By AmandaTonight bellyscratcher and I join up to discuss the finer points of game four of the World Series that might just see the Chicago White Sox sweep the Houston Astros.
We saw the Astros play all season, so it shouldn't be too much of a surprise to learn that they're not the best team in the land, but swept? In the World Series? I mean, when was the last time that happened?

I’m gonna be a little late cause of traffic and I think I might pick up some beer. Oh, and for some reason the # of comments isn’t showing up on bellyitcher, but they’re there.

Take your time. I’m feeling real weird tonight, maybe coming down with something, so I’ll use your beer run to take a cat nap.
October 26th, 2005 at 4:04 pm
Ok, I’m home. Let’s Go White Sox.
October 26th, 2005 at 4:58 pm
I’m sorry you’re not feeling well. There’s something going around my office I’m trying to avoid.
October 26th, 2005 at 5:02 pm
THE BEES MUST STOP
October 26th, 2005 at 5:05 pm
OK, the kid is put to bed. Did I miss anything good?
October 26th, 2005 at 5:08 pm
Tim McCarver was talking. So, no.
October 26th, 2005 at 5:09 pm
President Bush has disappointing teeth.
Wow, I wanted Backe to get hit with a line drive and it happened. Now, for my next wish….
October 26th, 2005 at 5:12 pm
I hope that if the series ends tonight, that Chevy gives the MVP a car again. Maybe a Nova. The kind you have to push start.
October 26th, 2005 at 5:12 pm
I can’t believe they’ve said "breaking ball" so many times and Scooter still hasn’t shown up.
October 26th, 2005 at 5:15 pm
How about a ’73 Impala? That’s about what the country thinks of this series.
October 26th, 2005 at 5:15 pm
Hush! You don’t want to give them ideas.
October 26th, 2005 at 5:16 pm
These games take forever, don’t they? I don’t know how I made it through last October.
October 26th, 2005 at 5:22 pm
So, we once again find ourselves needing an outfielder. I think Jason Marquis and his sinker would fit well in your teeny park. You ya gonna give me?
October 26th, 2005 at 5:24 pm
Hmmm…let’s see. There are the usual suspects, of course, but I think you should consider Jacob Cruz. He’s a great pinch hitter, can occasionally run for himself, and is just a helluva guy.
October 26th, 2005 at 5:27 pm
Or, if you don’t like that one, little Ray Olmedo has been willing to try out his outfield chops. He’s cute as a button and might make Eckstein look tall.
October 26th, 2005 at 5:29 pm
Or you can have Dunn. He’s pretty worthless.
October 26th, 2005 at 5:31 pm
Well, see, we’ve got lots of lovely bench players. Nunez, Rodriguez, Taguchi. And they’re all sweethearts. I’m looking for a young everyday guy who’s possibly a jerk. Say, around $5 million.
October 26th, 2005 at 5:32 pm
I know of lots of people who would love Dunn.
October 26th, 2005 at 5:32 pm
I love the triple.
October 26th, 2005 at 5:34 pm
Dunn doesn’t get any triples.
October 26th, 2005 at 5:35 pm
Dunn’s a big boy, isn’t he? I’m not in his fan group. Too many Ks. We have Jimmy and Reggie for that. Need a higher OPB guy.
October 26th, 2005 at 5:38 pm
My crack technical staff discovered some post statistics on RHM, and I think it’s a testament to you that eight of the ten most viewed posts are smack talk.
Of course, lots of those views are us, but still…
October 26th, 2005 at 5:38 pm
Actually, the strikeouts are misleading there. Dunn’s on base like crazy.
October 26th, 2005 at 5:40 pm
The smack talk is a crowd pleaser on bellyitcher as well. I can only see individual page views, but they’re all in the top group.
Yeah, Adam does walk. And hit home runs. And strike out. Let’s call the GMs and tell them to get the deal done. That job’s not so hard.
October 26th, 2005 at 5:45 pm
I want more than Marquis for him, though. Lots of people think Dunn’s all that, while on the other hand, I had Marquis on my fantasy team and know better.
October 26th, 2005 at 5:47 pm
We’ll throw in Ray King.
October 26th, 2005 at 5:50 pm
There’s someone who can THROW Ray King??
October 26th, 2005 at 5:51 pm
Our GM is amazing. And Dunn has a giant melon. We gotta balance things out a bit.
October 26th, 2005 at 5:52 pm
So do fans at World Series games just stand the entire time?
October 26th, 2005 at 5:56 pm
In the four times the Cards have been in my lifetime, I’ve never been to a World Series game. But I think they do until they stop serving beer.
October 26th, 2005 at 6:00 pm
Ah beer…it fortifies the legs of the weary fans and warms the crazy shirtless dudes with crap painted on their chests.
Are there any of those tonight? I haven’t noticed any, but sure there must be some somewhere.
October 26th, 2005 at 6:05 pm
I need to be meaner to the Astros.
Berkman is fat.
October 26th, 2005 at 6:05 pm
Slow too.
October 26th, 2005 at 6:07 pm
I haven’t seen any. But the Astros fans aren’t very smart, so there should be plenty of guys with crap painted on their chests.
October 26th, 2005 at 6:07 pm
OK, Sox. Time to wake up the bats. This is Brandon Backe for Pete’s sake.
October 26th, 2005 at 6:09 pm
Damn, four innings down and still scoreless. These guys do remember the part about hitting the ball, right?
October 26th, 2005 at 6:09 pm
I’m not sure. I think they just like to wave at it and watch.
October 26th, 2005 at 6:14 pm
Four and a half and still no score. I hope this isn’t another of those extra inning affairs.
Of course, now Houston’s up. Maybe they can finally get that lead they’ll be giving up later.
October 26th, 2005 at 6:16 pm
Ooooh, I hope Lidge gets the loss.
October 26th, 2005 at 6:17 pm
You think they’ll risk putting him in again?
October 26th, 2005 at 6:19 pm
Ha ha. Get the DP even with the hit and run.
October 26th, 2005 at 6:21 pm
Well, darn it all, the Astros are going to get that lead by hitting into double plays.
Seriously, it’s the fifth and still no Scooter. Are they saving him up to take over for McCarver in the eighth?
October 26th, 2005 at 6:22 pm
Yeah, Lidge did fine yesterday. Too bad Albert wasn’t there for the Latino thing earlier. Would’ve scared Brad’s pants off.
October 26th, 2005 at 6:22 pm
How did these assholes beat us?
October 26th, 2005 at 6:24 pm
They do get a car!
October 26th, 2005 at 6:26 pm
The Astros were better than this while beating your guys. Unfortunately, now they’re emulating your guys.
October 26th, 2005 at 6:27 pm
That car thing is totally lame. What car could possibly be valuable enough that it would really be a treat for a baseball player? It ain’t no Chevy, I can tell you that.
Now a Dodge on the other hand. That Prowler’s really something.
October 26th, 2005 at 6:29 pm
Pretty much. The Astros are rising to a Cub-level of annoyance for me. The Cubs are cute and bad. The Astros are not either.
October 26th, 2005 at 6:29 pm
I think the MVP should get a wood paneled PT Cruiser. In team colors.
October 26th, 2005 at 6:31 pm
PT Cruiser? If it’s wood paneled, it’s gotta be a station wagon.
October 26th, 2005 at 6:32 pm
The PT woodies are the ugliest cars outside of the Scion. An ex co-worker had a purple one. Shudder.
October 26th, 2005 at 6:35 pm
Buehrle is a HUGE Cards fan.
October 26th, 2005 at 6:36 pm
If they didn’t want the car, the sponsors ought to offer alternate prizes, like gift certificate to Bob Evans and Red Lobster.
October 26th, 2005 at 6:37 pm
Oh, that made me laugh. Bob Evans.
Have you noticed that Fox couldn’t get any celebrities to go to Houston? That’s pretty damning.
October 26th, 2005 at 6:38 pm
Well what the heck famous fans do the Astros and White Sox have? Actually, it would have been a great opportunity for some B-star to get some face time just by going to a baseball game.
October 26th, 2005 at 6:40 pm
Hello man in a salmon pink shirt. You’re color palatte matches the ability of your team.
October 26th, 2005 at 6:42 pm
Grammar. Your.
October 26th, 2005 at 6:43 pm
You mean "rosy"?
Actually, and forgive me for my incredible crudeness, my dad used to call salmon pink "dog dick pink." That’s probably closer to the level of quality you meant, huh?
October 26th, 2005 at 6:46 pm
2 outs, 0-2, bases loaded in the bottom of the 6th. Astros choke-fest underway.
October 26th, 2005 at 6:48 pm
told ya.
October 26th, 2005 at 6:50 pm
Yes. That describes the color perfectly. It’s like "baby shit yellow" Volvos.
Is there a more gimmicky park than Minute Maid?
October 26th, 2005 at 6:50 pm
You are smart. That strike out is gonna hurt.
October 26th, 2005 at 6:53 pm
What the heck? It’s the freaking seventh inning and still no score. Are they trying to bore each other to death?
October 26th, 2005 at 6:54 pm
And a great big BOO to the pathetic excuses for signs in the stands tonight. Do they have total lame-asses handing them out out front?
October 26th, 2005 at 6:56 pm
Again, the Astros fans are not smart. They live in Texas. Witty to them means something to do with oil. What, I don’t know, but something.
October 26th, 2005 at 6:58 pm
I reckon.
October 26th, 2005 at 6:59 pm
The standings are lopsided, but these have been some damn good games.
October 26th, 2005 at 7:01 pm
Crede hits the deep double and they hold the runner? Do they [em]like[/em] this scoreless crap?
Of course, it was deep to left, not a lot of room for running there. I reckon.
October 26th, 2005 at 7:02 pm
You’re right; you can tell these teams are really very evenly matched right now.
Weird, cause I saw the ‘stros play this season. Guess it’s all about the momentum.
October 26th, 2005 at 7:04 pm
I think they do like it. I can’t explain it otherwise. Y’all.
October 26th, 2005 at 7:04 pm
As old as Barbara Bush looked when we were kids, she doesn’t look much older now. Must be them Texas victuals.
October 26th, 2005 at 7:07 pm
I dunno if I’d say they’re all that very evenly matched, Astros can’t hit for shit. But the WS pitching hasn’t been as nails as it was against the Angels, either. I’d say the Astros have been let into games rather than getting into them for themselves, if you follow.
A decent singing for once. Nice.
October 26th, 2005 at 7:08 pm
I’m talking out my ass. I haven’t even been watching. I just overheard someone say that they were evenly matched.
No kidding, a solid 2/3 of the stuff you read on RHM is me blowing smoke. I’m all bluff.
Holler.
October 26th, 2005 at 7:13 pm
No, in a way you’re totally right, they’ve been very close games. A call here, a bounce there and we’re looking at a very different series. The difference is, as in the NLCS, the better team takes advantage of those "breaks" more than the lesser team.
Grits.
October 26th, 2005 at 7:18 pm
Or I could be talking out of my ass. Who knows? Baseball is funny that way.
October 26th, 2005 at 7:23 pm
Yee haw!!!
October 26th, 2005 at 7:25 pm
A run! Oh happy day!
Yonder.
October 26th, 2005 at 7:25 pm
I think it would be really cool to be a resource for people who bluff about baseball. Like, the new guy on the company outing to a game wants something to say that will make him sound witty and knowledgable so he comes to RHM and goes to the game saying "suckitude" and "demmit."
Or in the case of this game, "consarnit"
October 26th, 2005 at 7:27 pm
Talking out of your ass is an art form, no doubt. Especially re: baseball. It’s so easy to throw out things like VORP and ERA+ and astound your audience even if you have no idea what they mean.
Love how Joe manages to work the Cardinals in.
Uh oh. No extra outs.
October 26th, 2005 at 7:33 pm
Taveras didn’t want those fingers anyway. But shouldn’t that be a strike? The hands are an extension of the bat, aren’t they?

Pitching change? I thought the HBP and wild pitch were part of their strategy.
October 26th, 2005 at 7:42 pm
So many St. Louis boys.
October 26th, 2005 at 7:45 pm
Sorry, I had to reboot.
Lidge is toast.
October 26th, 2005 at 7:50 pm
When was the last time an NL team won a WS game? Sigh.
October 26th, 2005 at 7:51 pm
Doofus. What was that miserable excuse for a bunt?
October 26th, 2005 at 7:53 pm
2003 World Champion Marlins.
October 26th, 2005 at 7:53 pm
That bunt made baby Jesus cry.
October 26th, 2005 at 7:54 pm
Oh, don’t cry! Someone’s about to win a Chevrolet!
October 26th, 2005 at 7:56 pm
Three outs to go.
I wouldn’t mind this going to 7 games. I’m really really going to miss baseball.
October 26th, 2005 at 7:57 pm
Yeah, me too. But it’ll be good to have a bit of a break. I’ve got some administrative stuff I’ve been needing to work on, plus I’ve got a handful of offseason ideas. Definitely be on the lookout for the Georginator 5000.
October 26th, 2005 at 8:00 pm
Lane gets a hit to start off the bottom of the ninth. I did NOT think that was going to fall.
October 26th, 2005 at 8:01 pm
Nice, Ausmus. Good to see that someone in this game knows how to bunt.
October 26th, 2005 at 8:03 pm
The Cardinals radio guy, Mike Shannon, pronounces his name "Assmass." It’s how I like to think of him.
October 26th, 2005 at 8:04 pm
HOLY CRAP
October 26th, 2005 at 8:06 pm
Holy shit, Uribe.
October 26th, 2005 at 8:06 pm
Well, there you go. After that catch in fowl territory, that last out seems anticlimactic.
Who’s turn is it next year? Cubs?
October 26th, 2005 at 8:10 pm
What a play to end it.
WHOOOOO HOOOOOOOO
So this is what it feels like to watch a sweep and not care. I like it.
Congratulations to the White Sox. The (2nd) best team in the game won. Not a stupid Wild Card.
October 26th, 2005 at 8:10 pm
But who gets the car???
October 26th, 2005 at 8:11 pm
Good question.
Think how sad Cub fans must be.
October 26th, 2005 at 8:13 pm
Shoeless Joe can rest easy. Very nice.
October 26th, 2005 at 8:13 pm
You know, there are crates full of "Astros 2006 World Championship" hats and shirts that will never see the light of day. Maybe we’ll run across some of them in a Big Lots some day.
October 26th, 2005 at 8:14 pm
Maybe I can find a "Cardinals 2004 World Champions" shirt.
October 26th, 2005 at 8:16 pm
Dye wins the car? Should be Crede.
October 26th, 2005 at 8:18 pm
Oh yeah, I meant 2005. Dumb typo.
Chevy SSR. w00t!
October 26th, 2005 at 8:18 pm
"Thank you, Mr. Chevy. Now I’m going to go drink my weight in champagne and drive that cheap-ass car around."
October 26th, 2005 at 8:20 pm
You forgot: "On the outfield of this shithole of a stadium."
October 26th, 2005 at 8:23 pm
Thanks for staying up with me, darlin’. I’ll see you next spring. Actually, hopefully, sooner. Stop by once in a while, and I’ll do the same. When the blockbuster trade between our teams goes down, we’ll have lots to talk about. Not least of which is relative hotness.
October 26th, 2005 at 8:27 pm
Woo, it *is* late. Alarm goes off in less than six hours. Ugh.
I’ll be around; I don’t think I could stop if I wanted to. It’s been great fun. I look back at our first smack talk and all 12 barbs we traded and think, if nothing else, WE have grown this season.
Next year ought to be good.
October 26th, 2005 at 8:30 pm
You best be thinkin’ of smack all Spring Training. I know I will.
(Sorry, still in Texas mode)
