11-1 is 11-1. Only two teams have done it, and one of them is the Sox. It sucks that they are the red-headed stepchild, so to speak. If Jeter made the two plays that Uribe did to end a World Series, they would be talked about as two of the greatest catches in MLB history.

And I agree. We shouldn't start the discussion. The grand slam alone trumps just about anything the Cubs did...Ross and Zobrist in Game 7 are the only things that come close. A guy with 0 regular season HRs hitting a walk off HR in the World Series is probably the best moment of any Chicago team in any World Series ever.

While only two teams have gone 11-1, only one team has thrown a World Series.

Props to RPB for entering what he had to know was the losing side of the discussion. He handled himself well but Frank was never really in danger of losing this argument. There's just no good rebuttal for 11-1 and going wire to wire.

In 2005 I said that I would still be happy even if the Sox didn't make the playoffs for 10 to 15 years. I'm still happy about 2005 but some playoff appearances in the next few years wouldn't hurt.

Going wire to wire has nothing to do with the postseason.

Alright, so you want facts.

-The 2005 White Sox were the first AL team since the 1927 Yankees to lead their division/league wire to wire and sweep the World Series.

-2005 was the first time in MLB history that the starting pitcher of the All Star earned the All Star game win, a post season win, and a post season save.

-2005 was the second time in MLB history that a player had 0 regular season home runs and then hit a post season home run. The first was also a Sox player- Lance Johnson in 1993.

-1962, 1991, 1995, and 2005 are the only World Series that featured clinching games ending with a 1-0 score.

-The White Sox held the Astros scoreless for 15 consecutive innings, a World Series record.


I don't know what the following season has to do with the Sox playoff opponents, but they swept the defending World Series Champions out of the playoffs. And I had totally forgotten that Addison Russell hit a WS slam

I believe both teams earned it 100% and should be celebrated.

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

MANY are jealous of the Sox historic run. Maybe one day, Cubs fans will know what its like to have thier team sweep a postseason series.

:lol:

I stand by my previous statement

Laurence Holmes is a fucking weirdo, a nerd in denial, and a wannabe. Not a very good radio host either.

5-10 in the last three nlcs

When was the last time the Sox avoided a losing season, much less a league Championship series?
