World Series Winning White Sox!!!!
Whoo hooooo! YES! We are number one!!! Yeeeeeessssss!!! Alright!! GO GO WHITE SOX!!! Ozzie, Ozzie!! Whoooooooo HOoooooooooo!!!
Last night the Chicago White Sox beat the Houston Astros by a score of 1 - 0 to become the World Series Champions. The lone run was scored by Willie Harris who was a pitch hitter put in to replace the pitcher, Freddie Garcia. Harris had hit a single and was bunted to second by Scott Podsednik (a Texan, BTW). Podsednik was the hero of the previous night as he had hit the game winning walk off homer. Harris got to third on a groundout by Carl Everet. He scored on a grounder up the middle by Jermaine Dye, his third hit of the night. Dye would be granted the Series Most Valuable Player award for his fielding, his timely hitting and his .438 batting average in the series.
Freddie Garcia had pitched a great game, giving up no runs and thowing seven strike outs. Cliff Pollite and Bobby Jenks held the Astros scoreless, though not hitless. Bobby Jenks was the reliever of the Series, a cool 24 year old that was brought in at midseason. He came straight from AA ball, not having pitched in AAA at all.
Fans here in the far south suburbs of Chicago are extatic. There were lots of fireworks and horns honking last night, your blogger included. He watched the game at home with his wife and neighbor, too tired from the last night's fourteen inning, 5 hour 41 minute marathon game to go out.
