Congrats to the White Sox. I was at Game 4, and it was another squeaker. History won't show it (since sweeps are remembered as blowouts), but these were good close games. The White Sox just played a bit better than my 'Stros, and that's what will ensure that they are remembered. My hat's off to them. I wanted Houston to get to the Big Show, and we did. Mind you, I certainly wasn't hoping for a sweep, but it is what it is.
I am very proud of Backe. The Sox figured out that if you pitch around Berkman, there is no Houston offense. Let the celebration begin in Chicago (just keep cows away from any flammable material). :)
Thank you.
People like you are the reason that Houston is such a classy town.

I agree. As a lifelong White Sox fan, living in Europe, I had to get up in the middle of the night and follow it by the play-by-plays on mlb.com, and I could still see that it was a close series. They were tense games, particularly #3. The Astros made it real tough for my Sox. They and their fans are sad right now, but when that wears off some they should take pride in a good series.
