I say the White Sox in 6. The angels are a tired team with a tired bullpen. The White Sox are rested well.

I thought the sox were going to stroll through the Angels (and their retarded full name - the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim?) but on D&C this morning everyone was picking the Angels to take it in 6 or 7, so now I don't know what to think.

f'ing . Gotta love it.

The Sox definitely have the advantage tonight. They are nice and rested whereas the Angels have been doing nothing but traveling and playing games all weekend. They must be wiped!!

Anyway, I'm now pulling for a White Sox/Cards World Series.

The Angels have had the Sox's number all season, so if past history is any indication....


However, the Sox are hungry. And their pitching staff is rested. The Angels will have some pitching issues early in the series. And if Colon stays hurt, all the better. I think the Sox can take the first two games pretty easily.

But that's just me being the optimist, trying to give the edge to my team.

I would normally pull for the Angels, especially since they beat the Yanks... however, I'm rooting against them, and have been all year, just b/c of that stupid name.

I also only refer to them as the Anaheim Angels. Los Angeles already has a team... they're called the Dodgers....

Rock with the Sox!

I want to see hopefully the White Sox vs. Cardinals only cause Larussa used to coach the White Sox and I would imagine that Cubs fans would want the White Sox to beat the hated Cardinals.

I want the Angels to win... but I wouldn't put $ on tonights game... they are playing in 3 different cities in 3 days... with a couple key pitchers out... while the Sox have been rested. AND home tuff...

..yeah, and... I do hate the fact that they changed their name to Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim... How lame is that??!!!

even i'll say it, White Stockings in 6. They're on an absolute roll.

I can't see them beating the Cards though. This is a Cubs fan's worst nightmare. Thank you, baseball gods

anyway, i'm not going to root against the sox anymore, they really have something special going. however, so did the 2003 Cubs, and the Marlins were underdogs who took it all the way. Anaheim or Houston might be 1 of those.

I say the Sox in 5 the Angels didn't do anything extraordinary against the Yanks it was the Yanks horrible pitching and not hitting in the clutch. The Sox have great pitching and clutch hitting but no team at this point should get swept. I say the Sox and Cards but the Astros seem to have found the 4 leaf clover too. Right now my Yanks are home so go Pujols and the Cards..

Even though I'm not an Angel's fan I still have to root for the home teams...but I can't stand the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim name.

What's it going to be next the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim located near Disneyland and Hooters to attract more people

You're an ass, but I envy you .

I say the series goes the full 7. As much as the pitching is good in Chi Town, the Angels always seem to find a way to make things interesting.

I can see it going to 7 as well...the Angels are kinda like the ChiSox--scrappy team. But, I still stick to my call of Sox in 6.
