won again.

I see on espn.com they are like the 5th story down in the baseball section. I guess 20 in a row is not a big deal for espn unless its the redsox or yankees.

I love the ESPN headline that winning all these games in a row for the Indians is more impressive than winning a World Series.

I am sure every player on the Indians would trade in a 20 game winning streak for a WS championship.

Most World Series teams meeting would be a good series. They're all champions.

It's hilarious that you think regular season has ZERO bearing on the discussion of all time great teams.


And do you see the 2005 White Sox listed among all time great teams from analysts and such? Are the people making those lists anti Sox too ?


Anyways, 20 in a row for the tribe!

Kluber Lang shut out.

Or Cleveland fans...there were fewer than 25,000 at the game.

I never said 0 bearing. When it is the only argument against a team it's stupid though.

You've already acknowledged that the 2005 White Sox would give any team in baseball history a really good series. I don't really see the need to continue to argue that the White Sox had a good chance of beating any team in baseball history.

That makes no sense, but whatever.


2005 White Sox were brought up on Jim Rome yesterday. Konerko saying the September collapse was "the best thing that could have happened" to the team because it refocused them.

Who would argue that a team that won the WS wouldn't give any other team a good series? I thought this was a bit, but you're apparently serious.
