The 2016 Cubs were an incredibly good team, who also had the good fortune of beating up on several rebuilding teams MANY times during the year. You need some good fortune to win a title. You play who is on your schedule, you beat who is on your schedule. Make no bones about it.

Again, bum slay your way into the dance, and see what transpires.

Well when a team wins 103 games and most games are played in division its not terribly surprising that the other guys have a lot of losses.
Plus there was not much bum slaying involved in beating the dodgers and the giants in the playoffs. And the Indians won 94 something games.


check the fortuitous injury reports of those teams

They probably should have rescheduled the playoffs for injuries.


You are using the strength of those teams as some kind of argument the cubs didn't bum slay but those teams each were at a reduced capacity due to injuries. Cubs didn't have to beat anyone good even in the playoffs

:lol: This is always one of my favorite board arguments. I love that White Sox fans can no longer laugh and claim that the Cubs will never win a championship in their lifetime. Now they have to resort to this nonsense.

This Cub fan does not care who they played or what the situation was, they won the FUCKING WORLD SERIES and that cannot be changed!!!

This is a perfectly understandable reaction to a team that lost six postseason games and needed Cleveland to kick the ball around to get to a seventh game. Not everybody has seen their team dominate with an 11-1 October like us White Sox fans.

I am glad that somehow makes you feel better Frank. Yet each WS win is exactly the same.

I’d feel the same were my team not a wire to wire champ with the best postseason record since playoff expansion.

Same trophy. Both teams got rings. Both teams got a parade. Both are in the record book for WS winners.

It is quite funny to hear Sox fans brag about a better record in the playoffs after years of mocking Cub fans who make attendance jokes.

And yet neither has anything to do with a championship.

11-1 is no different than another other championship. If you win it, you win it. There is no bonus points for record.

Sounds like something a guy whose team didn’t go 11-1 would say.

Again if that makes you feel better then great. Yet it really is meaningless.

Winning the WS is definitely worthy of bragging.

The record of a team winning the WS is not, and is about like bragging about an attendance championship, as both are meaningless.

You don't get an extra championship for winning with an 11-1 record.

Yeah by Frank's standard the 96 Bulls are tied for the 10th best team in NBA history because they lost 3 times.

I thought we established they played better, less injured competition in their wire to wire World Series run.*

*during which they recorded the best postseason record since playoff expansion

Nah, they just became only the 4th team in MLB history to go wire-to-wire and then posted the best playoff record since the advent of the Division Series round, placing themselves into the conversation of all-time great World Series championship teams.

And their WS win counts exactly the same as every other team to win it.

Surely Cubs fans have never, ever said it discouraging World about the 2006, 83 win Cardinals.

This must REALLY matter to RFDC and conns because here they are in the White Sox section continuing to post about the greatest postseason team in the Wild Card era.

2005, 2006 and 2016 WS wins all count the same.

I am sorry if that bothers you Frank, but as Antioch says the truth is the truth.

Googling best World Series winners of All-time is not very nice to the 05 Sox.
