No matter who we play it is going to be a tough series. It doesn't matter who we face IMO. Yes the Astros pitching is awesome, BUT so is ours. Yes St. Louis has an awesome offense. But didn't we already shut down the scariest offense in baseball? (Boston that is) No matter who we face, it will be a tough series. Who ever it is: May the better team be the World Champion!

anyone have luck? i am pretty pissed off right now

To everyone on Soxtalk. To all the White Sox nation! We DID IT! WE ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!! If i'm dreaming, please dont wake me up!! Is this heaven?!?!?! 4 more wins baby!!!!!! I LOVE YOU ALL!

I like the chances of Jose C to continue where he left off in game 1. He settled down after the Angels took a 3-0 lead early on. The key is to give him the early lead this time. After a 2nd time around I don't see how we cant hit this Byrd guy. He throws a lot of junk- the key is for our hitters to wait for his fast ball and let it loose. Could it be 4 straight complete games? It can happen. LETS GET IT STARTED! I LIVE FOR THIS! 1 more win!

I think we can hit Santana. The key vs him is laying off his off-speed pitches that sink into the dirt. If our hitters can do that and look for that fastball- I think we can get off to an early start like we did last nite with that 3 spot. GO WHITE SOX! I LIVE FOR THIS!

Jon Garland- I LOVE YOU MAN! Hell yea! What a performance.

My respect grew for Rhino when he picked us to win the wildcard. Nobody else picked us to go anywhere but him. And this article only raises my level of respect for him. White Sox Nation Congrats Rhino for making it to the hall of fame!

"still he has been great here although I miss Olivo " Are you serious? Sure Olivo was a great guy, but that Olivo and Reed for Garcia was the best thing that happened to this team. We get a solid starter, and then we go out and sign a solid catcher. Lets see- Olivo and Schoenweise or A.J. and Garcia... hmmm

Thats why this town has WSCR 670 the score! Don't listen to that national afternoon crap! Who cares what ESPN says anyways. We know whats best.

Fans here in Chicago love A.J. I expect KW to sign him to a 3 year extension after the season. And who says Polish people were dumb? That was the most brilliant thing I have ever seen a baseball player do for this town! THANK YOU A.J.! I will eat a peirogi for you tonite!!

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Oct 14, 2005 -> 04:33 PM) IF we take 2 out west, we are as good as "in" with the World Series, IMO. But I have a feeling we will get one win. Now, there is the obvious side of me pulling for a sweep out there...but ya know...I think that is just a weird dream. Ideally though it would be to win two out there and then win game 6. The city of Chicago would go crazy! If we can some how win 2 of 3 out in Anahiem and pull out a win in game 6 of game 7 to advance to the WS. I think the city would go more than crazy. Remember the '92 finals when the Bulls won it in Chicago? I think it would be 10 times more crazier than that. In '92 the fans overturned taxis. If we clinch the AL pennant this year fans will overturn the loop, the redline, buildings, cars, and more... It would be true pandamonium!! Chicago wants this bad! Sox fans have earned this! Tonites game is HUGE! Go get em Jon G. YOU CAN DO IT!!!!! I expect Pauly to have a HUGE game tonite.

The more they buy their brand new crisp sox hats, and pay for tickets and parking the more we can spend on FA in the offseason. The more bandwagon fans, the better our team will be in the long run. Yep we should more than enough money to re-sign Pauly now

Many Cub fans want to see the Sox win. However, I did notice the few 'bitter' Cub fans say that we are cheaters, that the ball hit the ground. Gimme a break. How are we cheaters? It was a SMART play by A.J. and we won the game. If anything people should blaim the umpires if they are unhappy- I just don't get how everyone thinks we cheat? Anyways the series is tied 1-1 and now its the best of 5. I think we can win 2 out in Cali. This first game will be HUGE! But I expect a little more out of our offense and a solid performance out of Jon G. However it will be another close one. I think the first to score 4 wins this game.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Oct 13, 2005 -> 02:12 AM) I have seen this before. 2000 ALDS. yep it looks oh so familiar. but at least we can't get swept in 3 games this time.

:yawn: = our offense

this umpires zone is getting bigger. sure hope he calls it both ways

Its simple: WE CANT HIT SHIELDS

what kind of umping is that? WHat kind of umpire flashes a strike out like that?

here comes a pop up or a high fly to center

when was the last time Paul got a hit?

WAKE UP OFFENSE WAKE UP! PLEASE FIND A WAY TO SCORE :

Come on Mark 1 ,more big guy!!

put Carl 3rd, or Rowand. Dye belongs in the 6th or 7th hole- he obviously can't take the pressure and its costing us

f***ing s*** ass call. and now he's in the defense mode. looks like we choke at once again another important oppurtunity

do i see jerry manuel in the background of your pauly avatar soxrock? hey we had good offense in the manuel era- maybe we can get it goint now!
