Roy Oswalt shows that momentum is only as strong as your next day's starting pitcher by totally shutting down the suddenly(??) slow, old looking bats of the Cardinals.Good for baseball. Two new faces in the World Series. A matchup where you could make a fairly reasonable case for either team sweeping or for the Series to go the full seven games. And that's based mainly on how the two teams played at various stretches in the season. Both teams showed long stretches of both dominance and relative mediocrity. I'm not sure when we've had a World Series matchup quite like that in the past.
Chicago is giddy with it's first appearance in the World Series in a long time. Houston now must be equally as excited at it's debut in the Fall Classic. Of course, you never forget your first. Both pitching staffs can throw guys who have shutout capabilities and both have strong, well balanced bullpens. Offenses have struggled at times, White Sox may have an edge here, being more balanced as well as stronger with the gloves.
My guess: White Sox in six or less.
