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

[Kay]

Drat.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Wow. Podsednik? Are you kidding?

[UK1679666180]

Amazing, nice job by Podsednik.

[Outshined_One]

OutshinedOne127: I'm really not as high on the Astros' BP as most other people

OutshinedOne127: Especially Lidge

DuhGreat1: Lidge is money

DuhGreat1: one pitch

DuhGreat1: does not mean he sucks

OutshinedOne127: I've seen him blow three saves against the Cubs in the past two years

DuhGreat1: so

OutshinedOne127: Maybe four...

OutshinedOne127: Can't remember precisely

DuhGreat1: Mo has blown like 7 vs. the Sox

DuhGreat1: does that mean he's not good?

OutshinedOne127: Yes, but before then, Mo had a history

OutshinedOne127: Lidge never had much of a history against the Cubs in save/win situations

DuhGreat1: Lidge had oneof the most dominant post seasons ever by a reliever last year

OutshinedOne127: Correct, but I know how this guy ticks

DuhGreat1: and was money all season in the roll

DuhGreat1: role

OutshinedOne127: He knows certain guys kill him

OutshinedOne127: And he lets it get to him

DuhGreat1: unreal

OutshinedOne127: Was that

OutshinedOne127: no *bleeping* way

DuhGreat1: yup

OutshinedOne127: what the crap

DuhGreat1: yeah

 

Somehow, it was destiny.

Amazing, nice job by Podsednik.

 

Sox fans are going to be insufferable for decades.

[stitchface]

I hate to quote tim mccarver but "how do these things happen?" is a great line right there.

[sethuel1]

I think I'll stay inside for the next several years.

[Exile on Waveland]

Seriously, Pods deep off of Lidge? This is ridiculous.

[reggiemiller rules]

Lidge is just done, even his last 2 performances before the Pujols hr he did not look very good. Now he has given up HRs in the last 2 games to lose. I would use Qualls in the 9th if i was Garner from here out.

[CardsFanInChiTown]

Looks like the Championship is coming to Chicago...

glad I don't live in chicago. y'all better hope the cubs get their act together quickly.

Yeah, that and Rowand saying "No way" over and over again in the dugout as he watched the ball fly out of the yard was classic.

The one's that are insufferable aren't worth my time and are destined for sports talk radio banter.

 

Simply b/c I try to be better than them.

Agreed. Luckily I live near Detroit where all the teams pretty much suck (except for the Red Wings, but come on, who really cares).

 

Edit: Forgot about the Pistons. Don't really mind them winning all that much.

Byung-Hyun Kim anyone?

[UMFan83]

How does everything work out perfectly all year for a franchise who nothing has worked out for over the past 90 years?

 

And why wasn't that team the Cubs?

I think I'll stay inside for the next several years.

 

I suddenly feel sick..

No school for me tomorrow..

Good ol' Q.

[J.R.]

What a vile turn of events. My hatred is blossoming ...

[sandberg23]

:pukel: It is really getting unbearable living with my dad right now. It's funny, though, he only updates me on the game when the Sox do something good. He was quite the entire time the Astros were winning.

[rocket]

it's pretty obvious the white sox are going to sweep the astros

[CaliforniaRaisin]

it's pretty obvious the white sox are going to sweep the astros

 

Yeah, even Roy Oswalt can't stop that.

i know. he'll probably pitch a phenomenal game too. but it doesn't matter.
