C'mon Sox, lets embarrass these clowns from Ahnoldland!
You're in Cali this weekend? Glad you made it out. Maybe you'll be able to watch Game 6 and 7 at home

And I still say Go Angels, even though it doesn't look good.

Jesal...Naaaaaaaaaaaaa

Winning 4 to 1, .800, would say a lot to the Astros, who might do the same.

Levels the playing field, or if not by the Astros, infers superiority.

If the Sox win this tonight, the last time they did this I was 7 years old(!)

Contreras stinks, he has no control tonight compared to Buerhle, Garland, and Garcia.
If I were Guillen, I would bring in El Duque now and finish off the Angels.

Congrats to the white sox !

I dont know how many times the angels have lost when I had big money on their games this season

I think ive bet 6 or 7 times for the sox this season on the 1.5 point spread and theyve won every single time except once against the tigers


What a season!

Wow. Steinbrenner probably just swallowed his cigar after seeing what Contreras has done for the Sox...

maybe some of you guys can relate;

im a pretty die-hard Cubs fan. through all this, ive still stuck to that. ive gained a great deal of respect for the sox, yet all throughout this, ive been hit left and right with crap from my sox friends. for the record, im not pissed they made it; im happy you guys are in, you can celebrate! but when i see many cub fans hoping for the best (like me), and relate to 2003 when most sox fans were wishing for death to the cubs, i just cant give full respect. im not mad, but rather quite depressed thinking of 2003. granted im only 18, i still have a big Cub tie, so seeing the sox celebrate w/o seeing the cubs when they were up 3-1 really puts me on a supreme low.

but hey, good for you guys! im sure not every sox fan is wasting their time shelling a cub fan. my friends told me they were driving around yelling and honking. as for me, im simply listening to some Staind sipping a light amount of Absolute.

Neither. I just want the NLCS to drag out to 7 games.

As much as I am happy for my White Sox...

One has to look at what a dismal failure the Angles are.

They only batted .175 over the five game stint.

And they only managed 21 hits over five games.

That is only one more hit than ever recorded for a five game pennant series.

Whatever. We won!
