Primetime9287 Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Great 2 games, Astros should take at least 2 out of 3 at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Swerski Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 (edited) The umps are the White Sox' friends again. Bad call on a non-hit-by-pitch leads to a grand slam. (of course the strohs could have just gotten somebody out since everything happened with 2 outs) 1093376[/snapback] The phantom strike three on A.J. in the ALCS was a horrible call, but this one was REALLY close. It's difficult to blame the ump for that one... especially when the ball's coming in at 90 mph. All it takes is the lack of the "wood-on-ball" sound and a good acting performance from Dye. And, like you said, the ump didn't throw the meatball that Paulie jacked over the left-field wall. I find it interesting that Fox made such a big deal out of this (and, of course, they waited until Konerko's GS to do so). My theory is that the networks are pushing hard for instant replay. Extra commercial breaks mean more advertising revenue for them. Edited October 24, 2005 by Bill Swerski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Swerski Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Great 2 games, Astros should take at least 2 out of 3 at home. 1093579[/snapback] They're going to have to just to stay alive. That said, I'm going to be surprised if the Sox beat Oswalt tomorrow night. Pettitte was fantastic last night... did just about everything one could ask for (except maybe going a little deeper into the game). I can't believe that he was charged for the run on Biggio's drop. Berkman has been incredible over these two games as well. But, my God, what the hell happened to Lidge. He hasn't pitched well at all recently. Buehrle didn't have his command last night (and got squeezed a few times), but stayed in the game long enough to take the heat off of the 'pen. Konerko is going to get paid BIG TIME in the offseason and Pods just continues to amaze me. Both were instrumental in overcoming horrible base-running and poor situational hitting. I'm not convinced that Jenks is playoff closer material right now. It looked like he was getting squeezed a bit in the 9th, but he can't give up that two-run double. Hopefully Ozzie will stick to his closer-by-committee approach. Looking forward to the games in Houston... if I don't have a heart attack by then!

crispirons Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 i could see the strohs winning game 3 with oswalt. the sox have the better pitching matchup in game 4. i'll stick with my earlier prediction. sox in 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

major-tom Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Crushing defeat after the Astros battled back from down 2-1 and 6-4. They now have to win 4 out of 5. Our stellar relief pitchers let us down again. I hate to say it fellow Astros fans but game o........I just can't say it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitem0nkey Posted October 24, 2005 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 I love the fact that not a single one of the controversial calls in the playoffs have scored a run for the White Sox. None. Zip. Nada. Every time we have caught a break, whether it was Tony G. missing a grounder, or AJ's steal of first base, or Dye's play last night, the White Sox have had to follow that break with a great play. And they have done so EVERY TIME. That is why this White Sox team is so special. They seize the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitem0nkey Posted October 24, 2005 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 (edited) also to crappy shoes from spammers for this ad. There are two baseball teams in Chicago. One is loved not just in Chicago, but nationally. A fan base as far and wide as this great country. Then you have the this other team on the southside. Whose fan base is just the southside. The Southside White Sox are not a popular team. You don't see kids wearing their baseball caps in NY and LA and London. They are blue collar. Nothing fancy. No frills. Just a bunch of small ballers and outcasts who found a home on the other side of town. They are the team of their people and that's the way they play- with all heart and more heart and just when they think they've given you all the heart they have,they give you a little more. That's the Southside for you. So when you're watching this series you're not just watching a baseball team. You're witnessing the collective soul of a few hundred thousand people on one side of town. World,meet the Southside Whitesox. Just do it….. Edited October 24, 2005 by whitem0nkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outshined Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I am rooting for the Sox. I like playoff baseball and would like to see the Sox win 7. A little drama would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitem0nkey Posted October 25, 2005 Author Share Posted October 25, 2005 Posednik 0 in the reg season 2 in the post. 1095673[/snapback] He had 12 last years, but batted .244 with 70 stolen bases. When he joined the sox he gave up on the home run and focused on getting on base to steal more bases. This year he batted .290 with 59 stolen bases, most were in the 1st half of the year. The past two weeks because his stealing was not as good as it was in the first half he went to more of a power swing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitem0nkey Posted October 25, 2005 Author Share Posted October 25, 2005 (edited) There have been only 14 walk-off home-runs in the history of the World Series, two of which have won the World Series 1949 - Tommy Henrich, NY Yankees 1954 - Dusty Rhodes, NY Giants 1957 - Eddie Mathews, Milwaukee 1960, Game 7 - Bill Mazeroski of the Pittsburgh Pirates becomes the first person to win the World Series with a walk-off home run, defeating the New York Yankees 1964 - Mickey Mantle, NY Yankees 1975, Game 6 - Carlton Fisk of the Boston Red Sox hits a solo homer in the bottom of the 12th inning to end a game against the Cincinnati Reds considered by many the greatest ever played. This homer arguably changed the very way televised sports are covered. Because camera operators missed a cue from the producer, the camera lingered on Fisk trying to "wave his home run fair 1988, Game 1 Kirk Gibson of the Los Angeles Dodgers comes off the bench to hit a walk-off home run against the Oakland Athletics. The Dodgers, heavy underdogs, go on to take the series in five games. 1988 - Mark McGwire, Oakland 1991, Game 6 - Kirby Puckett 1993, Game 6 - Joe Carter of the Toronto Blue Jays becomes the second person to win the World Series with a walk-off home run, against the Philadelphia Phillies 1999 - Chad Curtis, NY Yankees 2001, Game 4 - Derek Jeter 2003 - Alex González, Florida 2005, Game 2 - Scott Podsednik Link Edited October 25, 2005 by whitem0nkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
