woohoo, go white sox!

You know it was a bad day for the Red Sox when they gave up a homer to a guy (Scott Podsednik) who'd hit exactly 0 home runs this season.

Go Pale Hose!

Potentialy a defining moment for the playoffs. Assuming they don't fall appart after this (which I don't expect)

and like, what, 4 or 5 more to the rest of the team?? geez, that was a slaughter.

never underestimate a chicago team's ability to choke. 5 years ago, the last time the sox were in the playoffs, they didn't make it past round 1. of course, the fact that they were facing the yankees didn't help.

I thought they lost to Seattle?

White Sox need to win it today, I think, for the psychological factor above and beyond the series standings. Stomping the Red Sox was good, but I think the Red Sox have shown that they can come back from that sort of thing and recover. I think it would go a long way to maintaining the momentum of yesterday if they could win today.

Go White Sox!

maybe they did. i remember also watching yankees in the playoffs that year; it's possible that i could have seen games from two different serieses.

This thread is missing a little...

Go Yanks!

there's a reason for that.

I was teaching last night, and in my 5:00 class a student/Red Sox fan comes in and says "have you heard the score? It's 5-0 in the 2nd".

I said "Well, five runs over six innings isn't so bad; the Red Sox certainly have the bats to get back in it."

He said "No, Dr. Pope. The SECOND. Clement is stinking up the joint."

I said "crap."

While I hope the Red Sox pull it out, they can have a bye year as far as I'm concerned. Winning the World Series after 86 years of heartbreak earns a team some slack.

Tonight will be the real test. I didn't honestly think the Beantown sox could win in a Contreras/Clement matchup. While I didn't expect the score to be so lopsided, its not a big deal since you can't bank the extra runs for another night. And a 19-8 routing a little less than a year ago didn't stop them from rallying for the next eight games.

Let's see which David Wells shows up for us tonight: the one who paints the corners, or the one who lobs meatballs.

Go Sox! Uh...Go Red Sox!
