I still don't know what 3 outfielders are going to win GGs this year in the AL. Last years winner; Wells, Ichiro and Hunter would be the favorites for this year as well I guess. Since Torii missed so much damn time this year due to injury I doubt he'll get much consideration for a GG, so his spot opens. This makes Wells and Ichiro near locks to win again this year but a spot is open and I can't really think of another name that jumps out at me. I guess maybe Kotsay and Rowand might battle it out for the 3rd spot.

Why would the Sox have Billy Pierce throw out the first pitch of the World Series game 1 if he already threw out the first pitch for game 1 of the ALCS? That is incredibly lame.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Oct 19, 2005 -> 12:17 PM) I agree. But for this season, Vernon Wells' defensive numbers are arguably better than Rowand's and he has the offensive numbers as well. and.?.?.?

QUOTE(retro1983hat @ Oct 19, 2005 -> 12:13 PM) What I would really like and I don't think it's anywhere, is the video montage with music from the beginning of the game which flows into Thunderstruck and player intros. Everyone from Roeper to Bob Sirott to Lawrence Holmes has been raving about it. Too bad the Sox don't put it on their website or show it on TV. Not gonna happen. Copyright laws kill any chance of it.

There is no trick in photoshop, it envolves other outside sources that shall never be spoken of.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Oct 19, 2005 -> 12:39 AM) Well I guess if your doing it with a hooker or something.... But if you have a girlfriend and you plan to have any type of sex dont you think you should know if she has and std's or something of the sort. And if she does I wouldnt want to do it even with a condom not worth the risk. What about the girl? Assuming she is your girlfriend, she still doesn't know, you could be screwing around behind her back or have caught something and not know it. There's a lot of people out there who have venereal diseases and don't know it.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Oct 19, 2005 -> 04:07 AM) The beginning of November. You don't think Rowand has a chance, do you? They only pick guys with good offensive numbers. Vernon Wells will win it again anyways. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/stats/fieldi...umn=fieldingPct Rowand's offensive numbers would be good enough to win a gold glove if he played for the Yankees. He's not popular enough to get that kind of recognition, next year he'll have a shot after a few more people learn his name.

I don't hate the Twins. It'd be cool to see an AL Central team win the World Series, it would give this division some well deserved respects.

Just about every team's hometown fans dislike the manager or tend to be extremely over critical of him. It stems from watching every damn game of the season and having the oportunity to 2nd or 1st guess every move a manager makes during a game. Did you know a lot of Braves fans are upset with Bobby Cox for only winning 1 world series over the 14 seasons they've been in the playoffs? It's true. The managers that we see as being great and would love to have them managing our team are heavily scrutinized and in a lot of cases disliked by that team's fans.

When do they announce the Gold Glove winners?

I made this a few months ago, it's never seen the light of day. I found it today when I was reorganizing my laptop. Figured I'd share it.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 11:24 PM) Before tonight's game, the Astros were 81-1 when leading after 8 innings this season. The only game the Astros lost was the save that Lidge blew against the Cubs in the last series of the season between the two teams. Why would Bagwell need to throw if he was DH'ing? I'm just saying he can't do any of those things, if he can't hit or run he's pretty useless as a DH. No way in hell he starts any games if they make the World Series.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 11:19 PM) And Jeff Bagwell could DH during the games at the Cell. It wouldn't be fun facing Frank Thomas' white clone. Who can't run, throw or hit anymore.

Astros. It's tough to beat both Clemens and Oswalt, especially when you're as beat up as the Cardinals are.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 11:09 PM) The most surprising part of that game for me was when they showed the time for game 1 of the series and they had the White Sox symbol on the right side. All I could think was, "Wow, Sox are in the series." That homer by Pujols...it seemed secondary. I'm already starting to get nervous. This is just remarkable, I don't really know how to act.

Seriously, did anyone NOT expect Pujols to hit a home run in that situation? It was just setup too perfectly.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 10:52 PM) Pujols' homer was crushed. It bounced off the railroad tracks way high up there on a hard line. I don't think you're grasping the concept.

QUOTE(Antonio Osuna @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 10:50 PM) Astros in 7, please. I don't want to face Pujols. Pujols is one man The Cards are old and injured, the 'stros are young and hungry with a killer big three in that pitching staff. If the Cards do end comming back and winning this thing in 7 it could give them a s***load of momentum comming into Saturday's game. I'm hoping for 7 games, it's kind of a tossup as to who I would rather play.

Albert Pujols is the closest thing we have right now to a baseball god. I love watching this guy play, there is noone in baseball I would rather watch. Not to mention the fact that Pujols is a standup guy.
