A little different spin on things. Mostly bitter. Found this on chicagosports.com, and thought the quote "Reading this, one would think the Series went seven games." was completely appropriate.

 

The responses are great as well

AWWWWWWW...

Hehe. Definitely sour grapes.

lol Why would MLB put a lot of Astros highlights on a DVD titled "2005 World Series DVD"? They got swept.

This review has convinced me to go out and buy the DVD.

It's a great dvd.

I'm sorry, where was that rule that said the World Series runner-up was supposed to get positive coverage?

 

Win your own f***in World Series and get your own f***in DVD. This one belongs to us.

MLB, you have a problem. For some reason, you seem to think Astacio represents the Astros' bullpen. Forget constant hurlers Brad Lidge, Russ Springer, Mike Gallo or Dan Wheeler. No, MLB shows us Astacio.

 

Hey, those guys are probably on the DVD too...GETTING f***ING ROCKED.

Sure, the Chisox survived the longest World Series game in history. But the Astros already had survived the longest post-season game of any kind, ever, in MLB history, a feat briefly brushed over on this disc. Chisox, call us back when you've played nine extra innings of sudden death baseball. Until then, get over yourselves.

 

Well, maybe when they come out with an NL Division Series DVD, that information will be on it. You b****es got swept, cry me a river.

I went to the World Series statistics page to see if there was anything in the numbers that showed that any one of the pitchers he mentioned deserved to be featured on the DVD for any reason whatsoever.

And I found there really is no reason.

 

Brad Lidge, 3.2 IP 4 hits 2 runs, 2 earned runs(which both lost the game) 1 blown save 4.91 ERA

 

Russ Springer, 2 IP 2 hits 1 run, 1 ER 4.50 ERA

 

Mike Gallo 1 IP 0 H 0 runs 0 ER 0.00 ERA

 

Dan Wheeler 2 IP 3 hits 3 runs, 3 ER 13.50 ERA

 

Astacio 0.2 IP, 4 hits 2 runs, 2 ER 27.00 ERA

I definitely understand where they are coming from. When I got the DVD, I was certainly surprised that there wasn't more coverage of the Astros. I obviously didn't complain about it, but I did notice it. Hell, they followed Sox players, I'd have liked it just as much to have some behind the scenes stuff of the Astros. Seen what their locker room was like after the games and what not. But it's all good, I love the DVD, and I'm going to go pop it in right now.

Ok..lets think about this. We won the world series, who is going to buy this dvd more the Sox fans for 'Stros fans? To be honest it never even crossed my mind that the Astros would be on the dvd that much as far as behind the scenes crap goes. If they won it, I wouldn't have bought the dvd and wouldn't have expected extensive sox coverage.

I guess one thing we all can use is the Brandon Backe screaming.

(Paraphrasing Buck) "Do you think The Cardinals should have pitched Lidge in game 6 to get the taste of that Pujols home run out of his mouth?"

"I don't think that taste is there" - McCarver

"Podsednik swings and hits a high fly ball, deep left field...that ball is GONE!" -Buck

"That taste is there now" - McCarver

Right field. (Right center to be exact)

And then Willie and MB talking s*** about him.

Personally one of my favorite parts of the DVD. "Look at Backe over there trying to look tough. Mr. Tough-guy."

How awesome is it that Comcast decides to run the DVD tonite. First time I have seen it. I'm verclempt.

LOL. It was too bad that they couldn't take a hint about what the DVD would be like just by looking at the cover. But I'm positive they'll have their own season DVD coming out so no need for them to complain.

Hey, that bullpens handywork is proudly shown when PK hits his slam and Pods jacks his game winner!!
