An Important element to consider for the World Series

The managers.

I think this factor is being overlooked a little bit. Ozzie Guillen is by far the better of the two and has,imo, a better grasp of the game the "old scrape iron". Garner will have his pen depleted by the 3rd game. Ozzie is more of a thinking man's manager, while Garner is just plain awful. Sox can win close games and have better situational match-ups in the pen then the Stos. Ozzie coached in the NL w/Fl and can play an Nl style if need be. Houston will struggle to score runs in this series. I like the Sox.

Ozzie is not a better manager that Garner. Remember when Garner took over, Houston was dead. He took them to the playoffs last year, and they were 15 games out this year at one time. They have the far better closer. Problem they have is scoring runs on the road. I feel the White Sox will win, but it is far from a lock.

I think they are both damn good!

I said it before. Ozzie was the difference.

Ozzie sure did make a believer out of a lot of his critics, he was getting ripped around here earlier in the season.

I think Phil Garner is a good manager though....its not like he has much to work with , with that limited line up.

Harold Reynolds during mid season or so said that he was the guy they needed becuase he was different and was'nt afraid to rip into the veteran players to motivate them.

If Harold says Ozzie is good, then I believed him since then. I didnt listen to anyone else.
