eh, just checked the stats, qualls and the other guy are better than i thought. i heard somewhere they werent that good.

It's amazing what 5 seconds of legwork will teach you, isn't it? Wheeler is a solid 8th inning setup guy for Lidge, and Qualls is a solid 7th inning guy. Gallo is useless. Springer is hit or miss. He pitches well when we're behind but he can't seem to hold a lead.

We also have Wandy Rodriguez in the pen for long (left-handed) relief. He's a rookie, and was our #5 starter this year, compiling I believe a 10-10 record. He's quality.

I heard somewhere (everywhere) that Derek Jeter is homosexual. Guess that means it's fact?

Re: *****Official Astros-White Sox World Series Thread*****
 

Braves now have to win 3 of the next 4 games, in which they will face Clemens, Oswalt, and Pettitte again. Not to mention Backe, who 1-hit the Cardinals in Game 5 of the NLCS last year.

White Sox will close out either in Game 3 or 4. It's high time the "RED SOX NATION" realizes that their team is fundamentally HORRIBLE. And exhorbanently cocky, to boot.

F those jagoffs. Seal them off for another 86 years.

Yeah, then beat Pettitte in game 5 with no bullpen and an injured Smoltz. They came soo close to beating the Astros, even with HF advantage.

No Boston or NYY fans give a S*** about any other teams. All they care about is beating eachother, which proved to be their tragic downfall this season. They got so worked up about which team was better that they failed to pay attention to the other 28 teams out there. Nice boneheaded $200M strategy [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: *****Official Astros-White Sox World Series Thread*****
 

I just heard something on the radio. They were interviewing Ozzie Guillen and he said that he wants to win the world series for Jerry Reinsdorf firstly, and secondly for the fans. He said "Probably the players want to win for the fans first".

What kind of a thing is that for a manager to say? I can almost guarantee when Phil Garner is asked he will say he wants to win first and foremost for the fans & the city of Houston.

HOUSTON ASTROS ARE GOING ALL THE WAY THIS YEAR. GO STROS!

Is this going to be the official world series thread, or are we starting a clean on Saturday? I don't care either way -- just want to get the logistics in order.

Re: *****Official Astros-White Sox World Series Thread*****
 

This series should be very very good! I cannot remember a WS in recent years where the 2 teams involved were SO similar.

Starting pitching... phenomenal bullpen... mix of youth and experience... speed at top of lineup... defense up the middle...

all of it...

I give the Sox the slight edge b/c I believe 8 of their 9 starters had over 10 homers each. Pretty much everyone in their lineup can get you an HR.

Astros have Taveras, Ausmus and Everett each with weak HR power.

BUT IT WILL BE GREAT!!!!!!!!

I CANT WAIT!

GO STROS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: *****Official Astros-White Sox World Series Thread*****
 

I think that it will be a great series, but Im not sure you can make a case for the Sox being more mentally tough than we are.

anyone wanna try?
