It'd be a big deal at this point for the White Sox to just get back to the World Series. It's incredible that even with two teams Chicago hasn't hosted a World Series game since Ike was President.

I brought my Rally Monkey to work today. He's sitting on one of my computer speakers, leaning against my monitor.

My Seattle coworkers are casting anxious looks at me, as though I have been smitten with the plague.

I didn't know you were an Angel's fan.
Being an Angels fan in Seattle, you probably feel like a ham hock at a barmizvah. LOL

This will be a verrrrry difficult game for the Angels tonight.
They'll be very tired from all the travel.
The adrenalin has worn off by now.

[Not A Snowbird]

I didn't know you were an Angel's fan.

Yep! I was born in San Francisco, raised on the Oakland side of the bay, and was an A's fan until I left home. Half my adult life I spent in Orange County stationed at Tustin and El Toro, so I gravitated toward the Angels. They won the World Series just before I moved up here.

Being an Angels fan in Seattle, you probably feel like a ham hock at a barmizvah.

Our team sucks so bad almost everyone up here roots for the Mariners plus one other team. :-)

This will be a verrrrry difficult game for the Angels tonight.

Agreed... I'll settle for a split in Chicago. The poor guys must be exhausted.

Thanks! "Big Klu" was part of a 100 HR outfield for the Reds, before he went to Chi. Him, Frank Robinson and Gus Bell.

[MrJingles]

The crowd at Comiskey was very sedate last night, but they sound better now.

I'm optimistic with Burley.... Bheurley.... Beuhule.... Mark B. on the mound.

[MrJingles]

Washburn opens the door for the White Sox with an error! I likle where this is going!

[doug from upland]

That run was like a Dodger rally during the time of Maury Wills.

[doug from upland]

In 1977, the Dodgers made history when four members of the team hit 30 or more home runs: Steve Garvey (33), Reggie Smith (32), Ron Cey (30) and Dusty Baker (30).

[MrJingles]

Can any Angels fan tell me where Anderson usually bats in the order? Considering how hot he is, he should be batting 3 or 4. Does it have something to do with facing the lefty?

Also, that talking cartoon baseball is nearly insufferable. How many 8-year-olds are watching this game?

[185JHP]

Thanks.

[doug from upland]

Bonehead play by a runner. On third with no outs ---- you don't take chances. Incredible play by the 3rd baseman.

[MrJingles]

D*mn you, Joey Cora! What are you doing?! A man on 3rd with NO OUTS does not strike me as a desperate situation!

[Petronski]

It looked to me like he was sent home.

Still boneheaded, but not all his fault.

[doug from upland]

Not a very clean game. Uribe makes an incredible play in the first, then he blows an easy one.

[MrJingles]

Upon seeing it again, you're right, that was a great play by the 3b. Still, Rowand shouldn't have gone in the first place.

Bad throw by Uribe. We can't afford this kind of thing....

[MrJingles]

Well there goes the no-hitter. Mark is still on fire, though. If he can keep it up, the Angels are in trouble.

[Miss Behave]

Cubbies fan here, not knowing what to do....

Just kidding. GO SOX!

[Osage Orange]

And the fact is most people in Los Angeles and Chicago won't even care. Now if it was the Dodgers vs the Cubs, that would be a whole different story.

Considering that Anaheim is 30-40 miles from L.A. yeah you are correct...most LaLa Land inhabitant's don't/won't care.

They finally got the name right ( Anaheim Angels..) a few years ago...and the new moron owner...couldn't leave well enough alone.

RANT off...

[Miss Behave]

ALWAYS more cowbell.
