OK, now that my beloved Dodgers got pancaked by the Cardinals steamroller , I can relax & enjoy the rest of the playoffs & World Serious. A few thoughts on same.... 1) I'm rooting for the Sawks in the AL, primarily because I HATE the Yankees with the passion of the guy in Damn Yankees. Even though my all-time baseball hero is Mickey Mantle (being a child of the 50s/60s), the current bunch is an all-star team purchased with cable TV revenue. Plus, the Sawks need a break from the bezbol gods.... 2) The Cards look unbeatable, but so did the A's in '88 until they ran into Gibson's home run. Houston is on a roll that began late in the season. This could be a GR8 series.... 3) Prediction: Sawks vs Cards in WS....
I'm with you ssgtmax. I hate the Yankees too and I'm rooting for the Red Sox! I think the Astros vs the Sox would make a great World Series.
The Astros broke a jinx this year. They finally won a playoff series. If they were to beat the Cardinals, it would be a major upset. Go 'stros anyway!!
Amen! Two series that were duller than a John Kerry speech have turned into real barn-burners. There's definitely "no quit" in da Sawks or da 'Stros. Baseball @ its best....even if they're not "your" team.
Waaah! Whoooo! The Red Sox humiliated those hated Yankees! The Sox may be a scruffy looking bunch, but they have heart. Go Sox!!!
Amazing comeback for the Sox. Now if the can Astros just win one cottonpicking money game, I will be happy.
Mucho congrats to da Sox! Absolutely unbelievable, improbable, impossible comeback. And God bless all 4 teams for making these the most interesting LCS moments in....well....forever. For your sake, Ronjor, I hope Clemens has his "A" game with him tonight.
Sox connection I thought Houston had it last night. Not meant to be I give them an A+ for their already amazing comeback this year.
Yeh, the Astros did good. I was rooting for them too, but it wasn't to be. It should be a good World Series anyway.
Dem Sawks finally beat the curse! I can't believe they took it from the Cards in only four games. It would have been more interesting if they had to go the whole seven games.
After losing Game 3 of the ALCS 19-8, da Sawks proceeded to take 8 GAMES IN A ROW from the Yanks & Cards, arguably the 2 best teams in baseball this year. Amazing! I've never seen anything like it in team sports before now. GR8 finish to a fun season....
I checked with the math wizards down the road @ Cal Tech. They calculated the odds @ 3.19158 bazillion to 1. In other words, about the same chance as me growin' hair again on my head again.... (Yikes....maybe there's hope!!)
