WS in WS

The White Sox are in the World Series.

Last night the White Sox beat the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim by a score of 6 - 3. This was the fourth win of the American League Championship Series and clinched the first AL pennant for our favorite team since 1959. Now all the Pale Hose need to do is win four more games to become World Series champions. They truley are a World Class team with Dominican, American, Venesualian, Cuban, Japanese, Mexican, Guatamalan, and even Californian players.

The rumor is that Bill Lambert is overjoyed by this, a thing that has only happened once in his life, when he was nine. He also expects that the team of his dreams will go on to win the WS, something they have not done since 1917 (a very good year: the Sox won, Edwin Lambert and Irene Castle were both born).

The South Siders were also in the Series other times. They beat the Cubs in 1906, the NY Giants in 1917. They lost to Cincinati in 1919 with the Black Sox scandle and the LA Dodgers in 1959. The have gone the second longest of any team who has won it after the Chicago Cubs, who have not won since 1908. The Flubs have been there nine other times but lost all those.

GO WHITE SOX!!!

The wedding may have to be pushed up a day or postponed a day due to the first game of the World Series... Or maybe all the Chicago fans will be in the lounge for the game!

Glad I had a generator so I could watch and wake up for the end every night! (that was when all the action was).
