No offense to the White Sox bullpen, which was really, really good in 2005. But with starters like these, who needed relievers?
The White Sox famously didn’t in the ALCS, when Mark Buehrle, Jon Garland, Freddy Garcia and Jose Contreras threw four straight complete games, a jaw-dropping feat, especially by today’s standards. And earlier during #SoxRewind, we saw a foreshadowing of that dominance during a four-game series in Cleveland.
Well, with the White Sox skidding in August, the starting rotation stepped in and put the team on its shoulders, the same thing it would do two months later to fuel a World Series win.
