Sox

 

[Lestat]

All in Sox. Went to high school with Jermain Dye.

 

[Becoming]

My grandfather used to take me to old comiskey all the time when I was a kid.

I hope the sox win for my grandfather.

 

[slat1]

*WARNING*
I took Houston.

 

[Ish]

Sox in 4

 

[Spartacus]

this is going to be a great series
I expect it to go 7,or at least 6

 

[Whiskey]

the black sox are going to take it!! you heard be right, the black sox, as they used to be called... the sox on their uniforms aren't black by mistake

Whiskey

 

[Lestat]

lots of people like the sox!

 

[SoreArms]

I'm going with Houston

one of the cool parts of being from chicago and the chicago legacy - that the sox threw the WS....

 

[Lumberg]

this is going to be a great series

For sure!

 

[Spartacus]

houston should start oswalt in gm2 and thus be able to throw him 3 times

 

[hamstershaver]

houston is going to bend the sox over

 

[Spartacus]

houston is going to bend the sox over

hard to say
both clubs have strong starters
with the white sox having an edge on no 3 starter

that's why as hou mgr I'd run clemens,oswalt and then pettite

 

[hamstershaver]

i dont think the sox have an edge at all in starting pitching, i would give a clear edge to the astros, just because the angels had cold bats in the series doesnt give the sox an edge now

 

[hamstershaver]

pettitte 17-9 2.39 era
clemens 13-8 1.87 era
oswalt 20-12 2.94 era
and they pitch in a bandbox of a stadium and put up numbers like that

 

[Spartacus]

pettitte 17-9 2.39 era
clemens 13-8 1.87 era
oswalt 20-12 2.94 era
and they pitch in a bandbox of a stadium and put up numbers like that

I NEVER look at ERA
that's a weak stat that isn't a very good indicator of future performance
I look at K/BB ratio (control)
K/IP (dominance)
H/IP

well without even looking at those stats you know houston has the edge in that

 

[Spartacus]

contreras over clemens in game one
so now pettitte on the road in gm 2 is a heavy burden
I'd throw the young oswalt in gm 2 and thus almost for sure have a split before going to houston

 

[hamstershaver]

i dont see them throwing oswalt in game 2 no matter what happens in game one
lidge really fucked them by letting albert hit one to dallas, making oswalt pitch game 6
im not keen on the sox bats i dont understand your confidence in them beating the rocket

I actually figure tonights game as a "toss up"
I was just speculating that if chicago carrys game one
then there is going to be quite a burden on petitte

 

[Deterass]

sox

 

[Lestat]

sox

pile on

 

[Lestat]

are you going to have enough K to cover 4everhung?

 

[Spartacus]

ausmus is talking out his ass claiming he would prefer pettitte over oswalt
houston now may only win one game in this series
and that is game 3

you need the astros on this thread man

 

[Spartacus]

you need the astros on this thread man

you don't get to the "bigshow" often
fuck being "customary"
drop pettitte and pitch oswalt as often as possible
he's your horse

did you people not watch the game the other night?
oswalt was virtually unhitabble

 

[hamstershaver]

shit i forgot to bet this
hung if you make another thread real quick ill put 6gs on the astros
first pitch hasnt happened yet
you can make the deadline 8:20 or something

 

[hamstershaver]

damn its game 2 i wnat to bet not the series
offer still stands ill put down 6s on houston within the next 10 mins so it will still be legit

 

[Becoming]

go sox

[Lestat]

Sox bet is looking GREAT right about now!

 

[Whiskey]

I'm willing to bet 100,000 on the white sox right now.
Hell, i'd bet 200,000!!

[Becoming]

yeah that was just for game 2 not the series, i still cant believe they got swept

 

[Lestat]

This was a sweet pickup.

Poor 4everhung though, nearly bankrupt.

 

[Ish]

I was just glad it was over in four so we are done with baseball for a while.

Sox in 4
