HE GAWN!!

There aren't many easy wins in the playoffs.

1 big out there. Somehow need to work that double play mojo.

Will be interesting to see which Cotts shows up.

"JOOOE CREDE" -Ken "Hawk" Harrelson

Damn it can't we hit Berkman instead of Bagwell?

He's hanging the splitter, not tipping it.

Slowest. Day. Ever.

Haha Crede sure silenced his pre-ALCS critics.

Keep the pressure on Houston and their pitchers at all times. Pods has been rattling the opposition just by being on base. Anaheim sort of brought it to us during the early parts of game 1 and game 5. Houston is not as good as Anaheim in that department. Also Ausmus is not the strong thrower he used to be and considerably less than Bengie Molina. The recipe for success has already been written, we just need to execute it four more times.

You still are coming up short, Ozzie should be worried about how this team can match-up with Houston.. in 2 weeks time he can o/say what ever he wants when he holds up the WS trophy..Otherwise keep foucesd. I suddenly can't seem to remember the '59 team.

BRING IT HOUSTON!! 'Stros Sox 2005.

Pretty good Jayson Stark article on the significance of homeruns like this. Pujols is a class-act and only admired his shot as a natural reaction. If Manny Ramirez had hit that homerun, he might still be standing at home plate.

QUOTE(Allsox @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 12:24 PM) This is NOT the White Sox' fault....This isn't even Ticketmaster's fault....Too much demand and not enuff supply....That's all it is so please, don't bring this up at the Seminars at Sox Fest cuz they won't be able to help or offer advice.... Lottery. At least then you don't THINK you are 2 minutes away from getting a ticket. And don't have to worry about a slow server when you are submitting your CC number as your tickets get released.

Wait, so who on this site DID get tickets?? Anybody?

f*** this whole process. Give me a lottery over this bulls*** false hope "2 minute" waits.

Doubt anyone is getting through now.

These security images are taking forever to load.

QUOTE(BlackBetsy @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 11:28 PM) Pujols homer would have gone to Mars if it wasn't for the dome. He slaughtered it....murdered it....shattered it.....destroyed it. Can anyone think of a more dramatic home run to save a team from elimination? Gibson's home run won Game 1, that's all. October 12, 1986: One loss away from elimination and trailing 5–2 entering the 9th, the Red Sox stage one of the most improbable comebacks in post-season history winning 7–6 over the Angels in 11 innings. After Don Baylor's 9th-inning home run reduces the deficit to 5–4, reserve outfielder Dave Henderson slugs a 2-out, 2-run home run off Donnie Moore to give Boston a 6–5 lead. California ties the score with a run in the bottom of the 9th but Henderson, who had appeared to be the goat when he dropped Bobby Grich's long fly ball over the fence for a home run in the 7th inning, delivers a sacrifice fly in the 11th for the winning run. This comes pretty damn close even though California did tie it in the bottom of the 9th.

I have nothing against the Astros and actually feel for their fans but I love watching a team rip another's hearts out on the road like that. The Astro fans look like Cub fans two years ago in the 8th inning of game 6.

Cubs were 5 outs away which is far by comparison to being ONE STRIKE AWAY until Eckstein hits that little seeing eye single to the left side. This is what it's all about. Lidge's confidence has to be shattered. Shades of Donnie Moore.

QUOTE(fathom @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 10:40 PM) Pujols and Berkman's homers both barely made it out of the park.

OH BABY HE DID IT!!!! WOW PUJOLS DID IT!!!!!!!!!

Lidge has certainly made these last three games interesting. Let's see what Pujols can do here.

The biggest choke in this series was the Cards bats.
