Some interesting info I found on the pitchers in this Game.....But it's the post season ...The Astros Know how to win games in the playoffs. With fans in the stadium..Yet to see what the Whitesox will do. That being said game 2 is a Big one for both teams.. looked like the Sox go a little into the Astros bullpen late innings and made a little noise before being put to sleep. What are you guys thinking in this one?
