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

Fred, you are the man for posting this game tread stuff all season long!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Hurry up and end it fast so that we can be distracted by the hot stove, and be angry about the Cubs bringing back Burnitz and Perez.

 

I'm gonna go way out on a limb here and bet you a cyber nickel that neither one of those two will be on our roster in '06.

 

I'll take that bet, but be careful using the newfangled word "cyber". Gary Hughes will show up at your house with a torch and a mob with pitchforks.

 

Man, if you guys don't back off on these Gary Hughes references, I'm gonna turn paranoid !! :wink:

[Andy]

It took till Game 4 but we finally got the low-scoring, pitching-dominated series that everyone talked about.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fred, you are the man for posting this game tread stuff all season long!

 

Thanx for the kind words. I've had a lot of fun with it, despite the results.

The astros just aren't getting it done. plain and simple.

[USSoccer]

Backe's going to have to throw a 12 inning CG shoutout at this point. I like his toughness so far, though.

I've always wondered... how do you post these so fast? What is a "code"?

Yeah, but the Astros offense has been "not getting it done" all year long......

I HAVE to see that Johnny Cash movie. Cash is the man.

I've always wondered... how do you post these so fast? What is a "code"?

 

I create the inning recap as it happens in a separate file, and when the inning is over, I simply cut and paste. The "code" you see is a function of the message board software that allows formating of the text. It automatically uses the non scalable courier font and doesn't delete double spacing, thus allowing me to make columnar data line up.

Juan Marichal looks really good for his age.

Juan Marichal looks really good for his age.

That's what this game has brought us to. Talking about how good old Latin pitchers look...Someone hit one about 800 feet, please.

[Andy]

Talk about stepping up. Brandon Backe has been electric. Wish his offense would pick him up.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Astros have now racked up 12 consecutive innings without plating a runner. This would be a real good time to break that string, no?

[Andy]

Morgan Ensberg may disagree.

[CardsFanInChiTown]

No matter what happens this inning I still feel the Sox are going to win this game.

[Andy]

Come on Jason Lane...
