I can't believe it. I never thought I would live to see the Astros make it to the World Series! So much disapointment and heartbreaks through the years. Wow, I don't know if they're going to win it all but right now I just feel so relieved. The Red Sox had their miracle last year, hopefully we'll get ours this year!

if you wanna compare something to the Red Sox last year... you should root for the White Sox. they haven't won the World Series since 1917

but... i believe the Astros are a better team cuz of their bats & pitching. white sox don't have as good of an offense

GO 'STROS

I guess you're right Spart. Whoever wins this thing, it'll be a long time coming.

What season were you watching?

Astros had one of the sorriest offenses of the year. Why do you think Roger Clemens isnt a 20 game winner.. especially with that beautiful ERA.

White Sox have far superior offense, hands down.

Their pitching is very nice,... but nothing compared to the stros big three.

I favor pitching.. so i think the stros will win.

My only doubts lay on the white sox pitching. They just pitched a hell of a series against the angels. 4 complete games?
They were all gems..

Their starting pitching staff is on fire.. if they keep it up,... white sox will win.
If not.. stros will win..
Clemens, petite, and oswalt... cant beat that.

Must be tough being a White Sox fan being in a town dominated by Cub fans.

this baseball season has been crapola. this world series will blow.
i think the mlb needs to make some rules to make the games more fast paced. its too hard to sit and actualy be entertained by baseball.
as far as the astros and white sox goes gl to both.

its great wonderful and spectacular that the yankee's arent in another ws i h8 the yankees.

i have no interest in this world series what so ever its not going to be a good series period.

i hope next year will be better sad.gif

its not about the teams that play in the world series... its about the action.


Back in 88 everyone said it was going to be a bad world series... but no... dodgers won and upset the untouchable athletics.

A couple of years ago... people said the world series was going to suck... yet it went to a game 7.

Baseball is filled with surprises. If your a Red Sox fan or a fan of a wild card championship winner (3 in a row so far) then you understand....

Its the hottest team in october vs the best AL team all year long..
Its going to be fun...
