Congratulations to the ChiSox, and did I hear right form Joe Buck, the last winning pennent manager for the Sox Al Lopez is alive at age 97?..if so he should join that new thread.

The Sox pen should be rested for the Series.

[Guest SI Metman]

and the funny thing is that Contreras can still pitch Game 1 of the World Series with an extra day of rest.

Guillen used only five pitchers and 15 players overall in the entire ALCS!

[Valadius]

That's just how Guillen does it, I suppose...

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

A truly amazing performance by the White Sox starting rotation in this series. They pitched four consecutive complete games to close out the series. Overall, they pitched 44 1/3 of the 45 innings in the 5 games. They completely stifled the Angels offense. All of this from a team considered to have one of the deepest bullpens in the majors.

They should be quite fresh and rested for whoever awaits them for Game 1 of the World Sreies on Saturday.

Some managers will do anything to keep Timo out of the game I suppose.

A: The 7th inning
























Q: When does Tony LaRussa use 15 players and 5 pitchers?

[Elster88]

Carnac! Good to see you.

The Astros bullpen, by contrast, has worked very hard. That might actually work to their advantage if they can wrap the NLCS up quickly, because the Sox pen will have gone nearly two weeks without any meaningful innings.

One thing I wanted to say about this series, was that I was impressed by the Angels fans for not booing Guerrero. After each groundout, I was waiting for them to come raining down. Good for the Angels fans. Maybe some of us can learn something from this...
