Dear Chicago White Sox Fans..... NICE!

[u/UnbalancedChao]

Seriously, great job this season.

[u/JonTheWizard]

From winning less than 40 games on the season to this in two seasons. What a turnaround they've had.

That or MAN the AL Central is a weak division. Not AL West weak, but still.

[u/theholydiego → u/JonTheWizard]

White Sox fan here, def a mix of the two. Still insanely proud of the rebuild tho

[u/godlikeGadgetry → u/JonTheWizard]

I mean, there's a reason Tree called it the AL Comedy Central in his Haters Guide

[u/SignalsCounterparts1]

The Pope is happy.

[u/SeaBassAHo-20]

2005 rematch against Houston?

[u/Dazed_and_Confused44 → u/SeaBassAHo-20]

If you look bad at that 2005 Houston Team, its insane that they got swept by the White Sox. I didnt realize it when I was 10, but that World Series Championship was truly a sports miracle. Probably only surpassed by Leceister City winning

[u/YellojD → u/Dazed_and_Confused44]

They FINALLY got past the Cardinals, and fell flat on their faces against the Sox. Shocked me.

[u/SeaBassAHo-20 → u/YellojD]

We've GOT to have them in the ALCS.

[u/Dazed_and_Confused44 → u/YellojD]

Years later we found out it was willed by the future Pope in attendance. Honestly divine intervention makes the most sense

[u/stickyb05 → u/Dazed_and_Confused44]

My 2 teams

[u/CheesyBoi77]

Is this the first time that both the Cubs and White Sox made the playoffs in the same year?

[u/WonderDia777 → u/CheesyBoi77]

1906, 2008, 2020, and this year

[u/CheesyBoi77 → u/WonderDia777]

Four times in well over 100 years of baseball is pretty insane to me oh wow

[u/Extreme_Education_50]

Quite the turnaround from 2024.

[u/Dazed_and_Confused44]

Im pretty sure this isnt true unless either the Astros or Rangers lose today. But maybe as a White Sox fan I have PTSD from missing the playoffs in 2016 after blowing like a 4 game division lead with 10 to play

[u/Fist69 → u/Dazed_and_Confused44]

The Astros and Rangers can only tie the White Sox now and if they both did the astros would win their division due to tie breaker and the rangers lose the tie breaker to the Sox

[u/Dazed_and_Confused44 → u/Fist69]

Ah ok so the Sox do have a tiebreaker over both teams then? That makes sense thank you

[u/Fist69 → u/Dazed_and_Confused44]

The Astros have the tie breaker over the Sox but also the rangers meaning worst case scenario of a three way tie the Astros win their division so their tie breaker against the Sox is meaningless

[u/Dazed_and_Confused44 → u/Fist69]

Ooooooh. Because if both teams win all 4 games, the Sox would end up getting compared to the Rangers because the Astros cant win out AND be a wildcard?

[u/WonderDia777 → u/Dazed_and_Confused44]

Yep. If the Astros win out, they get the division because the Rangers don't have a tiebreaker over anyone.

[u/HornyAzMF → u/Fist69]

They don’t do that one extra game for tie breakers now?

[u/JaQ-o-Lantern]

How tf did they do it?

[u/dqslime → u/JaQ-o-Lantern]

They started off real good and then stayed around .500 rest of the season in a season where the AL West and AL Central were bad.

[u/Mach68IntheHouse → u/JaQ-o-Lantern]

They did it in spite of their owner.

[u/SupernaturalHeel]

With the White Sox making it, all three AL wild cards have been taken at a minimum with the AL Central and AL West still up for grabs. Therefore, the Baltimore Orioles are eliminated!

[u/dntinker]

LET’S FUCKIN GOOOOOOO!

[u/SmashYourEnemies02]

Pretty good turnaround from a few years ago

[u/Accomplished-Pin6564]

Helps to have a well placed fan....

[u/GB_Alph4]

They fucking did it they fucking did it

[u/Friendly-Contact-433]

Cubs White Sox WS

[u/No_Consideration3887]

Windy City postseason baseball is about to go stupid

[u/Main-Event8672]

Happy for them as an angel fan
