Chavez Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Just a suggestion. Don't groove a fastball to Pujols with 2 on in the 9th. Or he will hit it halfway to San Antonio. 1078602[/snapback] [Costner]"Anything that flies that far oughta have a stewardess on it." [/Costner] Took me about a half-second to figure out who hit that (was in the local tavern and paying significantly more attention to MNF; all the NLCS got was the occasional glance and utterance of "choke on it, LaRussa").

ABearWithFurniture Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Don't groove a fastball to Pujols with 2 on in the 9th. 1078602[/snapback] lol...I think I could have hit that pitch. Not sure what Lidge or Garner were thinking there but I would have much rather pitched to Sanders with 2 outs then Pujols... Oh well...hello Game 6...

Bill Swerski Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Lidge has been awful for the past couple weeks. Not a good time for a stud closer to be in a slump. But I'm happy to see these two continue to beat on each other, while the Sox are resting up at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't feel good going back to St. L. It's really terrible being a 'Stros and Bills fan. I tell ya it really sucks. I'm not that old and look like I'm in my 80's.

My biggest problem with Lidge in that inning was the way he pitched to Edmunds. It seemed like he was almost pitching around him or at least his location was horrible. He!! he almost hit him with one pitch. You have to go after Edmunds and if he homers(not likely) it's only tied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

driveby Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 I think it was a slider that didn't slide. 1078893[/snapback] Which makes it a fastball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiefjay Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Which makes it a fastball. 1079995[/snapback] Nope because it hung up there for him to him 500 ft. A fastball would've have been 96 mph and probably hand cuffs him a bit. That said I will agree with my Republican brother that it in the end it was probably the equivalent of a Tim Wakefield fastball. Either way WM is right, it was a grade A meatball.

Bill Swerski Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Houston we have a series. Im hoping for game seven. 1079976[/snapback] Me too. No offense to the 'Stros fans here, but I'd rather the Sox face a beat-up Cards offense and very-good-but-not-dominant pitching rather than Oswalt, Clemens, Pettite, and Lidge.

Bill Swerski Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 come-on, admit it--you just want to get a chance to see how the NL MVP plays against your White Sox. 1081760[/snapback] Well, the reigning AL MVP didn't do too well (1-20). Pujols has some serious freaking skills. But if they face him, the Sox will probably pitch around him. I'd rather see the Sox face Pujols four times a game than seven or eight straight innings of Oswalt and Clemens (twice). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of all the NL teams that I did not want to make the post-season, it was Houston. I was rooting for Philly and Florida from about the All-Star break onward. Houston's pitching is scary-good.

major-tom Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Did anyone see the high strike call on Jason Lane in the first inning? I told my wife if that strike had been called on one of the Cardinals LaRussa would've had an aneurysm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There needs to be some kind of negative for not winning your division. Winning your division gives you no edge. Anyway, Astros/White Sox will be good. I've got to go with the Astros. I mean, if they win tonight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
