Dye singles in the winning run.


Thanks to Chicago Tribune. Posted by Picasa

Series MVP Jermaine Dye singled home the only run of the game in the 8th inning. This gave the Sox a 1 to 0 lead. That run held up leading to a 4 - 0 sweep of Houston and the World Series!!

Uribe comes thru in 9th.

Good defense. Uribe also made the last play of the game, throwing out Orlando Palmeiro at first on a very close play.

Game 3 of World Series. Win 7 - 5!!


14th inning. Chicago Tribune.Posted by Picasa

Geoff Blum, in his first Series at-bat, hit a home run off reliever Ezequiel Astacio with two out in the 14th inning to vault the Sox a 7-5 victory before a stunned sellout crowd of 42,848 fans at Minute Maid Park.

Also, might I add it was a little after 1:00 AM? And he was one of the few players left on the bench? Records were set for length of time (5 hr. 41 minutes) , innings (14), players (43), pitchers (17) and (though not kept by major league baseball) the number of times Houston should have scored and won. Losers. Scrap Iron is pissed.

It's starting to seem like it's our year, but as a dual Chicago team fan (Cubs) I don't want to jinx anything. So, one more to go.

Geoff Blum homers in 14th inning.

Blum, who was acquired in a July 31 deadline deal with San Diego, had hit only one home run in 95 regular-season at-bats with the Sox and had batted only once in the post-season before lining a 2-0 pitch over the right field fence.

"It's been a blessing and an interesting year," Blum said. "I had about 100 of these at-bats in my backyard with my brother."

Lucky guy. Free drinks anywhere on the south side for the rest of his life.

Sox win with homers!!


Grand slam in 7th. Chicago Tribune. Posted by Picasa

Paul Konerko comes thru in 7th to give the Sox a 6 to 4 lead. After a shaky outing by Jenks and having the game tied, this homer was followed up by one from Scott Podsednik in the bottom of the ninth. One grand slam and one walk off!! Most dramatic. Chicago is doing it right!

Leading best of seven series 2 to 0.

Walk off wins Game 2!!

First the White Sox needed a grand slam from Paul Konerko to pull ahead in the 7th inning. Then after the score went back to a tie, Podsednik hit his second homer of the post season in the bottom of the 9th to win game 2.

Go Sox!!
