much love to the chicago baseball teams; as far as i'm concerned, they're the cousins of the red sox and are to be treated with respect.

p.s. first the red sox last year and the white sox this year? i tell you, if the cubs come out of nowhere and win next year, i will be convinced that major league baseball is rigged.

Go argue semantics somewhere else. This thread is a congratulatory thread that I made because my home team won the WORLD SERIES. If you dont have something to contribute that is within the realm of the spirit by which this thread was posted, shut the hell up.

For the sake of continuity, I've deleted the troll threads as well as responses to them. Thank you very much and have a nice day!

Yes! It was a sweep. I gotta say, I'm not a huge sports fan, but I have enjoyed going to Sox games since I was a child. This has been exciting for us south siders. Those of you who missed this series and the ALCS missed some of the most heart-pounding, nail-biting baseball ever. Awesome! Just Awesome.

It's great to have a championship sports team back in Chitown!

i watched it.

Congrats White Sox!

It was exciting to watch the games, except for that last one when they went 8 innings without scoring.

I dont watch baseball on a regular basis but watching them play was quite exciting and made me appreciate the sport more.

Now here's to the Bulls! They came close last year and they keep getting better. Should be an interesting season for them.

Congrats to Chi-town!

You finally knocked off the team that spoiled our playoff chances

Hey Pun, you are right. Way to go WORLD CHAMPION

Sox!

Oh, and btw, bite me.

Now here is something interesting:
1917: White Sox win World Series
1918: Massive flu epidemic

2005: White Sox win World Series
2006: ...

Can anyone say "bird flu"?

Sarge · Post by **Sarge** » Thu Oct 27, 2005 1:03 pm

Despite the 4 game sweep, those were some really close exciting games.

Houston had their chances but never were able to capitalize with men on base. (a problem they've had all year really, much like the Brewers)

So Congrats to the White Sox, the better team (and league) won!

The yankees never win either. At least, they havent in, what now, 6 years?

behold your crumbling dynasty, yanks.

Did â??Cancer Manâ?? from the X-Files die? I thought as long as he was alive he wouldn't allow them to win the series.

kurupt · Post by **kurupt** » Thu Oct 27, 2005 4:20 pm

sox ruined our hopes of the series this year. well, we ruined it ourselves, but damn. thats heartbreaking.

Krom · Post by **Krom** » Thu Oct 27, 2005 8:21 pm

Yeah, I heard about this, took em long enough.

Tyranny · Post by **Tyranny** » Fri Oct 28, 2005 1:14 am

Just odd that two teams, both with 80+ years without winning a title, win in back-to-back years. They both sweep and both are colored sox...hrm....

go figure. Guess that is why I love this game

congrats Chi-town. Get ready to celebrate again next year, something tells me MLB will setup the Cubs to win

kurupt · Post by **kurupt** » Fri Oct 28, 2005 6:45 am

been almost 60 years since the indians won it. next year is our turn

I went to the Sox parade today. Two sweet things..

1) I got Dan Roan's autograph. If you live in Chicago, or Chicago suburbs, you most definitely know who he is.

2) I was on TV on CLTV [Chicago Land Television]

Pun · Post by **Pun** » Sat Oct 29, 2005 7:17 am

Nice, Jav. I wanted to go, but it was too busy at work for me to slip out. I heard it was crazy down there. Did ya take any pics?

*Javed* · Post by ***Javed*** » Sat Oct 29, 2005 9:45 pm

That's the one thing I sorta regret--not bringing my camera. I left with a bunch of friends from school at 11:30, and we were originally planning on going home first to change and get our sox gear on n wutnot. But we didn't want to miss any of it since the parade started at 12, so we went straight to the Kimball train station. A few of my friends got some pretty crap-quality pics on their cell phones. I'll try to get those up when they upload em.
