and that I can't see the Sox being as scrappy as we are.

I just don't understand how just about everyone in the media is picking the White Sox to win.

I don't know - giving up a 15 game lead in the last month of the season and then dominating the last couple weeks and the playoffs to silence all critics shows some mental "toughness" as well.

BTW - I think mental toughness is overrated and shouldn't change betting lines... I made a crapload of money because the line was against oswalt last night. I assume this was because of the public bias on "momentum" that st. louis had because of the pujols homerun and the comeback last year. "momentum" my a**...

If you've spent any time on these boards, or watched a broadcast on the Eastern Seaboard Programming Network, you'd know the most underestimated and disrespected team in baseball was the White Sox.

FWIW, I think it's been pretty clearly established in the postseason that the media "experts" predictions should be totally disregarded.

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?

Oh yeah? Why don't you work on compiling the Astros SAT scores, and I'll work on the White Sox.

Dude, your mental toughness B.S. has been argued against successfully every time you've brought it up on this thread, and it was also pointed out that it most likely doesn't mean squat.

The White Sox "invent" ways to win.
