Feeling Soxtastic
I was getting over this cold, or Bird Flu as I jokingly call it. I was a good boy- drinking water, tea and honey, going to bed early and dressing warm. Understandably, this all went out the window during last weeks' Sox World Series games. Due to my long days, the fellows and I would convene to watch the game around 10-11 every night. We cheered, beered, ate fried chicken and didn't go to bed until late every night. The game 3 marathon was particularly rough; it finally ended at 3am and my neck was aching from watching all 6 hours. I went to sleep for 4 hours and got up to work another monstous, Asian day. When Friday came, I felt like hell. With a runny nose, clogged head and swollen glands, I watched my boys do the unthinkable. We ended the long-standing Chicago curse! We celebrated in our own way, much smaller in scale compared to a celebration back home but satisfying still. My head is cloudy and I'm sick again. Tell me, did the White Sox really win the World Series? I'm guessing so because, as ill as I am, I have a comforting feeling of pride that trumps any sickness.

This world series had the worst ratings of any world series in the history of world series'.
That's true about the ratings, but, really, it's understandable. Who wants to watch such a lopsided contest? There was a common theme throughout the entire playoffs- no team deserves to play on the same field with the Sox. No one wants to see a lion eat a cub, pardon the pun.
they still won't sell out any games next year ;)
and boy i have been looking all over for good deals on road construction safety equipment so, as you can imagine, i am thrilled to read that guy's post
you know, i feel sorry for all you people that have to still talk down about the white sox couse it makes you feel better i guess. i dont understand it but i am sure sick of hearing this stupid fucking fued. and i will not participate in it ever again i mean you fucking cubs fans are sad.the chicago white sox win the world series and your comment is " they still won't sell out any games our it was the worst ratings ever. who gives a fuck, it was the best baseball i have ever seen and im not just saying that couse im a sox fan. and 1.7 million people showed up for the sox rally and it was bad ass.and as pallie said, i guess they will just have to come back next year and do it again to shut all you mouths for good. Best team Ever D. and that aint no lie. so fuck off
this was frio by the way if you didnt know
Freenutz,
I'm with you man, and I'm glad you enjoyed the ride. Unfortunately, there are dumbass Sox fans who are going to talk shit to cubs fans rather than celebrate. It goes both ways, there are tools on both sides. But it's silly to even get into that cubs/sox argument now, let's just celebrate this memorable time.
ps. Hey Bill, what's up with your Bears? Are they for real?
yeah I wasn't trying to stir it up - just clowning. I'm just used to playful argument exhibition on the topic. The Cubs/Sox issue is about as important to me now (football season) as recent news about the Creator of Wikis leaving Microsoft.
Besides, in any serious arena of debate, even the most mentally deficient Cubs fan will be doing exactly what I've been doing for the past few weeks - digging their head in the sand and focusing on anything but baseball. Inciting an argument will only end in humiliation at this point. The Cubs didn't even win 80 games for fucks sake.
Anyway, chill.
I have a lot of friends who, possibly due to childhood trauma or neglectful parenting, grew up their whole lives as Sox fans. These people have lived through baseball hell - something I can empathize with - and they deserve every bit of the victory. The true South Side fans deserve this, and nobody can take it away.
But for me, anyway, thank god for football. The bears are the best of the worst right now, and they are maturing with every win (3 in a row).
Kyle Orton is now the veteran of the team with 7 full regular season games under his belt, and he's guiding the offense to mediocre production that looks like Super Bowl Dynasty quality to a city starved for points.
Our defense is the best in the league, in my opinion, and if we can make it to the playoffs with a hot offense then we have a shot to make it into the second round.
We're 2 games in first in the NFC North, which really doesn't mean shit relative to the whole NFL, but god damn it's exciting.
Bear Down baby

Now that's the attitude Bill. Shit, the Bulls won, the Sox won, the Bears are winning and the top of the order (Da BullS) are starting up tomorrow, let's keep the ball rolling. Really, if it takes me staying in Asia, I'll do it for all the greatest sports fans in the world. It's strange how you'd think chicagosports would be the furthest thing from my mind here but, with all the winning, it's a good way to stay in touch with my home's pulse.
"DUE TO childhood trauma or neglectful parenting, grew up their whole lives as Sox fans."
only a gay ass wrigleyville, dumb, jealous ass would say that! the White Sox spanked all you fag north siders ass! go play in wrigleyville ..go play gay parade.
and the Cubs will never win
Dear miserable world series champ,
I think that comment by BIll was meant to be a harmless joke. If you read it in context with the rest of the post, it's a Cubs fan who gave credit to the sox and their fans, an honorable fan. Chill out and enjoy your world series instead of attacking a third base umpire you bitter sox fans.
