How Soon They Forget

Tribune writers must be wetting their pants for their Cubbies to get into the playoffs so they can finally erase any records or memories of the 2005 season. They've been actively forgetting ever since 2005, as we've reported before, but Mark Gonzales takes forgetting to new heights in his story today:

Jose Contreras and Jon Garland pitched the Sox's first consecutive complete games since David Wells and Jim Parque went the distance in 2001.

Funny, we seem to remember White Sox pitchers throwing four consecutive complete games during the American League Championship Series in 2005. Not all that long ago, really.


Thanks to Brett Ballantini for this and many recent posts.
