Time for Andy to close it out for us tonight! I am a little annoyes that the umps detracted from a hard fought game yesterday. Edmonds was jobbed. That looked like ball 4 to me, and I am an Astros fan. Like I said, let's finish it up tonight and get ready for the ChiSox. 'Stros in the WS, never thought I'd se it happen (hopefully).

I was going absolutely crazy last night BOOG. I have to say that Anaheim hitting was completely shut down. I really think something was wrong with Vladdy, only 1 hit and a RBI to go with it?

Anyways, my dad has 2 tickets to WS Game 2 and since I went to the ALCS with him, my mom gets the other World Series ticket. Guess I'll be skipping class tomorrow to get some tickets. :happy:

Lucky you! :angry:

I've had myself and 3 people working on getting tickets for white sox home playoff games and I've come up empty every time.

at one point for the division series there were 130000 people trying to get 40000 tickets spanning 4 games.

I will try hard but don't see it happening to get those tickets.

hell the tickets for game two of the alcs I bought were 185 a piece. I don't even want to think about the World Series

my team sucked this year, crapped out at the end (cleveland)

yeah but that come back and hot streak sent shivers down White Sox nation. I've almost never seen a team sustain being that hot for so long to creep up on the Sox.

The White Sox have the Cleveland Indians to thank for lighting a fire under their rears and helping them realize there is still work to do.

P.S. I'm a huge white sox fan. and I thank cleveland

O man I think Pujols single-handedly ripped the hearts out of every person in Houston. That ballpark went from deafening to dead silence in about two seconds. Crazy. Playoff baseball is awesome.

No they didn't get lucky. They have Albert Pujols.

You watching Barry Bonds?  That's how a real MVP plays the game in the postseason.

Pujols is a friggin stud.

In all fairness, Bonds pretty much carried the Giants in 2002 to the World Series.

I hate Pujols...for some unexplained reason.

Bonds' postseason numbers include averages of .167, .148, .176, and .222. His lifetime "big game" stats are a .245 average with 9 homers in 151 at bats.

I was primarily speaking about the postseason. It's too bad the past two years everyone was all in love with the longball to see a true MVP slip past them in Pujols.

And I despise the Cardinals like you wouldn't believe.

Got me there, BOOG :)

I thought Barry had a dominate postseason in 2002 though. .356avg, 8hrs, 16rbi, 27bb (that's unbelievable).

Still, I understand your point. We'll see if he ever wins a World Series.

I must say I was sick when I watched it. I still think our chances are about the same as the Cards in game 6. I've heard a lot of fans here saying we should have walked Pujols. I think it should have been considered. He definately should have not gotten anything over the plate to swing at. Oh well, knowing Lidge he is probably wishing he could have another crack at them tomorrow instead of sitting for a day. We need a strong game from Roy and some good hitting. I won't lie, I am nervous since we are in the same situation as last year, but I feel are chances are better than last year. Go 'Stros.

Yeah but if you walk Pujols you put the tying run on second with Sanders coming up. And he's been having himself a pretty decent post-season, too. Plus, I don't think that slider was supposed to be over the plate. It just didn't bite.

    • with LTSC and ESU there are still viable as a stable platform not that they care and let people deal with w11 crashing and burning every month support mean shet if the platform is trash
    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
