GO WHITE SOX!!
I knew they had it in them, but am a tad surprised of the sweep. They did everything right in this series though. How bout El Duque in that sixth?!
Thanks magnetonium for keeping track of the points. I didnt realize you were doing anything like this until now. |

WHITE SOX!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes it is about time my team comes through with a postseason win. I am too surprised that they swept them but they just outplayed Boston every step of the way. |

well...yankees really let that one get away.
ing johnson...bah! In the old days, that would have been a 6-5 victory but the yank's pitching just isn't there. I think they can force game 5, but after that, who knows. They aren't good enough to beat the White Sox anyway. |

this is an interesting scenario now that the red sox failed to perform.
the white sox in the championship series against either the angels or yankees. the yankees really got hammered tonight. i don't know. if the yankees pull the next two games, then they really had to dig deep to win those games.
but imo, if the white sox plays the angels, angels in 6 .. yankees play white sox, white sox in 7. |

Ummm... the Yankees and Red Sox are both leagues better than the White Sox. Obviously, it didn't show here. But it will next year when the White Sox can't even finish higher than 3rd in their division. :p
White Sox v Yankees = Yankees
White Sox v. Angels = Angels
Just my opinion. Though... as a fan, I'd love to see the White Sox win the whole thing despite my hatred for them. Basically, I'd like to see the win only because I know they won't be there next year.
But... to clarify, I still pick the Braves to win the whole thing. |

Angels will advance and beat the White Sox.
I was kind of surprise to see the Red sox get swept. i wouldve expected at least 4 games in the series.... |

It seems like Astros have this series again. Braves bullpen gives up about 4 runs a game lately - at this pace they wont even beat the lowly Devil Rays. Its over ... I am a bit ashamed for my team. How could they not resolve this bullpen problem before the start of playoffs??? During the last week of the regular seasons bullpen was horrible. Sigh ... another disappointing season for my Braves. :whip: |

I still believe, I just cant believe the bullpen has been so horrible.
Anyhow, yesterday Astros took a 2-1 series lead over Braves, and Cardinals swept Padres in 3. Dj Smitty20, Eddie N MIAMI, Magnetonium, Member of X, Protege get an extra point for picking the series sweep correctly.

| Looks like your bullpen have another chance to see if they can hold this lead. LaRoche grand slam! |

Haha! Farnsworth just gave up a GRAND SLAM in the 8th to make it only a 6-5 Braves lead! :disbelief :whip: Yet ANOTHER 4-run bullpen misfortunes. We'll see if Braves can hold on. I am trying to be optimistic, cause Hudson's short rest 7 inning outing may result in him not being very effective in next series.
We'll see, we'll see ... |
