Re: *****Official Astros-White Sox World Series Thread*****
there will be no misery... houston will be just as proud if we dont end up winning it, as long as we really give em a run for the money...
I guess you'd have to be a houstonian to understand. oh and by the way, we'll split it in chi, and take it down in six. |

[/ QUOTE ] You can say lots of things about the series, but you sure can't say the Cardinals or their fans underestimated the Stros. I don't know where you got that from, but I assure you it's a bad source. |

Re: *****Official Astros-White Sox World Series Thread*****
ehhhh, there was alot of fluke talk after game 2. I think it was after game 3 that people kinda perked their heads up.
I dont mean the organization, I mean the audience at large. |

Re: *****Official Astros-White Sox World Series Thread*****
I just don't understand how just about everyone in the media is picking the White Sox to win. The Astros just dominated a series against what was generally regarded to be the best team in baseball. And now we're supposed to be underdogs to the White Sox?
The Cardinals scared me more than the White Sox do. This year the title comes back to the NL. |

[/ QUOTE ] Your "bring it back to the NL" talk will not sway me into moving the Stros out of the #3 spot on the list. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] I think the thinking goes like this: The Cards played like dogshit while the Sox are playing their best ball. Unlike TLR who has his player so wound up they can't see straight, Ozzie will have his boys loose and ready to go. I dunno, looks like a very slight Sox edge to me, which is about where the betting line is at. |

Re: *****Official Astros-White Sox World Series Thread*****
if I had to lose it to anyone, it would be ozzie guillen... amazing dude.
yes, his players are going to be loose and relaxed. I would agree that in tangible stats, there is a slight advantage to the sox given their advantage in the middle of the batting lineup (although Ensburg showed some life tonight... finally). But again I say, show me an argument that paints the Sox as more mentally tough. It just isn't there. That toughness got us past the Cards... let's see what we can do against the Sox. Personally Im just amped for a great series. Oh, and to the poster above, no I didn't mean the media, I meant the general tone of the talk I heard, posts I saw on another sports board Im on. |
