Re: *****Official Astros-White Sox World Series Thread*****
I think the ump just made the call based on what he saw and heard and what his first instinct was. There really isn't any more to read into this. He thought it hit his arm, if he thought it hit is bat he would have called it as such. I would seriously doubt he took into account anything other (like whether it was ball 4) than what he thought he saw/heard.

Re: *****Official Astros-White Sox World Series Thread*****
This was my first crack at what people were saying about replay.
Not sure if this is true or not but I read somewhere that MLB is making Houston keep the roof open. Which if that is true is bullshit in my opinion. The weather should be perfect for it to be open though, low 60s I think. As far as you saying a sweep I don't think the Sox matchup very poorly against Oswalt as a team. He throws 80% fastballs and spots them well with late movement. The Sox as alot of people have said hit offspeed better I think.

i wasn't targeting that at you collin, but you were the last poster, and i merely replied to you. This "did it hit his hands or not" has gone on for about 100 posts too long, and this was my attempt to get the thread focused back on baseball rather than umpire conspiracies.

[/ QUOTE ] I agree lets get back to the game. I really think this team has the ability to go out and win three in a row at home but I am not saying they will. What do yall think about MLB making them keep the roof open?

Stro's want it closed and have played 85% (in their words) of their games closed this year. They feel it gives them a greater advantage (loudness, temperature control, whatever). MLB is forcing them to open it for the games. WTF? Has MLB given the reasons that it needs to be opened? And why haven't they been forced to open it during earlier rounds of the playoffs, just all of the sudden now the must? I would be pissed if I were a die hard Houston fan. They have done this before though, forced the Diamondbacks to open their roof a few years ago.

Re: *****Official Astros-White Sox World Series Thread*****
Yeah I think it is garbage. I think they said they wanted it open to get blimp shots. If I was Drayton McClane I would close it this afternoon and then tell them it seems to be stuck. What would they do? Not have the game. As far as I am concerned it is our stadium we should be able to do what the hell we want.

[ QUOTE ] There should be an asterik in the record book for 2005 -- *Played With Blind Umpires. [/ QUOTE ] [/ QUOTE ] I can't agree with this any more. In all the history of MLB never has there been a World Series with a bad call by an umpire. Not once, ever.
