And that sigh you heard was from the Fox execs
When they realized that the WS matchup is going to be the Houston Astros and Chicago White Sox. Granted, Chicago and Houston are the third and fourth most populated cities in the United States but neither team amounts to a hill of beans for national attention. I'll watch, as most of you will, because I love baseball and have never missed a WS. That said, this could be one of the lowest rated WS in quite some time. Not that I care.
* Yes, I am giving the NLCS to Houston. If St. Louis can sweep three games in which they will face Pettitte, Oswalt & Clemens - I will eat all the crow you can feed me.

1. Your math does not compute.
2. There is no law written stating NY or LA must be involved for people to watch.
3. The other networks throw their arms up months in advance by opting to go with reruns, or shit programming in the time slots.
4. Its the fucking World Series. People pay a buck a square, therefore they watch.

5. What you should have said is......... "And that sigh you heard was from the Fox execs" who were pissed the play-off ratings went to shit. ALCS over in 5 games, and more than likely NLCS over in 5 as well.
FTFY

I think they should probably vote a share for Vlad, too.Rich Fader wrote:Congratulations to Doug Eddings, 2005 American League MVP. If the Sox win the Series and don't vote that mensa a share, they're ungrateful pricks.

Red Sox fan here!!
I liked the idea of the White Sox winning it since they haven't won since 1917! (Although they should have won in 1919!)
but that CALL in Game 2, left me with a sour taste! I have to give props to the Sox for taking advantage but it still tainted this series and will taint their World Series, if they win!!
The Cardinals have Tony LaLoser as their coach, so they don't stand a chance, even though the team is World Series worthy!!
The Astros are also a great story..They have never won a World Series!!
Hell, they have never been to one!!
Clemens, Petitte, Oswalt, Lidge..
The Killer B's.
The Astros winning the World Series would be the BEST STORY!! and so far, no taintage!!
The Killer B's and the Killer K's-- Burger King should pick up on this RIGHT NOW!!
and get rid of the hideous, stalker Burger King that is plaguing television these days!!
(okay maybe the word killer might be bad for business but it couldn't be worse than that plastic faced King freak!)- but I digress...
I'm picking the ASTROS!!
There, I said it--
Houston Astros in 6!!
I will be listening on my Boombox!!
while I work!

Fu, Clemens and Pettitte will command major attention. Hell, they will get so much run I can see the whining and bitching about Fox threads already.

And the last thing we need in the White House, in the oval office, behind that big desk, is some chicken who wants to push this yellow button.
You are a total cunt. The umps didn't screw the Angels. What catcher doesn't tag a runner on 3rd strike NEAR the dirt... just to be sure??? Oh yeah... some scrub catcher who never plays... that's who.Cross Traffic wrote:Props to the umps for changing the entire face of the series.
It's not as if the Angels WERE WINNING THE GAME at the time the call was made either. The game wasn't "over" after the "bad call" was made. A couple of things still happened. Did the umps "let" dude steal second base, or "make" the Angels hang a curve ball to Crede? You are without a doubt, the smelliest and moistest snatch ever to disgrace this board. Go douche yourself.

battle of the titans for the title. rack the fuck out of ozzie and rack the fuck out of joe crede THE FUCKING MONEY MAN (along with AJ).
Props to your Sox, Screw...I hope you lived it up last night. That bogus call in Game 2 became a distant memory with their play in the three games in Anaheim. They won that series...period. They've returned to what made them successful for the majority of the season...great starting pitching and getting contributions from different guys in the lineup every night. Not to look too far ahead but White Sox-Astros would be a pitching lover's wet dream.

Very. Fucking. True.
RACK my girl for knowing what was up and giving me the best blowjob and swallow i've had in quite a few years. It definitely took the edge off and made the day more bearable.
RACK the white sux.
UNRACK the pussy ass yankee fans who are bleeding, whiny cunts. No matter what happens, the Angels fucking PWN you bitches.

Instead of a Yankee lineup based soley on swinging for the fences on every pitch, it will be refreshing to see some hit n runs, sac bunts, dps, solid pitching, you know, some actual baseball strategy and fundamentals.
