Playoffs Pants Party: White Sox vs. Red Sox

We know no one really remembers that the White Sox are actually in the playoffs, but we actually know some White Sox fans, so they do exist, apparently. Most people are giving this series to Boston, which seems odd, considering the White Sox had a better record, home-field advantage and more than, say, zero starting pitchers.

But look at the picks from across the Web:

• Baseball Prospectus: Red Sox in five. • Hardball Times: Red Sox in five. • Beyond The Box Score: Red Sox in five. • Oddjack: White Sox win Game One.

Well, that wasn't much fun. Most of the Red Sox bloggers are too concerned about the bar being out of corn nuts to make predictions, we guess. (Come on: We kid because we love.) Or, to put it the way they would, too busy watching DVD of their World Series sweep over the Cardinals. Grumble.
