Chicago Wins The World Series
In Sports today, the other Chicago MLB team won the World Series. In other news, the city of Chicago doesn't care. The North Side is where it's at, and the Windy City still embraces The Loveable Losers.
I will say one thing - I've enjoyed watching the White Sox. With a payroll ranked 13th in the MLB, they played real baseball. They don't have the big name power hitter, or jam packed All Star lineup like some other losers. Instead, they built a solid team that plays the fundemental ball. They were ranked in the bottom for just about every team statistic this year (except HRs), yet they won the most games. They played great defense, and their crazy ass manager made them play as a team.
Sure the ratings probably sucked for this series, but it was some of the greatest ball I've seen in years. Every game was close, one game played way into the next morning, and in the end the state of Texas has to wait for their first World Series Championship.
This Cub fan salutes the White Sox for their great season. This year the White Sox, next year the Cubs!*
*typo. The sentence should read "... Next year the Cubs continue to suck and hopefully Dusty Baker is fired, Kerry Wood is traded, D. Lee wins the Triple Crown, and the Braves finally let someone else win the NL East."

Great Blogging
Grats to the Sox.
It was a long time coming!
ummm now are there any other teams that haven't won in 80 some odd years???!
why do you call these things "the world series"? is there actually anyone else in the world that plays this game?
Yes. There is actually a team from Toronto. Just because the sport is based out of the US, doesn't mean it can't be a World event. A large number of players in the MLB are non-american. Baseball also doesn't have as large of a following as say soccer so you can't have a truly "world" event such as the Cup. However, the teams consist of the best players in the world and therefore it can be called the World Series.
That, or it's cause us Americans are arrogant and don't care what anybody else thinks.
