QUOTE(Texsox @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 12:28 PM) Jay has to grow some balls. To learn how, he should listen to Gammons talk about the Red Sox, or Rush talk about Reagan. That kind of criticism takes big balls. Not the crap that Jay writes. I know you like Jay but I'd still love to see Hawk just knock his ass out one day.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 12:22 PM) There will be plenty of daily passes around. Remember when someone books a room they give them 4 passes for each day, which means most people will have two extras to each day, as more rooms are booked by two people. Your best bet is to ask around here as it gets to be January. Ahh....good point. Anyone nice enough to help a rowand out.

So.... no alcs tix, no world series tix, no soxfest tix. Hooray, I'm on a roll.

Holy s***, already??? That's not good.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Oct 19, 2005 -> 11:58 PM) does anyone see a little LaRussa in Oz? I wonder where you got that idea from. :rolly

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Oct 19, 2005 -> 10:32 PM) Ok let's chuck Kevin Walker out on the mound for us then. Bahaha, the aussy made a funny. You know what I mean, all the splits can be thrown out the window imo come saturday.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Oct 19, 2005 -> 10:30 PM) 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. Throw all those stats out the window, come saturday they mean nothing.

Most of these games are going to be decided by 2 runs or less so one of my key is if Taveras is in the lineup keep him off base cause he'll produce a run himself if Freddy or Jose is out there. Besides that, get Podsednik on base the way he was getting on base for the two previous series.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Oct 19, 2005 -> 09:45 PM) Huh? It's just a fun little tidbit for anybody who appreciates Sabermetrics. I understand your point and I agree that it wasn't a good trade for the cards, I'm just not much of a fan of win shares, didn't mean to sound like a jerk though, sorry if I did.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Oct 19, 2005 -> 09:43 PM) Wtf? That's very strange. Was she a Sox fan? It's a weird, weird story. She also said the stros would win 10 to 2 that day and they did.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Oct 19, 2005 -> 09:37 PM) Haren win shares = 15 Calero win shares = 5 Mulder win shares = 12 Net win shares lost = 8 Net salary added in '05 = $5,896,500 WHOOPS! I'm sure Jocketty cares so much about win shares.

QUOTE(FlaCWS @ Oct 19, 2005 -> 09:36 PM) My only concern is this: Minute Maid is very similar to the Cell, and we've been much better all season when playing on the road in a bigger ballpark. Busch would've been a better fit for us. I still think we are a slightly better team than Houston, but I'm definitely more concerned about them than I would've been about the Cardinals. But hey, that's why they play the games. Bring it on. The good thing is a lot of the balls paul just misses will get out at houston. Who knows how that park is going to play for us, we'll find out though.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Oct 19, 2005 -> 09:34 PM) wow this makes me nervous and I dont know why Cause we have an oppenent now. I just got nervous as well, I also got nervous right when the angels beat the yankees. Just how I am I guess.

This figures to be a ridiculously low scoring series, so because of this I'm sure we have a high scoring series on our hands.

Stros.

Ok, now they can do that.

With two outs in the bottom of the 9th, fox already puts up Astros at White Sox on saturday.

QUOTE(whitesoxin' @ Oct 19, 2005 -> 08:36 PM) I agree. MJ was a great role model. Not so much.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Oct 19, 2005 -> 08:18 PM) God, get a room. :rolly What hotel are you and Caruso staying at?

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Oct 19, 2005 -> 08:11 PM) I wouldn't be so sure about that one. /awaits rowand blah blah 50% blah blah Well played willie, well played.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Oct 19, 2005 -> 08:09 PM) FWIW, Rowand still believes in the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus too. So?

I truely believe Joe will be a fantastic manager.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Oct 19, 2005 -> 08:03 PM) Cards got f***ed. It cost them 1st and second with 2 outs and Edmonds up. That would have been the situation if they hadn't blown the call. You get the feeling that its getting late early for the Cardinals Real tough call though, there is no way the ump could have seen that.
