And what does their manager, Phil Garner, do in the first moments after the White Sox punched them in the gut by beating them in the 14th inning of Game 3, 7-5?

He rips his team.

Not once did he credit the Chicago pitchers, especially the relievers, for holding his hitters to a 1-for-33 showing after Jason Lane hit his home run that wasn't in the fourth inning. (The umpires blew another call. Please label it as evidence No. 463 that the commissioner of baseball needs to conduct a full review of postseason umpire assignments as soon as this World Series is over.)

Not once did the manager accept any blame or responsibility himself. But remember, this is a guy who showed up Brad Ausmus in the 10th inning by throwing a public fit when Ausmus flied out on a pitch when Orlando Palmeiro had second base stolen. And it's the same guy who showed up his entire team by flinging a chair against the dugout wall when Geoff Blum hit his game-breaking home run in the 14th.
 
What I wanna know is why he waited for 46 pitches to finally get Oswalt out of there when it was CLEAR he was struggling and the Sox had managed to get him figured out?

I love my Astros, but come on...bleh unfortunately, I also have that sinking feeling (a.k.a. Houston Stomach) that tonight will be it and we will have another World Series sweep courtesy of the American League. :(

Gotta give credit to the Sox though, they have been on fire in the postseason, and thats what champions do.

I am still proud of our guys making it though. :) Beating St. Louis was my personal favorite triumph... ;)
