White Sox!!!

[Nixit]

Alright... I know a lot of you don't live in America, or if you do, might not follow baseball... but the WHITE SOX WON THE WORLD SERIES!!! YEAH CHICAGO!!! First World Series in 88 years!!!

Yawn.
Baseball in a word.
I'm wearing red socks.
But.. I don't like the team.
I don't like any of them. None at all.
Unless I can't sleep. Then I like them, when combined with my pillow.
Yawn.


(EDIT: Can someone explain the whole red socks white socks team names? I find them mindboggling.)

I'm very happy, I don't particularly like the White Sox, but I really hate Houston. Games 2 and 3 were awesome to watch, I didn't see game four. My Braves should not have been knocked out in the first round though.

[Nixit]

Yeah, Two and Three were amazing.... but game four I missed most of, except the end. Apparently it was a pitcher's duel, a good one I heard, but a pitcher's duel nonetheless.

I am a Cardinal fan but so I hate Houston....

As a red sox fan, I could identify with what the white sox were going through and was happy for them. But I wanted a better series. They were all awesome games. You got everything from grand slam comebacks to amazing pitcher duels, but the series scoreboard makes it look like a blowout.

Houston played great, and definitely deserved to take one or two away.

All I know is, the Cubs better jump on the bandwagon and reverse their curse before 2008 rolls around. Going a century without a title is harsh.

And to all those non-American, non-Japanese, non-Latin American, non-South Americans out there who don't understand the "sox":

Some teams in the beginning years of baseball were named after their sock colors. This got old after a while, but the Chicago White Sox and the Boston Red Sox like to keep it old-school.

Look, you've got your weird futbol rivalries and nuances that we'll never understand, and we've got our weird baseball rivalries and nuances that you'll never understand.

All I know is, last year when the red sox won it all, I cried with joy, along with the entire New England area and the extended red sox nation, so to me, baseball's anything but a "yawn." Go Sox!

[A Neo Irony]

Go Sox!

Ah-ah, you've got to specify which Sox you're refering to, now. I'm sad the Red Sox couldn't pull off a second victory this year, but atleast the Yankees didn't win. Atleast I felt like we were half there. Just with a little bit of spray paint on our feet.

But with baseball over with now... Go Pats!
