October 17, 200520 yr ...... thanks sox pitching... Vladdy's best hits of this series were in that dumb pepsi commercial!!!!!!
October 17, 200520 yr I can't believe we completely dominated Vladdy like that, that was a big key. This staff is ridiculous..
October 17, 200520 yr Speaking of Vladdy, I dunno if you guys have seen this, but Tom Verducci had this article on him recently: "Where's your Vladdy?" (After game 4) http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylt=AnXF...cnnsi&type=lgns He also had a good one about Sox ptiching: "Complete command" (After game 3) http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=cnns...cnnsi&type=lgns Of the 94 batters they faced, the Chicago starting pitchers: • went to a 2-0 count on only seven batters. • went to any three-ball count only 10 times. • threw a first-pitch strike 64 percent of the time. • allowed only three hits to the 24 hitters who came up with a runner on base.
October 17, 200520 yr THE ANGELS HIT EXACTLY .175 AGAINST US THIS SERIES. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS THE BEST PITCHING STAFF IN BASEBALL HISTORY OR IN SOX HISTORY. BUT IT'S THE BEST PITCHING STAFF I HAVE EVER WATCHED. BY A LONG SHOT.
October 17, 200520 yr It's like this was the old days, the Baltimore staff of the 60s or 70s or whenever the heck those four starters of theirs (Palmer, McNally, etc.) were dominant. I was amazing at how incredible Jose was tonight in the 8th and 9th. Nasty stuff. He probably coulda pitched 12 innings!
October 17, 200520 yr Like PK said, this really goes out to the four aces we had going for us. This was definitley a team effort with our pitching, PK, CREDE and all the rest who made it happen. GREAT job by the White Sox, 4 more to go baby and I believe they can do it!!!
October 17, 200520 yr If we win the World Series, we need to commemorate this with Chicago's own Mt. Rushmore. Build it downtown in one of the plazas. Jose, Freddie, Jon and Mark B. For Chicago relievers — make that one reliever, lefty Neal Cotts — threw a measly two-thirds of an inning in the series.
October 17, 200520 yr Hermy had the best quote during the celebration, "We only get dressed for the champagne baths." I thought that was hilarious. What an amazing display by the starting pitching!
October 17, 200520 yr HERE'S WHAT I WANT TO SEE. I WANT TO SEE THEM DRAG OUT THE TARP I WANT TO SEE THEM DUMP ABOUT 300 BOTTLES OF CHAMPAGNE ON THE TARP AND I WANT TO SEE MARK LEAD THE ENTIRE PITCHING STAFF IN A SLIP AND SLIDE ALONG IT.
October 17, 200520 yr That was the most devestating display of dominant pitching I've ever seen. This staff will go down as one of the best ever.
October 17, 200520 yr QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 12:23 AM) That was the most devestating display of dominant pitching I've ever seen. This staff will go down as one of the best ever. certainly the best sox staff ever - good lord this has been one of the coolest things i've ever watched in my life.
October 17, 200520 yr Hopefully Neal is ready to go for the series, that 2/3's of an inning might have been deadly.
October 17, 200520 yr Man, I wish that search function was enabled. You could all look up my previous posts and see that I predicted this before the season - including the four straight complete games to clinch the pennant.
October 17, 200520 yr They deserve more than my hat. I guess I can give them the shirt off my back too. Maybe some pants if they're interested. So how many pitchers will be on the World Series roster? 5 or 6?

The only line from Joe Buck I really found amusing this series, from game 4... "And Neal Cotts sits down in the bullpen telling stories of what it's like to pitch in the ALCS"
October 17, 200520 yr I saw something saying that it was the first time since sometime in the 1920s or something that 4 straight complete games have been pitched in the postseason. Wow!
