Let's jump into it Dave. Today's date in baseball. What happened today? Dave in 2005, the Chicago White Sox started the season with

0:18.0

37 straight games where they held the lead. On this day in baseball that streak was snapped by the Baltimore Orioles, which

0:26.3

gave the White Sox with the third longest streak in baseball history, Hololina Game at 37 games behind the 34 Yankees in the 42 Cardinals.

0:36.5

2005 White Sox Dave has a. That's a ton of really good company right there. Those are two of the best teams in

0:42.1

baseball history and then the 2005 White Sox. I was at the game. It was a really hot muggy may afternoon.

0:50.3

With. I know that you're the White Sox guy, but the amount of times that you personally insert yourself in like White Sox stories and stuff, I just think is bullshit.

1:03.0

Dave. Well, I was there without looking at the box score. I'm like 95% sure that dinosaur, Hating Old Man, Carl Everett and Dermain, I went back to back.

1:14.3

I know they both hit home runs at game, but I think they're back to back. Do you remember who the starting picture was for

1:20.1

the Orioles? The. Erick Bdard. That's right. Dave traded to Seattle and he was involved in a Theo trade in 2011 and before we get in the

1:34.8

Not the Cubs are the White Sox, the Red Sox in 04. Feel one the world series with the Red Sox. Am I right? You're right. And then in 05. About 60 games in

How did the team react? Bob, Bob, Bob. So here's what I found out every single starter on the rotation carried an ERA over four.

That includes David Wells, Wade Miller and a certain Tim Timmy Wakefield. But all they got so much production from the

2:08.2

offense. They were like first or second every single offensive category. They didn't move any of the pictures around.

2:12.5

Kurt Schilling, Suck, he made eight starts. They kicked him out. I kind of look at that 2005 Red Sox team, right?

2:19.0

I look at the 2005 Red Sox team and I'm trying to figure out if there's anything I'm going to see early with the Cubs.

2:24.7

I think the answer is no. I think it just sit tight. I think it's just kind of see. See if the offense can bounce back.

2:30.7

One thing I was looking for is to see if Theo made any moves for young starting pitching. He didn't what level, you know, that has
