chisox and angels are tied at 3-3 on top of the 8th

astros are up 3-1 in the NLCS, one game away from completing their redemption lol, i guess a lot of us are 'dropping our glasses' now but the cards might come back

ya yesterday's calls were bs. What's up with the berkman's at bat when the ball was pitched at the similar spot and the umpire called it a ball. The pregame show actually showed the similar pitch thrown by both cards and astro pitchers but one's being strike and one's being a ball. And edmonds didn't even lift the bat off his shoulder ... so i see what your saying.

cards have to win this one to redeem themselves.

angels basically shut themselves down in this series. Their leader, apparently guerrero, was not hitting and I dunno if he has the charisma to be a leader since he's a very soft spoken person. Don't get me wrong he's a solid hitter but i think every team needs a strong personality to win. Their pitching's fine but the whole batting lineup just sucked. Their first 4 hitters were actually pretty solid on paper but nothing worked out when it came to critical time.

btw i like the chisox aces pic that's on the mlb.com. Garland, Buehrle, Contreras, and Garcia. Like wow what a lineup going into the world series lol.

for nlcs i want the cards win mark mulder has to kick some major ass so the momentum will shift to the cards. I still have faith in the cards.

blessing the cards with fingers crossed lol ~

ya i agree with u herothree on the rust after having too many days off. It doesn't only happen for basbeall but other sports too. Having too many days to relax makes the momentum die down. Either for the astros or cards, they are gonna carry on with the spirit going into gm1 of the world series. I think the astros have a decent bullpen, garner often uses this qualls wheeler lidge combo. And i think they haven't used rodriguez yet. They are doubling up oswalt's start and if it goes to gm7 i think the astros would start with pettitte and clemens to relieve, which gives backe and rodriguez available for gm1 of the world series (if possible). Then oswalt will be available for gm2 and so on. For the cards i think prolly morris starts for gm7 and either suppan/marquis to relieve. So gm7 is the best game to watch u see starters relieving. Although I want the cards to win but oswalt's tough to beat, he gives u tons of 95mph fballs and then a 69-72mph curveball, also got good slider.

the pujols last minute hr really cashed in his worth. In fact he's hitting well in the series just that he needs HRs.

and yes gm7 is always do or die so it becomes a reason for us to gather together and watch haha.

yes indeed it's the last one for the cards

damn the oswalt qualls wheeler combo

Windowpane

welcome back gretzky, your team just lost tonight to the nucks lolll ~

too bad for walker he thought he'd get a ring by sticking with the hottest team but it fell short. The cards should rethink about their rotation in the off season. Mulder and Morris are good but not dominating. 4th and 5th pitchers just got outperformed.

besides walker we still have some local pride like morrison from pitt meadows and sakic from burnaby lol but they are from hockey. For baseball i think we can only relate to rich harden? who else's born in bc?

chisox's '4 king' will put on some clinics lol chisox in 6. Not that i hate the astros or anything tho haha.

let's not forget when the stage was set for konerko to hit that jack lol ~ that's my favorite part it seemed as tho it's a drama haha

of coz the posednik hit was a classic too
what happened to lidge he seemed to get quite a few of blown saves lately
was his dominating fastball not dominating anymore? lol ~

Windowpane

jenks' got some sick fball too but i think he's still not maturing yet but ya normally lidge's pitches are hard to hit. Posednik's a decent hitter but i still think he just left the bat off his shoulder since he guessed it'd be a high heat or something. Even if it's a braking ball like slider it's got great speed too like near 90. His changeup is like in the low 80s what kinda off speed is that.

Windowpane

ya that's like randy johnson haha

i'd be happy if i can even throw a proper fastball that a catcher can catch lol ~

let's talk about outfiielders what are some of your fav outfielders? I dun even know who now got the strongest arms. I used to think shawn green, raul mondesi, dave martinez and ichiro got some strong arms. But now I have no idea who got that skill. But in terms of def outfielding i'd say a.jones is amazing. Griffey Jr. used to reign the CF but now his hamstrings just bugging him so bad.
