Game 2 Live Thread! Chicago leads series 1-0

Pettite vs. Buehrle

[truthandlife]

Pettitte is the man! The Astros look tough and definitely have the momentum in this game. This is a totally different series if the Astros win this one.

[raccoonradio]

Yes! Tim Raines, and J.T. Snow(s)

[justkillingtime]

very good call by the ump...I just replayed that in slo-mo(Thank you TIVO) The call was the right one

[Bulldaddy]

True. It's dangerous to even begin thinking of a 1-1 WS headed to Houston, but it's sweet to think about Roy O pitching Tuesday night.

[mainepatsfan]

Sometimes I think the ump is just as surprised as the baserunner and misses the call.

[truthandlife]

Wondering who to root for in this World Series? The Houston Astros are not a bad choice. Good Christian guys on the team. Read some of the posts below on their Christian testimonies.

Lance Berkman testimony

http://www.therevealer.org/archives/timeless_002151.php

In "Three Strikes...You're Saved," Houston Astros star third baseman Morgan Ensberg is unabashed in saying, "The entire reason I play baseball is so that I get a chance to speak about Christ." Similarly, Jamey Carroll of the Washington Nationals tells CBN reporter Shawn Brown, "If I can be a light in this field that somebody in the stands can see Christ through me, that's truly the reason I go out and I play for Him." So much for the love of the game.

http://www.sportsspectrum.com/hotcorner/ SPORTS SPECTRUM INSIDER Getting to the heart of what matters in life TODAY'S FEATURE: ADAM EVERETT

ADAM EVERETT, SHORTSTOP, HOUSTON ASTROS

BIO NOTE: Everett was a member of the 2000 gold medal-winning US Olympic baseball team.

RECENT STAT: Everett went 1-for-3 in the Astros’ pennant-clinching victory over the Cardinals on Wednesday.

FAITH QUOTE: (On temptations of the baseball life) “Basically I just give everything up to the Lord. The temptations are there, but if you don't put yourself in these situations, it's not going to be a problem. When I'm on the road, I like to stay in my room and order room service. Or go out with some of the Christian guys. But I never go out to go out. I don't enjoy it. I love my wife, and I take my marriage very personally and to heart. Whenever you commit to those vows, they're for life.” —Sports Spectrum magazine

A lot more outs left before that becomes a reality.

[raccoonradio]

Roy Oswalt (can be really efficient) lurks as the game 3 starter (v. Garland), with
Backe in game 4 v. Garcia. Next three games in Houston,
no doubt with roof closed and loud crowd. Oswalt looked
pretty good to me, but maybe Garland will be, too...

bottom 6th upcoming

just like I told someone last night..."ITS BASEBALL, GET A GRIP!!!!

If Kiko Calero married Paul Konerko . . . they'd be gay!

There's the PRison Break cast-members promo.

[Bulldaddy]

Lane is one FINE outfielder!

[mainepatsfan]

Nice catch. Looks like the rain has arrived.

[Charles Henrickson]

We should have a Prison Break drinking game. Every time it's mentioned. . . .

[mainepatsfan]

This is probably Pettite's last inning.

[Bulldaddy]

Bet those cast members are thinking "I damn sure didn't plan on sittin' my a** outside in the freezin' rain when I signed up for this gig".

[mainepatsfan]

We wouldn't last two innings.

[mainepatsfan]

I'm sure they've retreated to dry ground. Big out by Pettite.

[Bulldaddy]

No problem, I'm in
