Welcome to Hell: 2005 World Series (Sox Win 4-0)

[J.R.]

This should be fun.

[Omar]

Yup. This is almost the worst case scenario World Series for a Cubs fan. Why almost? Because its not Cards Vs. White Sox.

[Marco4]

13 hours (their time) into a marathon of the first season of 24. We're not quitting...

 

Midnight will arrive shortly.

 

:D

[ManCrushOnNomar]

I'm surprised to see Baggy bat that low in the order.

[E.J.]

Why are they playing Star Wars music during the introductions? Cheesy.

[Careless]

Wow, this introduction is making me embarassed for the white sox.

[Careless]

I'd swear what I just saw was a joke if it wasn't for all the people there

[Fred Hornkohl]

Wow, this introduction is making me embarassed for the white sox.

 

I've been embarassed that the white sox are in Chicago for years now !!

On playing the Mr. Rogers music: :loser:

[MPrior]

Did anybody see Pierzynski after that inning-ending strikeout on Berkman? He got up and tossed the ball back towards the mound BEFORE THE UMP CALLED THE STRIKE. In fact, he didn't even look back at the ump. If I were Berkman, I'd have run to first base. Not because the ump was likely to give him the call, but just to dig at AJ a bit.

Bush. League.

 

That was the most unprofessional start to a World Series ever. Perfectly befitting the most small town of all the big town sports franchises.

[Chris]

Lights in the outfield? uh oh...

[Careless]

"everybody talks about his power, few talk about his control"

Another gem.

[Chris]

But when did the Sox become cursed? I must've missed that memo my entire life.

Nice call, Joe

From the intro I'd guess either Yellow Rose of Texas or the theme to Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood.
