Lidge s up once again.....
It's a sweep that doesn't feel like a sweep.
Props to Backe for the Astros' best start of the series.
at least the games over before 1:30
Yeah because the Stros should have won almost all of the games but they can't ing hit in the clutch and Lidge ed up too much.
So the MVP gets a car? What in the ing .
I dunno about Jermaine Dye being the winner. I think the pitchers should be the MVPs.
....they should give it to you Duff so you can sell it and pay back Jim!
Backe ing OWNED the White Sox
The MVP of that series was tough to give out.
Dye won it mainly on his RBI tonight and him hitting 438
Great year for the Astros. It sucks to end on a somewhat sour note, but they still made the Series. Let's all remember that as we read stories about how they "choked" and whatnot by people who like to make sports a forum for manhood analysis.
This was just the White Sox' year to win it. Congrats to them. I hope to see the familiar faces back on the Astros next year for another run, but we'll see. On to basketball...
What clutch hitters are realistically available? That's a good place to start.
Lidge is still one of the greatest closers in the league, but hes been overworked the past 2 years. This just goes to show why Mariano Rivera is THE greatest of all time
if you could find a couple i gaurantee Boston and New York would love to have em.What clutch hitters are realistically available
Now the exciting part, the offseason !!!!
I agree Ice, Lidge is great, I just think hes been overused. TOo many 2 inning games this year.
The Astros had several opportunites to put runs on the board during game 3's extra innings and during game 4. How many times were the bases loaded and the batter struck out? Come on...offense people. I believe a total of 18 runners were stranded on bases for the entire series.
And yes...Mariano Rivera IS one of THE greatest closers of all time.
Dye won it mainly on his RBI tonight and him hitting 438
dye was a brave and when he left their clutch hitting left to
the manager was a ing idiot to pitch to dye. He should have walked him. HE WAS ON FIRE LAST NIGHT. I was watching the game and BEFORE he got the rbi I said you walk his ass. The manager ED houston last night
There's no way people can say the Astros "choked." They had problems with hitting all year long.
A big chunk of these baserunners they stranded got on base with walks and HBP and advanced into scoring position on sacrifice plays.
But this was one of the worst offensive teams in baseball. That they won the pennant anyway, even after starting 15-30, is impressive enough. They ran into a White Sox team that demolished all three opponents in the playoffs. Chicago only allowed 34 runs in the entire postseason in 12 games.
The Astros offense overachieved in the first two rounds of the Playoffs, IMO. As I said befoire the World Series started, I was amazed that they were able to get as far as they did without relying completely on pitching. They just regressed back to the norm at the wrong times (and overall, their offense wasn't bad in the WS, it was just extremely unreliable at crucial points of the game.)
Holy I still cant believe they got swept.
Thanks alot stros I just lost 5000 Vbookie.
