Ryan, I'm not trying to steal your thread here but I figured it kinda got buried on a back page so I'd do this one for the series. My pick: White Sox in 7. Both Teams have outstanding pitching, but I whink the Sox have just a bit of an edge. The closer is no contest, Brad Lidge all the way. And I'm not sure why all these sports geniuses are making light of the Astros lineup. HELLO, Lance Berkman anyone? he's just as good a power hitter as Konerko as far as I'm concerned. I'm just sooooo excited about these pitching matchups. Gimme a good tight 2-1 pitching duel anyday. I'm so damn tired of all these roid freaks and their home runs and 10-9 games.

that national sports news outlets are giving the Astros no chance of winning this series...Interesting, I remember 2 of the best series in recent memory were ones won by teams that entered as the complete underdogs:
1991-Twins (Choking the Braves)
1996-Yankees (Again, Choking the Braves)
I want to see 15-2 & 13-0 type scores with 4 straight wins by the Astros.

Me too.:nod: I love great pitching, which has been sorely missed for the last decade or so because of the steroid situation. Both of these teams have fantastic pitching. I'll go with the White Sox to win. I really don't want Houston to win because they just barely edged out the Phillies to get the wild card. I also think it's great to see a World Series without the Yankess or the Red Sox for once.

Dont get me started on Whitey Herzog either. All he did during that entire series is disrespect the Twins and how they didnt belong there with that record and our ballpark was a joke, we wouldve won if we had Jack Clark BLAH BLAH BLAH. You know WHitey, there's a line from A Few Good Men that Jack Nicholson said called "YOU CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!!" I find it to be very appropriate in your case. Either get the job done and prove your better or SHUT UP!!

Cardinal ass kicking I enjoyed more, The 87 Twins or the 85 Royals...Whitey got shut up twice within 2 years.

White Sox in 6. I just don't think the stros will pull if off this year. I'm truthfully amazed they even made the playoffs. After last year, I thought they would lose so much of the team they would have a chance. They'll make 6 games, but the Monster offense that is Chicago will push them over the edge.

Yeah, there should be some good ones. I predict a Gm 1 Astros win. :nod: Roger seems pretty amped. Plus, I'm not a fan of Contreras at all. Never have been, never will be. I like Garland a lot tho. That's why Game 3 will determine this series. Garland vs. Pettitte. Should be a GREAT series. :nod: :D

Plz. The Padres were a joke. We shouldn't have even had to play a WS that year. They could've said, "Well, this is the best baseball team ever assembled, so here's your trophy and rings" and left it at that. Spared us the time. ;) :laugh: :nod:

What a game last night. It's really going to be a shame if the White Sox win tonight in the sense that a sweep wouldnt do justice to how competetive this series has been.

Watching a little last night, I was reminded why I love football...it's over within a reasonable amount of time, AND.....it's exciting! I've even lost my voice screaming at the TV!! LOL Go Cowboys!!!!!!!
If the Astros (and I'm from Texas) are gonna be p*ssies about the roof...they deserve to lose. Go White Sox.

Alright, so I'm from Chicago so I pretty much have to love the White Sox. People here are going nuts... It's been a few days since I've gotten anything back from my teachers because they've always been watching the game. I swear, it's like the world stops!
I was never a baseball fan, but it's so nice my team is doing well!
Watch, I just jinxed them... :o

Hi Jessica,
I'm from Chicago as well (lived there my whole life until 7 months ago).:wavey:
However, I definitely don't love the White Sox. In fact, I HATE them! One of the few reasons I'm glad I don't live there anymore is that I don't have to deal with the Sox fans. (That is, except for family and friends who insist on calling and rubbing it in!) I've lived through enough of Sox fans deriving great pleasure at the Cubs' many chokings, and they've never let me hear the end of it. So I take abolutely no pleasure in them winning. If only they would lose the next four games to accomplish the biggest choke in World Series history, I would do cartwheels for days. Sorry!

Sorry, but everytime the Cubs have come close and choked, Sox fans were elated and gloated for months afterwards! In 1983, I was happy for them that they won the division... until 1984, when Sox fans everywhere were practically doing cartwheels when the Cubs lost the division playoffs, and rubbed it in every chance they got. So all bets are off. I will never be happy about a Sox win. And you can bet your a$$ my phone will be ringing off the hook for weeks due to Sox fans gloating. And they will be more happy about the fact that the Cubs haven't won a world series in ions than they will about the fact that they just won their first since 1917. I'll be hearing more about what losers the Cubs are than about how great the Sox are.
