Fabulous job by the White Sox - congrats. For a laugh, this was my pre-season preview on them:
Season Picks & Preview: AL Central
"3. Chicago White Sox: This team will finish third for two reasons: a.) I expect big seasons from the front of their rotation, and b.) default. They've been a poorly constructed team and a poor organization for 80 some years, and the '05 version is no different. The casual fan couldn't pick 98% of their roster out of a police line-up, and the ones he could name would either be washed-up (and not that good even when they were young) veterans in Jermaine Dye, Timo Perez, Paul Konerko, and Carl Everett, or would be Frank Thomas (who might as well have retired five seasons ago)."
Gotta be the worst prediction since General Custer thought there'd be friendly Indians at Little Big Horn.
Keep that trophy warm until we reclaim it next year, bitches! |

Nice sweep by the Sox. I guess gave the 'Stros too much vcredit when I picked the Sox in 5. 
The sad thing about baseball being over is there will be more NBA and NHL on TV. After football is over, reading season begins.

With this sweep, the National League hasn't won a World Series game in 2 years.
