Homerism warning

Happy Anniversary White Sox and Happy Anniversary Chicago. One year ago today, we won the World Series for the first time since 1917. Let's take this opportunity to reflect back on that magical season; forget the fact that the Sox could easily have been champs again this year. The stars really aligned for us that year; it was such a memorable run.

-Paulie having a kid and then ending the week with a World Series grand slam
-Pods homer against the Bo-Sox when we piled in 11 runs
-Blum coming off the bench to hit his 14th inning homer
-Juan Uribe's superman dive into the stands
-AJ stealing first base
-Joe Clutch earning his name with the AJ-scoring double
-Dominant pitching performance after dominant pitching performance
-Really, I could go on and on

Sox fans, just take this moment to savor the title, remember the joy and all the emotions. Relive the goosebumps and the elation. Pop in the World Series DVD. Smoke one more stoagie. Let John Rooney's voice ring through your ears once more; admit it, you have his call on your iPod, just like me.


If you're still feeling down, hell all I can say to cheer you up is 1908.

It's nice that you were able to be a player on a World Series team. Or wait, were you in the front office? A scout?

Sorry for identifying myself with my favorite team. Such a crime isn't it? I appreciate you calling me out on it, as it is such a rarity.

Yeah, so that didn't work. But I wrote an article about the whole "We Won" vs. "They won" thing awhile back. I'll try and paste the link here, but I don't know if it will work. http://www.a...title=Poll:_"They_won!"_or_"We_won!"

The whole world can't even watch these events! In Australia they only broadcast the Big Four on pay tv and even on that it doesn't seem as comprehensive as it should be. And I'm pretty sure most people around the world wouldn't even know what the hell they're doing out on the field (i.e. "What's a touchdown?", "Why are they wearing strange helmets and gigantic shoulder pads?", etc.). And in the Australian Football League (AFL) even though it's a indegenous Australian sport we don't call our league champion the World Champion. "West Coast Eagles 2006 World Champions", pffft. And what about in the CFL? They don't call the winner of the Grey Cup the "World Champions".

"forget the fact that the Sox could easily have been champs again this year" Huh? So easily that they didn't even make the playoffs?

Haha, you got me. There's some outright homerism there. Guilty as charged.

Such loving passion for your team! Jeeves, you'll make someone a great wife someday!

I voted for it. White Sox fans are alright in my book. STILL No ones believes they actually won last year. "Don't Stop Believing" (a song about a boy from Detroit)

It's gonna be a GREAT trivia question in a few years...

WHO won the 2005 World Series? the crowd will hush and no one will know the answer!

Long Live Tom Gamboa!

Remember when the White Sox almost choked and let the Indians pass them up in 2005?
