I know I should be happy for the White Sox winning last night, but I can't help but feel we didn't deserve it. Granted we wouldn't have lost, but would have gone into extra innings.
What does everyone think about that call? I think the umpires said it best when they said the replay was "inconclusive." :rolleyes:
I am the furthest thing from a Sox fan as you can get so I have a totally unbiased opinion on this. The umpire supposedly said he saw "a change of direction" in the ball, meaning it hit the ground first. When Terry and I first saw the replay, we couldn't figure out what was going on because it looked like the catcher caught it cleanly, and the batter obviously swung and missed making it a 3rd strike, so we had no idea what was going on.
Like you say, the game would have gone into overtime and could have gone either way if he had been out, but this adds a little excitement and drama, which translates into better ratings....
I LOVE baseball and watch it every chance I get...there is a call in almost every single game that is questionable and one team benefits...tomorrow night there will be a call that benefits the Angels....it's the give and take and what I love about the game!!
I'm still rooting for my precious Astros!! :D
The part that bugs me about "the call" is that the umpire in question may try to even things out on another call.Quote:

Wait until he call a foul ball, a home run!!!
Alrighty then...since noone has mentioned the Astros FABULOUS win over the Cards last night...I will be proud to be the first to do so!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D
If (and when) they win with the Rocket on the mound Saturday, Andy Pettitte will not let Roger down and lose again...so there is 2 more wins....put Oswalt on the mound again and we've got our 4!!!!!!! World Series here we come!
GO ASTROS!!!
PS I want ALL of you to remember who was an Astro fan when noone else was....who has an Astro hat and wears it religously....I don't want to ever be accused of being a "bandwagon jumper." I love my Roger and I love my Astros.... :D
WHITE SOX WIN!!!! WE'RE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!!!!
OMG! It was crazy here last night. Maggy was having a fit with all the fireworks and celebration, but we managed to calm her down, poor thing.
WoooooooooooHooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Chicago WHite Sox winn!!!!!Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee were going to the series. Way to go guys!!!!!
Hey,
You Sox fans are acting as if you haven't been to a WS in 46 years-
And you Astro fans are acting as if you NEVER have been to the WS....
Congrats to all and lets see a great WS with no umpire invovlement! ;)
LMAO!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D
Very true!
What a night last night! I thought for sure it was over and the.....Pujols. Geez, I dislike that man! Actually I wish he was an Astro!!!
But we'll finish them off Wednesday for sure with Oswalt on the mound.
My heart can't take much more of this....And I'm so sleep deprived I am cross-eyed all day long...I am up until 11:30pm and wake up at 4:15am!! :eek: I have to go to bed early tonight to rest up for tomorrow!!
GO ASTROS!!! :D
ps If the Astros win the World Series, I made a deal with Collin that I would get the Astro star tattoo!! ;)
LOL! I made the comment last night to my hubby that since Paul Konerko is a free agent after this season, if we loose him, we'll gladly take Pujols. Not to mention the fact that he's a total hottie! :eek: Good grief is that man easy on the eyes.
But, not to worry about getting that tattoo, cuz who ever wins this series isn't winning the World Series anyway. :o
(Lord, please don't make me eat my words.) ;)
Those sound like fighting words....go easy on me until we at LEAST get the Astros IN. Then we can duke it out!! LOL!! ;)Quote:

One strike away...
Moore killed himself a few years later because of the crap he got for that one pitch.

One ball, one strike, one inning, one game at a time. ;)
