Sox vs. Astros
If the Astros win the NLCS and go against the sox who do you think is going to win. The Cardinals may pull off a series win, but that does not seem likely. Could the three complete games pitched by the Sox pitchers come back to bite them in the ass? Will they be rested enough to pitch well in the World Series? I myself am leaning more toward the idea that the Sox will win the World Series. However, with the complete games pitched by the Sox pitchers I wonder about their strength in the World Series. Also the Sox have benefited from the calls by the umpires. I am not Saying the Sox have anything to do with this, but what if the umpires do not miss so many calls in the World Series can the Sox win. For now I think the Sox will win it all.

2. The Sox haven't won anyting just yet.
The Angels are perfectly capable of turning this series around in a hurry. Plus, if the Sox do win the ALCS, they would be underdogs irrespective of whether they face Houston or St. Louis.

3. I disagree
Yes, the Angels are capable of turning the series around. But it's doubtful they will. There is no reason the Assholes, er, Astros should be favored over the ChiSox. Chicago won 99 games and had the second best record in MLB. So why would Houston be favored? The Chisox are a better team.

4. Sox have what it takes and will be well rested! I still want the Cards
to beat the Astros. Only because what a Card fan said to me. He said that if the Cards beat the Astros, they'll find the World Series a breeze because the American League is weak this year..
