January 11, 200917 yr They're promoting it as the Sox - who went wire to wire, winning 99 games and blew through the playoffs - are the underdogs to the "powerful" Astros - who just happened to barely win the wild card with 89 games. HOU - .256 161 HR 654 RBI CWS - .262 200 HR 713 RBI yeah...
January 11, 200917 yr hey, makes for a better "sell" than promoting it as "Awesome team destroys all competition and wins championship"
January 13, 200917 yr It's always amusing to see how the national media mangles stories about the Sox... Anyone see the 1.5 hour MLB show this weekend on the 1982 "Bambi's Bomber" Brewers? A pure paean to Bud Selig's team, by Bud Selig's network (albeit with not-so-flattering footage of Bud inhaling while Cecil Cooper manhugs him). It would be interesting to see them do something similar on the 05 Sox, but I'm not holding my breath.

What is the world coming to? Speaking of "Sox Pride," is there a Girls of Sox Pride calendar coming soon? Wow...I'm not sure what that girl is (maybe Asian) but she's a candidate to be the next "Kissing Bandit." Edited January 13, 200917 yr by caulfield12

Don't think so...I have the DVD set too (I watch it every winter), but this MLBN show is just 1 hour long...Suspect it will be a new take on the 05 series, especially with the comments about the "underdog Sox"...maybe, in the eyes of the national media (MLBN), since the Astros finished ahead of the mighty Cubs and then bested St. Louis, that somehow made them the favorites, versus Ozzie's "team of unknowns"...MLBN, don't blame anyone but yourself if you don't know about the White Sox!!!
January 13, 200917 yr QUOTE (Sec101Row1 @ Jan 12, 2009 -> 07:51 PM) WS Game 2 was the best game I've ever seen. I'll drink to that. I'm so lucky to have been their too.

There's the DVD box set (seven discs), and the one disc World Series DVD. They will be playing this on Friday. They actually played it several times before January 1st.
