Holy ****! The White Sox are going to the World Series!
I officially take back every bad thing I have ever said about Joe Crede.
For the record, let me just say that Mike Scioscia = Class Act. He had every reason to gripe and complain and get really, really pissed during this series, and he maintained an extremely professional demeanor. Major props to him. I am, however, surprised that he let K-Rod go out there in the 9th considering how wild he was in the 8th. I'm doubly surprised that he didn't have somebody warming up sooner - when the entire pitching staff was available, Scioscia stuck with a guy who was having terrible trouble finding the strike zone.

I had been thinking that about the Angels before the ALCS.

Good pitching, very solid bullpen, good defense...they are built quite a bit like the Sox, in that respect.
Like the Sox witih Vlad Guerrero.

Of course, I didn't expect Vlad to go 1-for-20 (and that one hit was an infield single). I didn't expect the Sox 'pen to throw SEVEN PITCHES in the series. I didn't expect the umpiring to be as bad as it was. I didn't think the Sox could take advantage of those mistakes so many times. I didn't expect K-Rod to almost turn into Rick Ankiel in the clutch. Then again, I didn't really expect the Sox to make the playoffs, either - my "The Sox are done" posts back in September got lost in the board crash.
But it all happened.
