And thus ends the hopes of an all-Illinois-World-Series, like it happened in 1906

Tampa Bay Rays first ever playoff appearance in Franchise History.
White Sox last playoff appearance until 2020 and last home playoff game until 2021.

I wonder if this series would have been different if Carlos Quentin wasn't injured

The only reason why this talented Rays team didn't stay together was because of their owner - who is so tight, he creaks as he walks. But on the other hand, they were able to because of their great farm system, which kept turning out talent every year on the cheap. Now, in 2024, they may have finally hit the wall. Regardless, the owner needs to go and the Glazers and Jeff Vinik needs to buy the team.

I wish that this White Sox core could have made the playoffs more than twice. They were a likeable team. If they had a better owner than Reinsdorf I think they would have made the playoffs more.

10:16 wow. 👀

Nothing worse than talking smack and failing to back it up. That’s what Sox fans remember about OC
