Also, its kind of interesting how the AL represents basically the biggest markets in the US.

1. New York, 2. Los Angeles, 3. Chicago, and 5. Boston.

the top 3 also have NL teams as well, just in the playoffs this year.

**BCWWF** · 10-04-2005, 08:34 PM

Does it help the White Sox to have those big shadows, or does is fuck with both teams?

**Hardkore Kidd J** · 10-05-2005, 12:51 PM

ALDG

White Sox > Red Sox 3-2 [ The first round is a best of five series I think. Basically I'm actually cheering Chicago in this match up at least frankly I would cheer anyone who is facing the Red Sox just to get Boston out of the playoffs]

Yanks > Angels 3-1

NLDG

Braves < Astros 3-1

Cards > Padres 4-0

ALCS

Yankees > White Sox 4-3 [Chicago is a real good team but the way I see Yankees are going to take it in game 7 sorry Joey Slugs]

NLCS

Cards > Astros

WS

Yankees > Cards 4-3 [Once again another real close one]

**BCWWF** · 10-04-2005, 08:36 PM

If Philly made the playoffs you would have 1-5

**Joey Slugs** · 10-04-2005, 08:36 PM

i'll say this much... i can care less who is playing right now. Fox's HD coverage is fucking amazing.

**Joey Slugs** · 10-04-2005, 08:37 PM

.......Kennedy.

**Dragon** · 10-04-2005, 08:38 PM

3-run double by Cano in the first. Going to be interesting to see what Mussina we will get tonight.

**Joey Slugs** · 10-04-2005, 08:39 PM

When it comes to Moose... it's a guessing game. He was the same way in Baltimore.

**The Miz** · 10-04-2005, 08:44 PM

lol god the Angels are such a joke. They're offense sucks and their pitching is overrated.

But hey, Chone Figgins can play 3 positions!!!!!!!!!

I'm assuming this is a VEL impression, if so

**BCWWF** · 10-04-2005, 08:45 PM

Damn, people are watching the west wing, I want to watch this game.

you need to go find another tv. pronto.

**BCWWF** · 10-04-2005, 09:07 PM

I agree with Miz though, I don't think people know very much about Anahiem because nobody really gives a shit about the AL West (I hate to beat the dead horse LC, so I'll refrain from going on about that

) but really Colon isn't unhittable, the other starters aren't amazing, and really Garrett Anderson and those guys aren't that good.

unless you live there.

**Joey Slugs** · 10-04-2005, 09:10 PM

I really want the Yankees to win this series (but I hope it goes 5 games) because it will get back to one of the greatest rivalries in sports: Chicago/New York (as long as we get through Boston).

If you think about it, outside of the fans hating each other, Boston/New York was never a big deal until recently. One of the great fights for dominance in baseball history has always be the White Sox and Yanks.

When the Yanks were going through their glory days in the 50s and 60s, who was fighting them tooth and nail the entire time? Not Boston (who where bottomfeeders for so long). It was Chicago.

If not for horrible ownership and bad managing, the White Sox might be giving NY a run for their money when it comes to total championships.

**Loose Cannon** · 10-04-2005, 09:25 PM

26 Championships to 2. That's not even a little close. I mean, if you're gonna say that, we can just say "insert team" could of gave the Yankees a run for total championships if it wasn't for bad managing and ownership.

well that and players throwing ball games

**Loose Cannon** · 10-04-2005, 09:27 PM

and go back and look at all the 2nd place finishes from Chicago from the late 50's to early 60's. The only time they were even close to the Yankees was in '64

**BCWWF** · 10-04-2005, 10:01 PM

I thought I read somewhere that the White Sox haven't won a World Series ever? Or was it just that the last time they won was before the Cubs?

The Sox won in 1917

**Loose Cannon** · 10-04-2005, 10:05 PM

1917 was the last one. Then they threw the 1919 one and got there once after that.

Yeah, we lost to the Dodgers in '59

**Loose Cannon** · 10-04-2005, 10:07 PM

THE GO GO SOX

**Joey Slugs** · 10-04-2005, 10:13 PM

yeah, we've had some cool slogans over the years.

@ the fact that, unless they do something quick, 2008 will mark a 100 year championship drought for the boys in cubbie blue.

**Joey Slugs** · 10-04-2005, 10:14 PM

they actually play the old "GO GO SOX" fight song during home games this year.

**Loose Cannon** · 10-04-2005, 10:29 PM

wtf kind of a call was that. you steal with Vlad when you're down 4-0 with AL Leiter on the mound. Real smart

**Loose Cannon** · 10-04-2005, 10:30 PM

and I'm implying Leiter is not good, so why even take a chance wit that.

**Joey Slugs** · 10-04-2005, 10:32 PM

Vlad was safe, but you are right... why the fuck was he running?

**Loose Cannon** · 10-04-2005, 10:33 PM

he's out just for being a dumbass

**Joey Slugs** · 10-04-2005, 10:34 PM

**Joey Slugs** · 10-04-2005, 10:34 PM

smart move by Jeter selling the tag.

**Joey Slugs** · 10-04-2005, 10:36 PM

i can't believe that Peavy is out for the rest of the playoffs from an injury he got from the celebration after clinching the NL west.

**Dragon** · 10-04-2005, 10:45 PM

Sturtze continues to be ineffective.

I remember last year, and earlier this year for a little bit when there was Sturtze-Gordon-Rivera that were reliable in the back of the pen. Now its basically down to Gordon-Rivera.

**Loose Cannon** · 10-04-2005, 10:48 PM

god I thought that was gone

**Joey Slugs** · 10-04-2005, 10:50 PM

man... these "scanner darkly-like" commercials freak me out.

**Joey Slugs** · 10-04-2005, 10:53 PM

happy new year to all our jew friends here.

**Loose Cannon** · 10-04-2005, 11:18 PM

oh fuck. classic Rivera breakdiwn right here

**Joey Slugs** · 10-04-2005, 11:24 PM

the one downfall of games on Fox is that the game tonight was a 2 hour 20 min game played out in almost 3 and a half hours.

Side Note: BCWWF - Media Bias, I like Joe Buck, Timmy is clearly a yankee butt swab. That being saidm it's not a east coast bias for the media, it's TV markets, plain and simple. As for the Sox getting all this hype? Yeah, when they play the yanks it sells and also, they are the defending champs! (small detail you seem to forget) Both reasons for extra coverage. That being said, if you watch the coverage you see the shape the pitching, especially then pen is in and understand they don't have the best chances unless someone comes up huge.

I understand the markets, they go something like this.

RANK	Designated Market Area (DMA)	TV Homes	% of US
1	New York	7,375,530	6.692
2	Los Angeles	5,536,430	5.023
3	Chicago	3,430,790	3.113
4	Philadelphia	2,925,560	2.654
5	Boston (Manchester)	2,375,310	2.155
6	San Francisco-Oak-San Jose	2,355,740	2.137
7	Dallas-Ft. Worth	2,336,140	2.120
8	Washington, DC (Hagrstwn)	2,252,550	2.044
9	Atlanta	2,097,220	1.903
10	Houston	1,938,670	1.759

Only two of those are in the "North East" that Loose Cannon described in another thread, but I would consider Phily and Washington D.C. "North East"
