Obviously, peckerhead. But that's certainly not the same. AndI'm sure Jenks isn't throwing 40+ pitches in those simulated games like he may have to in the WS.

I don't think it's the ideal scenario but I think in the end it won't be the reason for them losing or winning. Their starters will be the biggest difference in my opinion, either good or bad. They look awfully sharp so far.

I also think the ChiSox have caught lightning in a bottle this year and will be difficult to repeat their performance next year. Yet I definitely pulling for them to win the series.

I feel like history is repeating itself... all of a sudden teams that havent won since the early 1900's are winning in the early 2000's (so far)... its a hell of a coincidence.

Totally agree on all. I do not see them even making the playoffs next year. Though, I don't see Cleveland having a bullpen as good as they had this year either.

Still see the Indians winning that division next year (nevermind that I've been picking them to win the Central for 3 years now).

The Red Sox... and who else? Certainly not the Cubs. And it's not much of a coincidence even if the White Sox win. The Red Sox have been perenially good for must of the history of the Majors. The Cubs usually field a very competitive team. The White Sox do seem to have just lucked out a lot this year.

Who knows, gotta let some time fly before I can really say that its a coincidence...

Anyway, this WS is gonna be quite interesting... definitely a pitching dual. Congrats to the state of Texas for finally producing a team that made it to the big game.


Now, onto the real issue, Lee Mazzilli potentially in pin stripes? Discuss...

I believe he knows talent when he sees it and will do a better job than Mel.

First off... it's Leo Mazzone, not Lee Mazilli. Lee Mazilli is the former Met player/Yankee coach/Orioles manager. He'll probably be your bench coach again.

Leo Mazzone, on the other hand, is the great pitching coach of these great Braves teams. And, unfortunately for you and fortunately for me, he will be the Orioles pitching coach next year. Never thought I'd ever care about a pitching coach leaving a team. Now... if only someone can pry Schuerholz away from the Braves next...

Yea, whatever, I knew I screwed up the name after it was sitting in my head... they are too alike, lol.

I dont know man, Steinbrenner has a pretty fat wallet, and we all know... when it comes to winning, there is no expense George wont pay to keep winning.

Steinbrenner has nothing to do with it. Mazonne's going to Baltimore as reported by The Sporting News earlier this evening.

And Joe Girardi is going to be the manager of the Marlins.

Lameeeeeeeeeee...

Yank's need a fucking pitching coach, talk about beating a dead horse... the bullpen wasnt all that immaculate in the first place. They need to let these old people go and retire, and go scout some young stud's.

Jenks has an absolute cannon of an arm.

Bobby Jenks, meet Tommy John. TJ, Bobby Jenks. Let's be friends!

wow, walkoff homer by Podsednik in Game 2... everything's going right for the White Sox
Astros have to beat not only the ChiSox but the baseball gods

I thought it was pretty much over after Konerko's grand slam. Too bad I had to leave before the end of the game, and before the Astros came back, to set the stage for Scottie.

It's interesting waking up in the morning to see the games, broadcasted on ESPN over in Asia. They also replay the broadcasts once or twice later on in the day.

konerko's grand slam pretty much said to houston, i don't care who you are bringing in, i'm swinging at the first pitch and im gonna swing hard.

that was a SHOT by konerko...seriously a belt!

i admit, i was up watching till the walk off - now thats some good baseball


oh and lets not forget the clutch hit by Jose Vizcaino, great contact hitter, definitely not my first choice off the bench, however he was the right guy to deliver in that situation...

god i love this game

What a great postseason game last night, all the elements of a classic

If you thought it couldn't get better than Game 2... Astros with another marathon game, breaking yet another Mets record - this one for longest World Series game by time, which was previously set in 2000 WS Game 1
They also tied the 1916 record for most innings, but ChiSox won a stunner to take a 3-0 lead

The only positive thing about a sweep would be that at least its over and we can move on to the Off Season. I heard that this is the lowest rated World Series since 2000.

you mean 2002?

2002 World Series has the lowest TV ratings of all time

It's funny because you'd expect that with a team that hasn't won the WS since 1917 and a team that has NEVER been in a WS, that people would want to watch.

But last night i was at Buffalo Wild Wings (sports bar, with multiple TVs), and only 1 bigscreen had the WS, the other channels were showing the World Series of Poker. My friend and I arrived early to get a table b/c we figured the place would fill up. It was half-full all night, and we left during the 3rd inning.

Going out our car I was lamenting about the lack of patronage, considering it's the World Series. My friend pretty much nailed it on the head when he said "well no one cares about Astros or ChiSox... it's only when Boston or New York (yankees) play that the place gets packed."

too bad there arent' more ppl watching, because the games have been great. i wonder how the ratings in Chicago are.

a win tonight and the ChiSox match the BoSox record of 8 straight postseason wins last year.
If they go on to win, it would be tough to pick the WS MVP

Post-season MVPs are so dumb and worthless. How Foulke didn't get it for the ALCS and WS is beyond me...

Originally posted by pvd420 you know what...at this point does it matter how many runs the white sox score in this game...i hope they blew their load here and dont score at all the rest of the series...besides any team that can come back from down 0-3 to the yankees wont be scared by this loss...

they sure blew their load all the way to the world series title

Another sweep for the AL team

Congrats to the White Sox for winning their first title since 1917, breaking the curse of the Black Sox
Shoeless Joe Jackson can now rest in peace

It was truly amazing run where all the stars were aligned. They'll be good next year, but I don't think they'll repeat this kind of magic. I think it was a once-in-a-generation kind of run for them.

Cubs vs. Indians in the World Series next year!

Hopefully vlad's hibernates into the winter and doesnt poat in another baseball thread till next October
