White sox and sandals!

Chicago has a something to cheer for this week! Our not so beloved white sox has done the unthinkable! A championship that has been long gone for at least 80 plus years! Geographically speaking the North siders and South siders are divided by Madison Ave. That's the line across the sand that many have crossed since the Sox have had a winning season. As a kid my first game was a sox game, my first baseball jersey was a Sox uniform(The old school style, It's still in my closet!). My problem with the cubs fans is they are all yuppy 30 something, talk on the cellphone the entire time, there to drink more than watch the game, and Cheer when cubs win and could careless when they are loosing. Sox have a everyman quality to them that seems so honest. They deserve to win and sweeping almost every team they came up against proves they wanted it more that some of their northern cousins! Anyway I am going to be down there for their ticker tape parade and I'm going to cheer for our monochromatic friends!

PS: and as for that really bad Journey song they have been blaring everywhere I will forgive them because after all if these guys weren't ball players they would be factory workers drinking in some dive with the song playing in the background anyway!
