It's because he's rooting for the Astros.

 

You tend to notice it more when you're not on the receiving end of the bias, or you're indifferent to who wins. It's true, unfortunately.

 

understood.

 

Ausmus leadoff double scaring me a bit here...

[schillingouttheks]

This could be a crucial run for the Astros. Buehrle won't give them chances like this too much more.

 

Runners at corners for Berkman. Scary situation for the ChiSox.

[schillingouttheks]

Berkman delivers, 4-2 'Stros. ChiSox need to get those bats warmed up again.

[JohnnyDug]

so, that changes the face of things. all actions in this game are so deliberate. strategy is scarier than ever with all minds working over-time. its like human survival skills kick in

[schillingouttheks]

Like wow, you're back, ho bag!

[BoSox84]

How do you get picked off at 1st come on guchi

[BoSox84]

Konerko you just made yourself some more money this offseason, wow

[See Red]

... I hate to cry conspiracy, but the White Sox are the beneficiaries of yet another blown call -- and it leads to a Grand Slam. Ridiculous.

[schillingouttheks]

Good f***ing God. Whyyy, WHY?!?!!

 

WAHHHHHH THIS IS UNFAIR WAHHHHH.

 

Haha, I kid, I kid, I joke, I joke. Konerko is amazing. What clutch.

[BoSox84]

yea man umps never get that kind of call wrong. 6-4 white sox baby

[schillingouttheks]

Interesting point.

[podsednik20]

haha, good thing they put Pettitte out, or else they woudl still be winning probably

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

Konerko is pulling a Beltran(not as big numbers but big hits in big spots). He is making himself alot of money.

[BoSox84]

Joe Buck just doesnt like the White Sox, we are going to hear about this til this series is over

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

To be honest the umps having the worst post-season I've ever seen does not suprise me. I have felt they had a horrible regular season anyway. The umps this year have been brutal all year long. I dont know what happend but there has been a huge drop off in the quality of calls. In a game in June Yankees VS Pirates the Yankees were down to their final out and the umpire called Sheffield safe on a grounder to SS but he was out by a mile. That lead to a rally and a GW HR by Giambi. That one game is the difference between the Yankees playing the Angels rather then the White Sox. Ditto for the Red Sox. That said the Yankees have also been robbed this season by some brutal calls but you catch my drift.

Fox does this with every missed call.

I've heard many lay the claim that Mike Port, the new MLB Exec. VP of Umpiring, has a soft hand with the umpiring crews.

I heard the same thing. Once Alderson left his post they have gone soft on the umpires after they make brutal calls.

Does anyone else here find Jenks FB to be a little flat? I mean, don't get me wrong, that velocity is impressive and most aren't going to catch up to it. That said, it is straight as an arrow IMO. A good FB hitter can give one of those a ride.

[ChiTownSox77]

Paul Konerko = The next Chicago Icon

[schillingouttheks]

Tie game!!! JUSTICE IS SERVED!!!

Or a regular hitter who shortens his swing......6-6.

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

That hit by Vizcaino reminded me of his GW hit against the Mets in game 1 of the 2000 world series.

[See Red]

YES! Vizcaino!!!!

 

What a game this has turned out to be!

Jenks has a good curve. He needs to mix that in a little more because your right. It is stright.

McCarver must read these boards lol.

[ORS]

Now we get to see if there are any lingering effects from Pujols on Lidge.

[schillingouttheks]

I guess there are...

 

Well this sucks.

[BoSox84]

YOU can out that on the board YEESSS. Pods you da man. theres a white sox winner

[ORS]

Wow, who would have thought that there'd be a walk-off by a guy with no HR during the regular season.
