We are in the world series.  What else can you say?  A no-name team, with a stingy budget made it.  Ted Korbos has truly removed the curse. 

Sincerely,

Hate to differ.  But Houston has a starting staff equal to the Sox.  Second, St. Louis is hurting right now, with injuries riddled through their lineup.  Let's root for the Cardinals.  Trust me.

We do have a kindred relationship with the Cards, don't forget Tony Laroooosa,
and many Card fans are Sox fans since they hate the Chubs so deeply

Tony LaRussa PLAYED for the Cubs (in his VERY short major league career). I highly doubt he gets caught up in the nonsensical inferiority complex prevalent on the South Side. In fact, I would venture to say that he has more vitriol stored up with respect to Reinsdorf & Co. than the Cubs.

Enjoy the World Series and stop being such a pansy!!!

La Russa isn't pissed at Reinsdorf, Hawk is the guy that chased him out of town. We'd have been in the Series 10 years ago if that knucklehead had never been GM.

I agree with Paul (for the 2nd time!!!)  Houston's pitchers are real good and Clemens is a madman.  Did you see the 60 minutes piece on him a few years ago?  I'm rooting for the Cards.

After that top of the 9th rally tonight, the Cards are riding some high-volume momentum.  It'll be interesting to see how the series finishes up in St. L.  

I don't care as long as it ends in 7 games... 

I see Paul's point about the Cards, but the offense still worries me. (see: last nite, top of the ninth)  The Sox pitching is hot and I see STL comparable to BOS.  Advantage SOX.

But, I don't think HOU's pitching is all that great.  Pettitte is done, that leaves Clemens and Oswalt.  The bull pen is shaky and I've not been impressed with Lidge yet.  If Atlanta had any bats they would have beat him in game 5 of the NLDS.  I see HOU comparable to LAA.  Advantage SOX.

Add into that a 7 game grind...

We now have the matchup most unfavorable.  An equal pithcing staff.  My dollars stil ride on the pale hose.  Defense wins championships. Edge:  White Sox.

Keep in mind the "big sticks" of Houston couldn't win it in 17.... no, no, no, it took 18 innings to go to the NLCS.  And that was a fluke home run against Atlanta's piss poor bull pen.

My ouija board says that won't happen again.

Clemens is old.  Pettitte is old.  Oswalt only lasted 7 innings.  7!   Seven isn't nine.

Ouija says... wait... say it ain't so buck... say it ain't so...

The Sox are hungry, we dont have any overpaid crybabies (even Frank came
around). They play the game hard and smart, your heart will be in your throat many times
however I predict....

Sox in five
