1. Congratulations.

The Sox are fun to watch. I can see why they were the best team in baseball this season.

[swag]

2. Well, nice going White Sox.

Well done.

Best wishes for the series, Chicago White Sox fans.

[IndyOp]

3. So, St. Louis won? Well, that is GOOD news!

;-)

[jobycom]

6. Right country, close enough

:-)

[IndyOp]

18. Thanks - everyone once in a while I like to check to see

how 'inclusive' DUers really are by posting something in the sports forum. So far, no one has suggested that I be tied to train tracks shortly before the noon express comes through town.

:)

[jobycom]

19. We're debating it behind closed doors. I think you'll survive, though

The White Sox fans are too happy to care, and the St Louis fans are on the verge of depression.

[IndyOp]

22. If it increases the possibility that I will survive, I will add that

I grew up in St. Louis when Ozzie Smith was doing backflips in the Cards backfield - the magic of the Cards during the 80's was something to behold. I took a B&W TV to grad school with me and broke down and bought a color TV to watch the World Series in color. To all St. Louis fans: Buck Up! The Cards Will Rise Again!

:kick:

[jobycom]

26. They might

but hopefully not this season! :P

[jobycom]

4. Way to go! See you in Houston.

Or not, depending. :-)

[cal04]

5. Congratulations! Great series.

Someone in Venezuela will be just as happy tonight

[Wabbajack]

13. delete

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

7. From a lifelong South Side Cub fan, congratulations!!!

There are fireworks exploding all over Oak Lawn right now.

I'm thinking of my beloved Daddy and my brother Terry right now. I know there's a huge party going on in heaven right now and they're both right in the middle of it.

Congratulations to every Sox player and fan. You guys deserve it!!!!

[kanrok]

12. Thanks man...takes a lot of class to congratulate a Sox fan

Cheers.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

21. Hey Kanrok, I'm a female, but any Cub fan that won't

congratulate the Sox are not REAL baseball fans IMHO.

I have to admit that some Sox fans can be really over the top when it comes to the Cubs, but what the hell, we're all Chicagoans.

As for the controversy in game 2, the Angel's catcher made a fundamental mistake. He should of tagged Pierzynski with the ball instead of rolling it out back towards the mound.

The celebrations here on the South Side will be going on far into the morning. Methinks there will be a lot of Sox "flu" called in to various employers tomorrow.

[kanrok]

23. In that case, thanks, ma'am

Classy move. Sorry about the mistake.

[madrchsod]

27. my mom is up there with them...

i was raised a sox fan from a wee baby..my first game was when i was about 8 or 9. now 50 some years they have the best shot ever to take it all! if they see a crazy white haired lady jumping up and down that`s my mom!!

[jus_the_facts]

8. Way To Geaux White Sox....

[TrueAmerican]

9. White Sox are class act

They just voted a playoff winning share to the umpiring crew. HA HA!

[kanrok]

14. More like they voted a WS share to Vlad Guerrero

[Chi-Town Exile]

30. LOL!!!!

[Chi-Town Exile]

31. Double Post! I HATE THAT!

[Wabbajack]

10. W00t!

[Up2Late]

11. SO this means they go to the World Series? Who do you think they'll...

...play?

Maybe you'd know, what's the deal with them wearing "Kelly Green" this year? Was that a special game?

[Bjornsdotter]

15. From a Die-hard Northside Cubs Fan...

....a big thumbs up and the best of luck in the World Series!

Cheers! :toast:

[kanrok]

17. Sweet

Thanks.

[JVS]

16. Celebrations in the lounge as well

Wooohooo!

[murielm99]

20. Yeah!

This Cubs fan will be cheering them on all the way!

My husband is a White Sox fan.

[madrchsod]

24. ah yes....

after 50 years of following the sox it looks like they`ll have the best chance to win the world series in their history! for all the crap we sox fans have put up over the years because the cubs were the chicago "team"...well who`s going to the big game? southside rules this year...we will see what the northsiders come up with next year.

you can put it on the board---yesssssss!!!

[Chi-Town Exile]

29. Can't you just enjoy your win without whining about the Cubs?

White Sox fan and CLASS? Something that will NEVER go together.

[JVS]

32. I ought to stab you for saying that!

;-)

[Rich Hunt]

40. that's just a troll

...and probably not from Chicago.

The east coast is realllly burned by this, as you can tell from the silence.

They like to pretend that Sox and Cub fans don't know each other.

"no class" means "not in the register"....i.e., their private social register

You ought to retort with, "and you have no star."

:evilgrin:

[HuckleB]

42. You may be right.

For all the big mouth anti-Cub Sox fans and all the big mouth anti-Sox Cub fans, there are at least ten fans on each side happy to see the other win on those few years that it happens. At least that's my anecdotal experience over the years.

And it does burn me up to see so many east coasters ignoring the teams left this year. If you're truly a baseball fan, you should be watching, no matter what. This is still the most exciting time of year. I seldom have a dog in the hunt myself, and I don't this year, but I'm still loving every minute of October!

[Chi-Town Exile]

54. Sorry, Einstein, no troll here.

I'm from Chicago. Down to my deep dish pizza, vienna beef hot dog eating core. (No, you can't get good pizza or hot dogs here in the South.)

I only wish that there were a small minority of anti-Cub Sox fans. And in all honesty, the amount of anti-Sox Cub fans is quite small since most Cub fans don't give a rat's heine about the Sox.

I'm just tired of all the vitriol directed at Cub fans from Sox fans. It's what they dish out, sorry if they can't take it when its directed at them.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

33. Hey guys, knock it off. As I posted above we're all

Chicagoans at heart right.

Can we please forgot about the Cubs v. Sox thing and just enjoy the fact that an actual World Series will be played in Chicago?

Let's enjoy, God only knows when it will happen again...

[Chi-Town Exile]

35. I would agree ... if this were 1983.

I rooted for the Sox that year and then imagine my surprise in 1984 when every White Sox fan I ran into during the playoffs told me to fuck off and die with the Cubs!

I have never seen a more twisted fan base than White Sox fans. Here at the most important time in their lives as Sox fans, all they can do is rag on the Cubs ... Guess that is what happens when your only claim to fame as a White Sox fan is your HATRED of all things CUB.

Pathetic, disgusting.

Hope those blown calls come back to bite ya ...

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

39. Hey Chi-Town Exile, I remember back in 1969 when the Cubs

blew it and the crap I put up with then as a South Side Cub fan.

There's twisted people everywhere and I refuse to lower myself to their level.

Any real fan of baseball will appreciate and understand what the Sox accomplished this year.

I'm just happy that there will be an actual World Series played in Chicago. I was too young in 1959, not quite six years old, to understand what it meant.

Besides, the Sox haven't won the Series yet. They still have 4 more games to win.

[Rich Hunt]

41. well, perhaps

Perhaps you should save your breath and consider why.

Perhaps you should ask them what the Tribune Company did to them.

It was criminal.

Then come back and tell us that we have "no class".

At least our owner doesn't do business with the mob.

That's a fact. Why don't you head on up there and ask.

It's not about REAL Cub fans, who know all of this business.

It's about the fakes who are really just investors and apologists for a criminal media corporation.

Sorry, the truth hurts.

[Chi-Town Exile]

52. Because I don't root for the Sox, I root for the Tribune?

That's quite a stretch ... even for a White Sox fan.

Just because I root for my team doesn't mean I like the owner. The Tribune Company is rotten to the core.

Just because I pointed out how nasty, mean and disgusting White Sox fans are to Cub fans, you're attacking the messenger?

You're the people that need to grow up. I didn't come across one bozo that hated the Cubs, it's the WHOLE fan base.

All White Sox fans have as an identity is their hatred of the Cubs. That's the truth and you know it.

I'll root for the Sox when Sox fans root for the Cubs in the same situation. There's as much a chance of that happening as Bush getting impeached. Zippo Nada. In fact, there is more of a chance that Bush will be impeached than the Cubs getting to the World Series and White Sox fans rooting for them if they did! LOL

[HuckleB]

43. Baloney.

Maybe you got into it with one bozo, and now you've generalized from that one experience.

Grow up, or, please, stop rooting for the Cubs. Cub fans don't need any big babies on board.

[WilliamPitt]

44. And I thought I was bitter.

Heh.

You're a crazy person.

Yes you are.

[Chi-Town Exile]

53. Yes I am Will, when it comes to Sox fans.

I have NEVER met ONE Sox fan that wasn't an asshole to me about being a Cubs fan. (Other than my father, who was a Sox and Cubs' fan)

That is the truth, the God honest truth.

I'm sorry to generalize but that has been my experience.

For those White Sox fans that are not like that, my apologies, but the MAJORITY of White Sox fans I have met talk more about the Cubs than the Sox.

And while I'm happy for the Sox players, I can't stand their manager, Guillen, need I remind you guys what he said during or after the strike? "We don't need the fans!" Wonder if he still feels that way.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not discounting what the team has accomplished this season, I'm just not going to root for them. Bottom line, it's not because of the White Sox team, it is because of their fans.

[Menshevik]

25. CONGRATS from this Angels fan

You guys totally outplayed us and I was damn impressed with your pitching. Good luck in the WS, and I'll be rooting for you (unless you play the Cards...my grandparents were huge fans ;) )

[wndycty]

28. Kick

:kick:

[jeffrey_X]

51. Thanks...

You guys showed a lot of class in the series. I'm glad we played you instead of the Yankess for the AL Pennant.

[bigwillq]

34. Congrats Sox fans!

:bounce::party: :toast:

[HuckleB]

36. SWEET! Congrats Sox Fans!

Awesome!

Salud!

[Itchinjim]

37. Win it all southsiders!!

'cause us northsiders can't seem to. GO SOX GO!!!

[dhill926]

38. Go! Go!

Brings me back to being 6 fucking years old sitting in 1st Grade listening to the Series on the transistor radio Bob Elson and Milo fucking Hamilton calling the game Sherm Lollar behind the plate MVP Neliie Fox at 2nd Cy Young Award winner Early Wynn leading the staff along with lefty Billy Piece the incomparable Jim Landis in center I believe Al Smith at 1st Gene Freeze or Roy Sievers at 3rd can't remember Johnny Callison on the fucking team? who the fuck knows, what about Jungle Jim Rivera and 4 decade wonder the great Minnie Minoso and of course my idol along with Ernie Banks Bob Cousy Bill Russell and Johnny Unitas the Venezuelan phenom shortstop who they fucking traded and made me hate them for a long time Luis "Little Louie" Aparicio. Damn!

[tritsofme]

45. I can only hope that Houston beats the Cards

So I won't be forced to root for the Sox in the Series.

Love a Cubs fan.

[B Calm]

46. Go Go Sox!!

Been waiting for this since 1959. I was only 8 years old in 1959, but still remember how happy my dad was that his beloved White Sox were in the World Series.

[MaineDem]

47. Back to back Sox wins in the World Series?

This Red Sox fan is thrilled to have the White Sox in the World Series.

Congratulations to the Chicago fans! You've had the best team all year and you deserve this victory.

Now win the whole thing! The feeling is sweet.

:party:

[rosesaylavee]

48. Ain't it grand!

They play like a team - not individuals prima donnas. They never lost that team focus throughout the entire series. And I thought Paulie's acceptance of MVP was classy - he is just one of the players. Not one of them has a big head thinking they alone did it. This is how baseball is supposed to be played.

Loved every minute of it so far.

GO SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[UrbScotty]

49. Goodbye Los Angeles Angels of Reaganaheim!

[jeffrey_X]

50. Yes!!!!!!

fuck yea!!!!
