Hey, if the White Sox win this year, the Cubs are my pick next year no matter what!
The Yanks could sign Oswalt, Santana, Halladay, Sheets, and BJ Ryan and I'd still pick the Cubs!

hahahahaha. The only thing that i didn't like about that quote is knowing that The Boss would do it if he gets the chance. |

I've got to go with the Astro's in 6 but I admit, I'm biased and know virtually nothing about the White Sox.
The bandwagon is fully loaded in Houston. The 2 or 3 games, played in Houston, are going to be very tough for Chicago to win. I'm sure the same can be said about the Astro's chances in Chicago.
I couldn't bet against the Astro's in the game's Roy Oswalt pitches either. He's amazed me from his major league debut on. He has so much movement on his pitches, it looks like he's throwing a whiffle ball.
FYI - Standing room only tickets are going for $800+ and outfield seats are going for $1200+ for game 3. I think I'll pass...

Go Sox, looks like that bullpen wasn't too rusty. I thought it was BS from the beginning that the media was making it out to be a negative thing that they had so much rest.
Both relievers were lights out; and the Man of October Crede continues to remain hot.
Sox in 5!

I guess Clemens found out it's harder to pitch to batters in a world series game than to cowardly throw broken bats at them. Hopefully he's done for the series.

Sober? You are aware that Clemens is no stranger to the WS, yes?
And, much like people's perception of Al Gore being a liar, Clemens didn't throw a broken bat at Piazza. He picked it up, and tossed it off the field. Yes, he should have waited til the play was over, no he wasn't trying to hit him. And I don't fault him for getting in any stare down afterwards. Why? 'Cause a smart pitcher and a power pitcher like Clemens is going to use any intimidation factor to his advantage.
I'm not a Clemens appologist. He's not my favorite player by any means. But the man has had a remarkable career and has a work ethic that must be appreciated. The only other guy I know who throws that hard and for that long (Career wise) is Nolan Ryan. Another guy who wouldn't back down one bit, even if he tossed a bat and almost hit someone with it.
