KevHead0881 Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Oct 19, 2005 -> 10:31 PM) What do you mean? I think they've been pretty classy so far. Did I miss something? They weren't being jerks or anything. They were just chanting "Lets go Cardinals" while the Astros were celebrating. It was actually kinda funny.

SoxAce Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 If I were a Cards fan I'd stay too knowing that Busch stadium won't be around next season and it holds alot of baseball memories there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They key with Clemens is to make him throw a lot of pitches. He WILL get tired. He hasn't been going past the 6th inning of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pods70Rowand33 Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I just found out tonight that I'm going to games 1,6,7. What a nice surprise at 9:00PM. I'm so excited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Ok so lets get the lowdown on Roger Clemens. Away splits, 1.32 ERA with a .191 BAA. Gulp. Night games, his ERA is .77 worse than day games at 2.10. Outdoors he has a 1.52 ERA. Gulp again. In September though, he had a 5.40 ERA with a .292 BAA. He just wasn't K'ing batters that month as he had only had 13 in 4 games started, way below the usual norm. He's not good with RISP with 2 outs, 12.23 ERA there. 5.87 ERA with RISP, which is pretty good compared to other pitchers. Looking at his pitch counts, if there's a slight weakness, it's his starts. ERA's of 2.63, 2.40 and 2.21 from 0 to 15 - 30 - 45. So we need to get on him nice and early, because after that well he's pretty damn good. Looking at our hitters against him, Jermaine Dye is 6 for 18, Joe Crede 3 for 5 with 2 HR's, Paul Konerko 8 for 18 with 5 doubles, Pods 5 for 14. Pierz, Everett don't have good numbers, Uribe is 1 for 2, while Rowand's never faced him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 So.. the Sox will be up 2-0 through 6 vs Clemens then. Houston's BP has seen quite a bit of work. It can easily be a 5-2 White Sox winner in game 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 One of the neat things about this World Series is no matter what happens, one team is breaking a really long Series drought. The White Sox haven't won a WS since 1917 and this is the Astros first appearence ever in a WS. This is going to be fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW.. and OT, when is that last time the 2 teams with the best records in each league played in the WS..? I wanted the Cards for that reason.
