Texsox Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 This series has no obvious villains and a bunch of feel good stories in both dugouts. A bunch of good citizens, no juicers, no "evil empire", and lovable players on both sides. That could explain some of the coverage and fan interest. Who would be the villain?

Though, I don't agree with it. A few fan bases label AJ as a villian. And even more surprisingly, some put Mark in that category as well. Even Ozzie is looked at in the wrong light by some fans.

The Critic Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Andy Pettitte gets on my nerves, actually. He'll always be a Yankee to me, so he joins Clemens on my "ugh" list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Very likable bunch, those Astros. If not for the White Sox, I'd be rootin' for them against any other AL team this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercy! Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Who would be the villain(s)? Why, the umpires, of course. At least, they're the usual suspects promoted by the media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That girl just NEVER gets it. Not that I'm complaining, you understand. :headshake On a related note, why can't Soxtalk have a more visible "green" font color, like the teal one WSI uses, for instance? Sometimes I just don't see the irony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
