Keep your Sox on!
I don't follow sports much, but I am a proud Chicagoan now and this is very good news:
The White Sox completed their incredible conquest Wednesday night, eliminating the final demons that haunted the franchise since their last World Series title in 1917.
They completed their stunning run in a manner that mirrored their amazingly successful season, riding the pitching of Freddy Garcia and the bullpen to a 1-0 victory over Houston and completing a four-game sweep of the 2005 World Series.
There goes my theory that every World Series is rigged so they'll go to seven games and sell all the advertising slots. And leave it to Da Mayor to waste no time in planning the celebration.
City officials planned to announce Thursday details regarding a parade and rally for the White Sox.
City Hall sources said late Wednesday that the celebration "probably" would be on Monday, beginning with a motorcade of players and their families leaving U.S. Cellular Field. The motorcade likely will wind through several Chicago neighborhoods before arriving at Grant Park for a rally.
Will it be the Cubs' turn next year?
