game 1, sox perspective
my first post here at chickball, let me give you some insight that mr. profile doesn't tell you. born and raised in the chi, i grew up with the cubs and the bears. (what the hell is with chicago and large scary animals? bears, bulls, wolves, cubs? then again, my high school mascot was the duke of york...) while i may bleed cubbie blue, i'm on the sox side of this one (although i think SOXtober is retarded), mostly because my brother-in-law is a south-sider (damn those suave polish men!), as well as a lot of friends and co-workers from back home. the jerseys say chicago, which is better than houston (which i still hate because of the enron scandal, which i'm totally obsessed with in a weird way). so in conclusion, go sox! until spring training. then all bets are off. (to all those unfamiliar with chicago sports: the cubs/sox rivalry isn't like bosox/yankees rivalry... it's more like a guy and his kid brother, not the crips and the bloods. we live in the same city and we enjoy teasing each other about how bad the other one sucks, but we're not going to riot or anything because of a lost game. so that's the insight, don't call me a traitor.)
final score: chisox 5, pastros 3.
all i've got is: what's up sox pitching. jenks, despite being bionic ::snerk::, was on fire in the 8th and 9th, pitching around 100mph. the bull pen, despite popular belief, was NOT rusty. remember all those people back in august who were like "white sox are CHOKING!" when they were in like a 5 game losing streak? yeah, they're idiots. on the northside, we call that "normal". anyway! the bull pen is looking amazing, we already know the starters are amazing, and we had 2 homers in the game.
having said that, the best play in the game was the double play in, what, the 5th? astros did an amazing job moving the ball. don't get me wrong, the astros are a great team. if clemens had lasted more of the game, maybe things would have been different. but that's what happens when you're 105 years old, i guess. ^_~
overall, i'm going to say it was a great game and i'm very much looking forward to this series. isn't it refreshing to have different teams in the series? no yankees, no red sox, no braves, no cards. the only problem is that FOX sucks so hard it's funny. come on, foxtrax? how lame can you get. ::rolls eyes::
and didn't you love the fireworks?? they have those out over the lake. ahhhh i miss chicago so bad.... ::sigh::

I snerked. I won't lie. He's old. LOL. (I meant that with all the attendant irony I could muster.)
