2015 All-Time Franchise Tournament: WHITE SOX WIN!

[Lament]

If the White Sox can take tomorrow's game and steal a game seven in Fenway, will the decision to take 2000 Pedro over 1999 Pedro be the biggest reason the Red Sox don't repeat? Cause there's no way 1999 Pedro would lose tomorrow's game...

[Norah]

I've regretted that move regardless of what happens tomorrow.

Why the fuck did they take Pedro out after six?

Why the fuck did they take Pedro out after six?

My favourite WhatIf move is leaving a pitcher in to bat in a key situation in the 5th-6th inning when he's allowed like 8 runs on 15 hits.

Pulling the pitcher early for no reason is a close second, though.

They're like the anti Grady Little.

I'm so fucking nervous about this game.

[Lament]

I spent a long time trying to decide between Doc White and Ted Lyons. I even read their wikipedia pages and found out Doc White was a co-composer of a very popular (and apparently racist) song back in the day. It feels wrong not starting Ted Lyons (considering he WAS the White Sox for a long time), but I'm gonna go with the guy who logged a win and a save in the greatest upset in baseball history.

I have a nagging feeling Yaz is gonna have a monster game.

[Norah]

He's due.

[Lament]

The Red Sox and White Sox have played twelve games so far. Not only have each of them won six, but the total score of those twelve games is...58-58.

[Norah]

Whoever wins better advance to the World Series.

It kills me that we are relying on that asshole Schilling.

[Norah]

I know. I really thought having Pedro in game 6 would be good insurance against having to rely on anyone in game 7.
