Houston, We Have a Problem

The Houston Astros were in town again this weekend, but this time, they took on the White Sox in a rematch of the 2005 World Series.

This weekend served as a great reminder as why the White Sox are champs, as they really made the Astros pay for their mistakes, taking the first two games in dramatic fashion. The Sox won game one after Scott Podsednik hit a grand slam off of Andy Pettite to give the Sox a 6-4 lead, en route to a 7-4 final.



In game two, the Sox hit another grand slam, this one clubbed out by Joe Crede off of World Series goat Chad Qualls. That one tied the game 5-5 in the 8th inning, before the Sox won it 6-5 in the tenth.




The Astros salvaged the series by winning the Sunday game in 13 innings, but not before serving up yet another grand slam (who gives up three grand slams in three games? Reeeeeediculous!) and watching their 8-run lead evaporate! Crazy!

I'm still a Cub fan, but I'll admit... these White Sox are pretty damn entertaining to watch. Next weekend will feature Cubs vs White Sox at Wrigley Field. Will we see Michael Barrett vs A.J. Pierzynski, part II? I suuuuure hope so ;-)
