Sorry if this is anywhere else--search is my friend but I could turn up nothing. Chicago and LA/Anaheim are tied 3-3 with 2 out in the 7th as I type this. Go-ahead run at 2nd. Can Chicago win their first pennant since 1959?
Try two days! The Sox lost to the Dodgers on October 8, 1959.
Ran out to the store for some ciggies earlier and overhead the guy behind the counter gruffly say "baseball season is over" to some customer who wanted to talk baseball.
Obviously a pissed off hard-core Red Sox fan. He probably won't even watch the World Serious.
I've been enjoying rooting for HOU and CHW.
Want to see HOU - CHW in the Series. Will root for CHW.
Chicago White Sox
CHICAGO IN THE WORLD SERIES FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 46 YEARS!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>> Want to see HOU - CHW in the Series. Will root for CHW.
Same here...though I kinda like HOU too. Usually root for
AL team in WS, unless that team comes from the Bronx.
Just damn.
If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
From the old hard-luck days of the CWS:
" "If I was going to storm a pill box, going to sheer, utter, certain death, and the colonel said, "Shepherd, pick six guys," I'd pick six White Sox fans, because they have known death every day of their lives and it holds no terror for them."-- JEAN SHEPHERD
Indeed.
The first baseball game I ever went to was at Old Comiskey, and watched Dick Allen and Wilbur Wood....
4 straight complete games. First time thats happened in the playoffs since the '56 WS. Incredible.
Pinging Canteen most famous Cubs fan ON THIS LOL!
Just watched it. Chicago kicked their butt!
What a joke. The Angels just got mind-F***ed on national TV. Three straight games. In their own crib. I thought that Disney divested itself of the Angels, cause what just finished was definitely Mickey Mouse.
That said, congrats to the White Sox. They played Angels baseball better than the Angels did. Go Houston!
Hey, Yankees fans--the Sox won the AL Pennant! (The _White_ Sox, that is!!)
"I don't believe it. He hits into a double play! A-ROD IS
A DOG! HE'S A DOG WITH FLEAS!!"
--Yankee-loving Fox Sports Radio host J.T. The Brick
I'll always be a die-hard Cub fan, but the SouthSiders still hold a special place in my heart...
Chicago:
(the orig.) Pizzeria Uno. Jazz Record Mart. USCellular. Wrigley. Museum of Broadcasting. Museum of Science and Industry. Navy Pier. Chicago Blues Fest. Da Bulls. Da Bearss. DA AL CHAMPION WHITE SOX!
As a Cubs fan, I say a hearty congrats to the White Sox....
Comeback? The furthest ball that Vladimir Guerrero hit was in that stupid Pepsi commercial (with A-Rod), when he shattered the moon..and even that was a pop fly.
