White Sox are just a bunch of cheaters!!!

First Perzinski orchestrates the worst call in baseball history, then he reaches out and grabs Finley's bat with his glove...and yesterday Dye gets an Oscar nod for acting like he got hit by a baseball that missed him by 6 inches and hit off his bat...and thus costing the Astros the game.

I am sick of them and placing a hex on their World Series. I hope they die a terrible and trecherous death.

Have to love these trolls that come here talking loads of crap. Although I am a Cubs fan, I feel obliged to discuss yesterday's call. Here are my observations:

(1) Dye admitted that the ball hit his bat and not him. He didn't even sell it that much. It was the ump that told him to take first. What's Dye going to do? Say no and commit career suicide so some idiot can have his peace?

(2) The ball thrown was ball 4 and was such a bad pitch that Dye couldn't get out of the way. Perhaps the pitcher should pitch more effectively.

(3) Yes, it is the White Sox's fault that that just happened to hit a bomb for a grand slam. Maybe the pitcher should have gotten Konerko out and then it would have been a moot point.

(4) The Astros ended up tying the game making that point effectively a moot point at that time.

(5) And I'm sure it was the White Sox's fault that they won the game on a home run off Lidge.

(6) What is funny about these trolls is that they only remember the most recent events and even only those they want to remember. Bear in mind, there is no mention of Bagwell sticking out his leg on Saturday night to get on 1st. Or God, how about Biggio. This guy has made a career out of getting hit or playing the game to make everyone think he got hit. Payback is sweet.

(7) As a Cubs fan, this was truly karma for me. Last year at Wrigley, Mike Remlinger (I believe) threw a ball high and tight to that fat a$$ Elvis Berkman and he fell to the ground saying he got hit. Well, replays show the ball missed him by 2-3 inches, but he is still on the floor selling an injury. The umps bought it, but forgot the Oscar at home. Karma is so sweet.

Now, go under your rock and hide again.

the w sox are known cheats...............lol

I was pretty PO'ed myself last night, and I've calmed down enough to be rational again.

30 teams spent $2,191,570,898 and played a total of 2,430 games have been played to determine which 8 teams made the playoffs. Some guys never see a single WS game, much less a ring, throughout their entire career. And people actually believe some jackass who didn't even see the play, but he "heard" it (going on sound... what are we frigging whales - then again after seeing most umps, nevermind), has the right to make that kind of call? The White Sox were given a base on balls, when it should have remained a full count. We'll never know what Dye would have done in that at-bat thanks to another horrendous call, hell the White Sox may not even be playing this game if the game 2 ALCS call wasn't botched...

Instant replay is needed now more than ever.

Do you realize how absurd that is? Remember if the dog wouldn't have stopped to take a sh_t, he'd have caught the rabbit.
Sour grapes.

how is it absurd? the game is tied at 1 in the tenth. both teams with roughly an equal chance of winning. if the angels did win, up 2-0 in the series and coming back to anaheim. the same game 3, 4 and 5 outcomes would not necessarily have happened this way around if the player’s mindsets were different. hell if a butterfly can cause a hurricane by flapping its wings, imagine what an ump getting a call correct could do. sour grapes – no; tainted playoffs – yes.

let me be clear about this – my gripe is NOT the white sox, although i wanted anaheim to win that series. my gripe is the lack of instant replay for the aforementioned reasons in my above post.

Yup, the umps won those other three games for the Sox in the ALCS and Houston's comeback meant nothing in came two of the World Series. Yup, all is right with the world now.

Some people are possessed with pure stupidity.

Are you dense? You're twisting what I wrote. I did NOT say the White Sox shouldn't be in the WS or the umpires put them in the WS, but rather they MAY not be in the WS had the umpires not botched the game 2 call. Is this concept that hard to understand?

And as far as Houston's comeback in game 2 on the WS, it may or may not have been needed depending on what Dye would have done in his 7th inning at bat. What the comeback did do is put both closers in a losing role. Lidge is certainly not alright after the Pujols blast, and I heard that Jenks, a guy that has has a history of alcohol problems, was drinking like crazy after allowing 2 in the top of the 9th on Sunday.

Gee, the last time the White Sox cheated in the WS, they were trying to LOSE!!

Except Shoeless Joe, of course!

jaxxr

Somehow the Whitesox have managed to "cheat' their way to about 14 wins in their last 15 games, including postseason !!!

Sour is not a strong enough adjective ( re: Sour Grapes ) for the crying folk who think instant replay is part of MLB.

Hardly...although when you called me a troll, I did have a good laugh when I realized I have nearly double your posts and you signed on a year earlier than I.

You are flat out wrong about Dye not trying to sell it that much. Watch the clip again and you'll notice him jump up and start to flap his right elbow considerably (just like one would if one actually got hit with an 85+ mph pitch), all while starting to walk down to first base.

Give it up, they cheated in 1917 and they cheated in 2005. Put an asterisk up boys.

They cheated the astros and made them go 0 for their last 26 with runners in scoring position?

IrishMike

As a White Sox fan for 50 years if I was an Angel fan I'd be upset, but you can't blame the ump for missing the call, he can't see it, you can blame him for causing confusion. Fact is it was amplified because of it being a playoff game. He has the right to express his displeasure and of course we have the right to point out dissenting opinions. No need to get into a name calling hissy fit over it.

Axtell

It's funny when people try to pin an entire game and/or series on one play.

saying the astros lost because of one play, or whatever, is ludicrous. The Astros batted just .203 in the series, and were horrific with runners in scoring position.

What does that have to do with anything? Post counts are worthless.



<< <i>Give it up, they cheated in 1917 and they cheated in 2005. Put an asterisk up boys. >>



Does that mean we can put astericks by the 85 Royals and any other team that benefited poor calls by the umps? One of the key calls in the Cards/Astros series was a phantom tag of Molina at second that killed a potential rally. Maybe without that the Astros wouldn't have won the series and deserve an asterick too.... The possibilities are endless lets asterick them all!

WinPitcher

Blown calls are part of the game, just as what Dye did is part of the game.

I'm just disappointed it went only 4 games!

Leave the White Sox alone, at least now we won;t have to hear about the "black Sox" scandal when they miss the playoffs or don't win a chamionship anymore.
