2005 World Series, Game 4: White Sox @ Astros

SuperSparrow45 As a Sox fan ... the second half of the season saw a huge lead evaporate ...the Sox had a 10 game+ lead that got down to 1.5 games over Cleveland late in the season. Jose Contreras was 8-0 down that stretch to keep losing streaks from piling up. It was a great year, but August and September weren't all that great.

[@87Khein]

@@samsmigla They tied only the 1999 Yankees for an 11-1 postseason record. The 1976 Reds are still the only team to sweep an entire postseason with multiple rounds but that was still only a 7-0 record overall. Only two teams reached the postseason in each league back then and the LCS was a best-of-five at that point.

[@Frank_Cohen]

I'm a diehard, true blue, Cub fan and I rooted hard for the White Sox the whole postseason because I wanted Chicago to have a baseball championship. My hometown comes first. Sox had first pennant for the city since '59 and the first WS since '17 and while I couldn't work up the excitement I would for the Cubs, I was proud for Chicago. There were a lot of us, whom I knew, who felt the same way.

[@rodrigofran4699]

I'm a White Sox fan first, but I also root for the Cubs. I don't get why people have a problem with this. they're two Chicago teams who play in different leagues, and only see each other a few times a season. It's set up perfectly to like both. imo you SHOULD hope your hometown teams both succeed. I was happy when the Cubs finally won, and I hope I can see a cross-town world series once my Sox finish rebuilding :)

[@fallen4life080]

The 2005 Chicago White Sox are one of the top 10 best MLB teams of all time. Wire to Wire Our bench had some speed and defense to pepper on in late games Our starting pitching was dominant and our bullpen was lights out Our hitting relied on BOTH small ball and big ball (4th in the league in HRs) Our hitting was clutch 90% of the time AND they adjusted within 4 innings to the best pitchers in the league. Opposing teams makes a mistake???.....its like showing meat to a hungry lion....

[@stevenkramer4762]

+Omar Morales Luna In 2006 they dropped to third place and have not seen or heard from them since.

[@fallen4life080]

In 2006 they won 90 games and had a solid season, Detroit won 95 Cleveland won 97. It was a very tough division that year. Problem was the pitching ironically broke down for us, it cost us about 6 games. Buehrle's ERA went from 3.14 in 2005 to 4.92 in 2006! We went back to the playoffs in 2008 but have been absent since.

[@fallen4life080]

dsuchmiel​​ did you even read my comment? They went *wire to wire* they were in first place from the first day to the last day. Had a 15 game lead in the division at the all-star break and best record in the AL all year. Never once did they skip a beat.

[@aggressiveattitudeera887]

+dsuchmiel Overachievers don't hold 1st place in the division for nearly an entire season. They were GOOD. Just plain GOOD. What happened to the White Sox is simple: their division got tougher. Whatever Ozzie did for the Sox Leyland did for the Tigers. And Cleveland was really good too. Kenny Williams standing pat with the roster probably didn't help matters much either. But over-achievers? I have to disagree with that. I hope I explained why we'll enough in this comment.

[@fallen4life080]

Very true Aggressive Attitude Era​​​ the Indians won 97 games (division champs) and the Tigers won 94 (wild card). We on the other hand won 91 and missed out. *however* our biggest problem was our pitching; it had regressed from the 2005 pitching. Mark Buehrle went from a 3.14 ERA in '05 to a whopping 4.76 ERA in '06. Freddy Garcia was solid but José Contreras was higgghjly inconsistent....our pitching cost us at least 6 games. If we had the same pitching we wouldve won the division. Also Kenny at the time traded Rowand for Jim Thome. Brian Anderson, who had been a very very very good utility defensive man took over centre field for Rowand. John Garland was traded and we got Javier Vásquez from the Yankees who was almost as good. We had a good year....its just the other two teams had better seasons

Am I missing anything?

Ozzie at this best. He did well stirring the pot with all those personalities, but still had a ingenious plan and executed it to a "t". It's a shame that eventually his ego got in the way.

2005, what a magical year this was, for me, for Chicago, for the White Sox, and most of all for all Chicago White Sox fans. I was in England during this World Series, but that didn't stop me for enjoying this moment. I was 26 years old at the time, and was living with dread that I would never see the White Sox win the World Series. When I discovered the White Sox had won the World Series it was unlike anything I had ever experienced before, the joy I felt. Laughing like a loon, and yet tears flowing out of my eyes like a bloody waterfall. The White Sox winning the World Series in 2005, ended the 88 year drought, and it also exorcised the demons of 1919. I kept my promise with the Almighty when I vowed if I ever saw the White Sox win the World Series I would stop caring about baseball results. I have kept my end of the bargain now for eleven years going strong. Thank you, Chicago White Sox for the 2005 World Series from this life long White Sox fan. Go White Sox!

[@tbishop3342]

Great post. I was only 19 years old and got to watch it with my Dad who of course told me he's waited all his life for this moment. I remember after we were up 3-0 everyone just knew we were going to win, it was just a matter of waiting to see it happen. I felt very happy at the time but now I realize at only 19 I was pretty fortunate. It would be hard for me to stop caring about White Sox results... I put too much passion into it. I suppose that's healthy, right?

[@spencerpalmer8740]

Having passion about the White Sox is a good thing. I haven't lose my passion for the White Sox. Though I don't miss the feeling of like I need psychiatric help after my teams lose, in either sport, in the playoffs anymore. One of my best accomplishments is keeping my vow with the baseball gods if I ever saw the White Sox win a World Series, I made that vow in 2000. Come 2005 my wish came true. If I one see one White Sox World Series title in my life, fine. If they win more in my lifetime, great. Go White Sox, thank you for the 2005 World Series Championship.

Sadly, in September, both teams folded (the Cubs ended the season 81-81 though the White Sox - who led the AL in batting that season - managed to win 90 games but in the highly competitive AL West Division, that was only good for third place) so the All-Chicago WS never happened.

One of a 4 days that ill remember for the rest of my life. Even though we didn't make it close this year. Sox Pride Forever.* 8/2013

[@HandsOfCinderblock]

Coming from an outside perspective - I'm a Jays fan - I hope the Cubs snap their drought one day, as well. I'm also a Canucks fan, so I can sympathize with futility.

***** A lot of people certainly owe him an apology, but just like his choice can't be held against him forever, their actions can't be held against them forever. No fanbase is flawless.

[@ANe0nChicken]

***** we are not the worst fans in baseball the bandwagoners of the white soxs fans are

[@jameskreisler6083]

lets go rangers!

[@SomeGuyWhoPlaysGames333]

The worst fans in baseball are Red Sox or Yankees fans. Those people that like those teams even if they've never been to Boston or New York especially and are fuckin assholes. I'm a Mariners fan and I know they've been terrible for years. But I'm still not happy about the large crowd of fans for those two teams that appear in our stadium. There's more fans for them there than when another west coast team comes to town.

[@HandsOfCinderblock]

gameaddict51 Not sure if that's totally fair. I mean, I'm 20 and I've been to Toronto twice in my life. Once last year, and once when I was 2 or 3. I like them because I've grown up watching them. Sure, there are a lot of bandwagon jumpers in the Yankee and Red Sox fan club, but I believe that most of the people who pay to attend a baseball game and root for them are legit fans. I saw the Mariners play New York back in 2006. We were in the cheap seats, so we were surrounded by Yankee fans. There was a 4 or 5 year old kid behind me that would get so excited every time Melky Cabrera came up to bat: "Look mom, it's Melky! Melkyyy!!!" You can't help but enjoy something like that. Those teams have been around for over a hundred years; they have way more legit fans than bandwagoners.

Thank you MLB, for realizing you can make more $ putting this up on KZbin than doing otherwise. Im going to (try to) fall asleep to this right amazing game right now

[@FlynnMasters]

Best 4 game sweep in ws history

[@scotscowboyfan]

As a fan since 1982 , Finally got to see the Whitesox play in 2005, I was in NY to see us take 2 out of 3 from the Yankees. can remember staying up to 5 am watching the World series , happy memories.

[@amsc6657]

Anyone watching in 2024?

[@realAAron124]

I get tears in my eyes within the first minute of this. Right now, we are suffering like no other fans ever have. That's the thing about baseball though, if you're patient, stick with your team, you will be rewarded. You'll never know the year, but baseball has a way of egging you on. Telling you to keep rooting for the home team.

[@joetorres8220]

I remember this like it was yesterday. I'm tired of remembering an almost ten year ago world series. we aren't going any where this year. we are improving, but bullpen is killing us every game! if we fix that we should be contenders for sure.

[@highandef]

A dominant post-season by an excellent and well balanced team-- the '05 White Sox eliminated the 2004 Champion Red Sox, who had overcome their own Series drought the year prior, en rote to their first title since 1917. Go White Sox!

[@themathman15]

Im so happy this is on yt this made my year being a diebhard Sox fan

[@reyesdienes8981]

Awesome love it brings so many good memories they were a good team all around go sox for life

[@JasonEmerson711]

That 8th inning typifies the whole season for the White Sox. Timely hitting. Perfect execution. Never seen a team get the runner over and in like they did in 2005. Never seen a team dominate starting pitching like they did in the postseason.

[@scottedwards2962]

From what I read this World Series had one of the lowest ratings of the 21st century just a little bit lower than the 2010 World Series. Im surprised that this Series wasnt that high in the ratings

[@dirtydozenbitch2]

Giants are still the most dis-respected world champions in history.

[@scottedwards2962]

Nick Meyers The really most disrespected world champion has always been the Yankees. Every time the Yankees are in the Series people find reasons to hate them

[@fallen4life080]

Where did you get those stats? From what i read, the White Sox made headline BUT the Astros were supposedly the one's who killed the ratings, if anything the 2012 WS had the lowest ratings cause the Tigers turned into The Cubs and fell apart at the seams.

[@runner6500]

***** Wrong dimwit. This ain't a Cubs town. Never was never will be. The ratings were high in Chicago. Houston wasn't attractive to the rest of the country.

[@ANe0nChicken]

This has a much better picture quality than the blurry video over at Stephen's Baseball Archives. 1:28:30 - Cute blonde in the stands mugs for the camera. 1:51:50 - No Astroturf in Houston, I see. 2:37:07 - The woman in the stands visibly saying "NO!" as Uribe makes the second to the last out of the 2005 MLB season. Upper left corner, to the left of the broad-shouldered man in the blue jacket with grey sleeves.

Why can't we just all get along? As a Chicagoan myself, I think it will just be great to say to your grandchildren many years from now that we witnessed these historic moments. Here's to hoping both Chicago teams WILL hoist the Commissioner's trophy again!

[@realAAron124]

That "Patsy" team beat out your cubbies for the NL Wild Card. They also beat the Braves and Cardinals that year. The recent good Cub teams were a lot better than this Astros team on paper besides the pitching staff. The cubs wish they had one year of Clemens, Oswalt, Pettite. But the cubs didnt make it. With all due respect I cant wait for the cubs to get to the world series. All of america will be rooting for them. Even the white sox fans, even though most cubbie fans in 05 didnt root for the sox.

[@TheHuntingApex]

If you are a true white sox fan you will never EVER cheer for the Cubs. And even if the Cubs make it to the postseason this year they won't win. They will get beat out by the Nats or any other team they face

[@realAAron124]

Im a true baseball fan, many people will be happy if the cubs win, its baseball history

[@TheHuntingApex]

Aaron Real Was I talking about true baseball fans?? I consider myself a true baseball fan but im too much of a White Sox fan to even think about cheering for the cubs

[@realAAron124]

Ive been a white sox fan since 2003 and i hate the cubs when we play them but if the cubs make it to the world series and we dont,im not going to wish the cubs lose, then id be no better than the sorry cub fans who hated when we won it all. Thats the point im getting at. If being a "true" fan means rooting for the cubs always to lose even when they arent facing sox then i dont wanna be a true fan, its great for the city when both teams win. Those 2008 series were amazing.

[@TheHuntingApex]

Aaron Real Thats fine. But I was raised in a household to root for the sox and whoever beats the cubs. Im too much of a white sox fan to root for the cubs or anyone who faces the white sox

[@NewWaveFan1]

I remember the 2004 and 2005 WS both being 4 game sweeps. I hated how Boston won, but loved seeing the White Sox win. Houston's offense was completely dead the whole series... The NLCS with the Braves drained them. Chicago cruised through the playoffs and just over matched them.

[@BKIslandersfan]

Hawk Harrelson should have called the game at least for Chicago audience. Buck ruined the moment.

BeatleKid96 I've seen the replay many times and he was safe. I'm not a fan of either of these two teams.

[@BEATL96]

+Lou Albino I, too, have seen the replay a lot. They even paused it when the ball was in the glove. At that moment, the runner's foot was not on the bag yet. I'm an Astros fan, and I can't deny this.
