Jesus Christ. Are the White Sox ever going to get any respect?
They have my respect, played great all season except a few weeks late, but recovered and been a machine in the playoffs.
However I think not playing for a week could hurt them.
And as good as their pitching has been, Roy Oswalt is the best pitcher in this year's playoffs, Clemens is possibly the greatest pitcher of all time and Pettotte is one of the better post season pitchers of recent times.
The White Sox staff has only 1 guy with any real post season experience and success, El Duque, and he's not even in the rotation.
I think the starting pitching will be fairly close, keeping most games close, to me the difference is at the end of the Bullpen, and I'll take Brad Lidge, even after Pujols' Mars shot (it went too far to be a moon shot) over Jenks.
So my gut says Astros (Tralfaz?) in 6.
But I don't think the White Sox are gonna roll over, I think you'll see some damn good, competeitive, close games, probably at least 1 in extra innings.
Hopefully we don't notice the umpires.
