Congrats to the Red Sox on their World Series victory or whatever. Stephen said it best in the comments: Nothing warms my heart more than seeing Tom Werner standing on the podium to accept the WS trophy. For those who may have forgotten why we detest Werner in these parts, here's a handy reminder. Aside from the fact that he almost destroyed baseball in San Diego, I've got no real problems with the guy. To the winter leagues... Friday, October 26 East Rising Stars 3, West Rising Stars 2 (box | recap). Matt Antonelli batted second and went 0-for-2 with a walk. Interesting that he bats in the #7 or #8 hole for the ...

World Series IGD: White Sox @ Astros, Game 3

Tuesday, October 25, 2005
by Geoff Young

first pitch: 5:30 p.m., PT television: Fox matchup: Jon Garland (18-10, 3.50 ERA) vs Roy Oswalt (20-12, 2.94 ERA) Vince Galloro has a detailed preview of Tuesday night's contest up at Exile in Wrigleyville. For my part, I'll just note that this is a very even pitching matchup. Opponents hit .255/.298/.399 against Garland in 2005, .262/.302/.389 against Oswalt. It's like how much closer could this matchup get? and the answer is none, none more close.
