But what if it repeats last year's World Series? You know, getting swept by a bunch of foot apparel?yg17 said:

Well, it will be weird in this town regardless of who the White Sox play - at least if the Cardinals are playing the Sox the Tribune will finally cover the gamesleekohler said:Gotcha! That's cool. But you have to admit, it'll be weird in this town if St. Louis goes to the World Series.
If, and that's still a big "if" at this point, the Cardinals make it to the World Series, I don't think they'll get swept again. I think the Sox will still win since they have the stronger pitching staff, but it won't be a sweep.Counterfit said:But what if it repeats last year's World Series?

If they don't, and the Sox play the Astros, then I can sit back and root for the Sox. Much less stress.
And one final one...
Yes, I have caught Sox Fever. Two and half days in Chicago and the local papers coverage of the win on Sunday has given me an appreciation of how far the White Sox has come.
After the stories I read I would be hard pressed if the Nationals were to face off with the Sox in the Series; as to who I would support in the Series. Thankfully after the Nats meltdown in the second half, I will be watching Saturday rooting for the Sox's. Doesn't matter if it is St. Louis or Houston. It is the Southside Sox's all the way for me this year. Sorry about that for any Cub's fans....

Question from oblivious girl:
Where are the games being held?
Oh geez, are any in Houston?
Ohh... no... TRAFFIC!
so where are the games being played? (most importantly, saturday's game.. I wanted to go to the Apple store and I know traffic will be #$@#!$ed if it's within a 300 mile radius of the Apple store.

This weekend the games are being played in Chicago so you have nothing to worry about...
It will be in Houston Tuesday through Thursday with games each day at 8 PM EST, so 7 you time.

really happy for craig biggio and jeff bagwell- two class acts, glad to see that they're going to get to play in a world series...
will be a pitcher's series, thats for sure- i'm betting on a low scoring series.

Cool! Now you won't be conflicted!
seems like they're going to do it... the win last night had to be a crushing defeat after houston almost came back to win it...
Has anyone noticed so far that in each series, a member of the white sox has pretended to be hit by a pitch when instant replay shows that they obviously wern't? When you're up to bat, you know for sure if, or if not you were hit by a pitch. On each occasion, they proceeded to take their base before getting the hit by pitch wave from the ump (basically, telling the ump they were hit).
I know, I know, I'm being bitter, but it really annoys me. They seem to be a good enough team that they don't need to resort to antics like this.
