AJ in the middle of another wild play. This postseason has been the strangest I can remember.

You have to tag with the ball-hand?  I never knew that... I thought you just had to have the ball in possession

 

The ball has to be in the hand you tag them with. So in your glove if you tag them with the glove.

The White Sox starting pitchers have pitched 43 and 1/3 out of the total 44 innings played in this series, with a chance for four straight complete games.

 

Unreal.

I have never seen four straight complete games from a pitching staff in the regular season and they have done this in the ALCS. Insane!

Ump calls him out while OBVIOUSLY meaning to call him safe, this is just getting sad....

 

Oh come on, he made the right call. Thats all that matters.

 

I know, but the umps are so spooked they can't even get the hand signals right :bonk:

Phil Garner must be running the ump crews. "Aw dang, I made the wrong signal! Come back!"

Well, if you see the replay, the ump was watching Kennedy to make sure he had the ball and didn't see it trickle away.

Ugh, this means Chicago White Sox, Houston Astros or St. Louis Cardinals will hoist the WS trophy. Is there a re-set button I can press to start this season over?

Tremendous accomplishment for the Chicago White Sox. First pennant for them and for the city as a whole since 1959, as I am sure you have all heard. I do think fans will get behind this team. It's a nice story.

I'm shocked there were no "Why is Ozzie overusing his starters?!" constroversy. Usually sports radio idiots like to think a pitcher going complete game is a bad thing.

Buehrle threw just 99 pitches, and none of the others threw more than 120. Given that the ChiSox now have five days of rest, I think there's no cause for concern.

They didn't throw that many pitches. Contreras threw 114, Garcia 118, Garland 118, Buherle 99. This is all after a week where neither of them started.

Not issuing walks was clearly a key factor that allowed the Sox starters to go the distance. Regardless of who represents the NL, the WS is going to be a ridiculously unpredictable story. Still, I think the Sox have the best chance to win it all. They've shown they can score ample runs when needed and hit with RISP. As much as it saddens me to see this happen, I can't deny how much it's deserved. I just won't take the mute off any Sox telecast in 2006.
