Originally posted by Member of X Whose that one guy that is the scariest hitter in the game? The one guy who when your team is facing him and you see him on-deck in a crucial situation you're like "Uh oh!" I think obviously Poo-Holes but I'd say a tie between him and David Ortiz. Barry Bonds used to be that guy, especially that juiced up world series year. Scary! What about pitcher? For me, it's Mariano Rivera. I know he's blown a few ones but overall.. it's like Game Over when you hear "Enter Sandman." Maybe Curt Schilling as a starter but not anymore...

Actually, Bonds' 2004 was his best, most scary year, not '02. And it's undoubtedly the greatest Single-Season of all-time. His OBP without taking into account any hits, was .376. ABs/HR: 8.3 (the best besides his 2001 when they actually pitched to him... sort of). And his Isolated Power was .450 (again, the best besdies 2001 when they were still pitching to him). His OPS in '04 was 1.421 which shattered his previous years.

As for who is the most scary hitter to face... It's gotta be Pujols or Ortiz. Manny is also up there.

Pitchers... I'd say Mariano, Gagne (but he didn't pitch this year, so who knows about next), & Johan.

I just mention the world series year because it was scary during the playoffs and world series. Remember those bombs he hit off K Rod that were like 100 mph? So I'm thinking scary in the most pressure packed moment of the world series. But 2004 was his better year and most feared over the long haul, agree with ya.

looks like the 'stros and sox

yay..another historic WS


i hope it's a classic that goes to 7

I hope something awesome happens in this WS. Like a Complete Game. Or a 4 HR game. Or something awesome. A game 7 like the Mets-Angels game this year where the Mets were down 3-2 in the 9th and Marlon Ander hits an Inside-the-Park Homerun to tie it up... then Cliff hits a 3 run HR to win it in the 11th... that would be fucking dope!

o well I saw it coming today

hope the White Sox win it then

random white sox players time...Lance Johnson,Greg Luzinski,Britt Burns

dan pasqua, scott fletcher, barry jones, scott radinsky, bobby thigpen, bill melton....

Minnie Minoso, Hoyt Wilhelm, Bobby Bonilla

Dennis Lamp,Jorge Orta,Wilson Alverez, Floyd Bannister,harry Chappas,Jim Morrisson, Mike Squires,Eddie Stanky

oh and Steve Trout of course

chances are we wouldnt have made it with him since he was a clubhouse cancer. that guy did nothing but cry and complain. he still blames ozzie for his contract troubles with the team. we offered him that huge contract which would have hampered kenny williams' ability to get free agents like iguchi, dye, el duque, etc.

Months ago, I remember watching Outside the Lines on ESPN when they had a feature on Ozzie Guillen. They had an audio clip of his response to Magglio. Over half of his response got censored out.

After listening to his nice comments, he really gained my respect

Pool Standings after League Championship Series

Here are the scenarios needed for only the two participants who still have a shot at winning this thing:

dj2kTA needs White Sox to win the WS to win this pool.
Verndogs needs Astros to win the WS to win this pool.

Protege, even though he can still collect runner-up points from every White Sox win, is eliminated from winning this pool and he will finish an impressive 3rd. However, he can finish second only if White Sox manage to sweep the Astros.

In silver-ish colour are participants who have been eliminated from receiving any more points in the WS. Better luck next year!

1. dj2kTA - 66 pts (18-8)

2. verndogs - 64 pts (17-9)

3. Protege - 52 pts (16-10)

4. Magnetonium - 36 pts (10-11)
4. Member of X - 36 pts (10-11)
6. Eddie N MIAMI - 33 pts (11-10)
7. Mebot - 27 pts (10-15)
8. Acid Circus - 25 pts (9-12)
9. SlackerBoy9 - 21 pts (7-8)
10. Dj Smitty20 - 21 pts (8-13)
11. Shamez214 - 17 pts (4-11)

i think i know what you're talking about. it had something to do with magglio saying that "he's my enemy" and then ozzie went off the next day and said something like "you want an enemy, ill be your fucking enemy. mags is nothing but a piece of shit." amazingly, it was one of the few interviews he's given that doesn't need subtitles.

Ah well another year ends for the Cards. Good luck to the Astros in the WS, they may be division rivals but I'll still support them during the WS (even though a Whitesox win would get it right up the Cubbies).

Third place, thats not too bad

Go Sox!
