The 2005 Baseball Thread


Recommended Posts

I know some people in Houston would realy like a win tonight - the tickets are going for pretty good money lol, not to mention MLB would like as many games as possible, because it is all about the money baby!

Stick a fork in the Astros, they are done. Might as well get it over with tonight!

I saw the ball hitting the blue BMC Software sign, which is in play, not over the yellow line. When I watched it live, I saw how it hit off and thought it was a homer based on the direction the ball took. No one else (White Sox coaches or players) seemed to care where it hit and there is no way the second base ump could tell. At the time, I didn't think it would matter since we eventually were up 4-0. Boy was I wrong. I will say this, having only one hit since the 4th inning was poor. And yes, when I saw the fireworks in the 1st inning, I shook my head in disbelief.

I live in Chicago but I wanted the ASTROS to win, but hat's off to the ASTROS for playing hard and congrats to the Sox for winning it.

The Sox wanted it more than the ASTROS did, that's basically why they won.

This is our only championship for awhile since our Basketball team is not that great anymore and our football team stinks.

I have been a life-long die hard Cubs fan so many would not expect this from me, but congrats Sox!! I sure would love to see my north siders win the title in my lifetime, but none the less a title for Chicago is a title for Chicago. Here is how I see it though.......Red Sox last year, White Sox this year, Cubs in 2006! :)

Yea! Sox Win!

Lol, cubs... I also am a CUBS fan, but not die hard, I am not actually a baseball fan but CUBS > SOX. I think ANGELS might make it all the way next year, if they get ahold of KONERKO unless SOX re-sign him, which I know they will.

Yeah, Sox with definately re-sign Konerko. Winning a world series is something why a team holds player.

He is not the BEST player, but he is a very good addition. I think they won because of Ozzie being their manager. He was always great when I used to watch him play, and I think he knows what it takes to make a great team.

    • 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.
