The insufficiently strident will be the first purged.

It's odd, but every time I think an argument on this board can't be topped in stupidity, I find myself being mistaken.

This thread started with idiocy.....there was some fun chirping to call out the idiocy....and now it's back to another form of idiocy.

Do I think the 2005 Sox were better than the 2016 Cubs? yeah...a little bit, but who gives a shit. A WS championship is a WS championship.

Yeah I find it humorous as well when people people try to argue something that's factually incorrect. RFDC and conns are Trumpets in December here :lol:

I thought the science was settled on the ‘05 Sox, yet here we are.

There no such thing as the greatest one season champion. If there is, it's in the context of other championships in that relative time period. For instance, the '27 Yankees or the '86 Celtics. No one has ever put forth the 2005 White Sox to be "in the team picture".

Now the Beloved of Beloveds has been caught up in the effort to diminish the ‘05 Sox.

Sad!

They are certainly had a historic run in the playoffs and were a wire to wire first place team

If anybody would know about bum slaying, its somebody that's a fan of what happened in 2016.

This is dumb.

2005 White Sox. 6 games over .500 vs wining teams
2016 Cubs. 6 games over .500 vs winning teams.

2005 AL; 8 of 14 teams with a record of >.500. That's 57% of the AL.
2016 NL; 6 of 15 teams with a record of >.500. That's 40% of the NL.

2005 White Sox playoff opponent win%; .573
2016 Cubs playoff opponent win%; .559

Is that meant to say the 2016 Cubs played high quality opponents in the regular season?

Just shows the Sox were bigger bum slayers.

Either they are both bum slaying champions or they are not.

Incorrect.

The Sox won a league where 57% of the teams were above .500
The Cubs won a league where 60% of the teams were below .500

Frank brought up bum slaying there way to a division title like the 16 Cubs. Could just as easily brought up the 05 White Sox.

You could have, and you would be wrong just like you are now.

I noticed you stop posting stats as they no longer support your argument which was beyond feeble to begin with.

I'll do some more.

Other than the Cubs, the 2016 NL Central teams played 648 games.
Other than the White Sox, the 2005 AL central played 647 games. Obviously somewhere along the line there was a rainout or something that didn't get made up. Had that game been played, and had the AL Central team won, the 2005 White Sox Divisional opponent win% would have been .471.

The last couple pages of this thread are pretty funny.

I don't really agree with the idea that all champions are equal. Either the Bucks or Suns are going to win the Finals this year, and both teams would get murdered by the majority of champions over the last 30 years.
