Just waiting to watch the second Chicago fire in dumpsters across the city...Stay tuned to your local news. There may not be a South Side tomorrow. We haven't had looting and gunfire since the Bulls...

Were there 88 "Sox Win!" in there?

The NL Central hasn't put on a very good show in the WS the last 2 years, huh?

Beautifully played baseball. Everyone contributes and players get hits when they need them. Houston, 0-31 with runners in scoring position. As a pitching coach, I am going to attribute that to great pitches made in timely situations. =)

I coached a kid last year that is now pitching at Kankakee JC ... Hayoooge ChiSox fan ... I'd bet money that kid ain't seen the inside of a classroom all week ... with no hope of seeing one tomorrow or Friday. Hey, live it up ... it may be the last WS of his lifetime.

Who should get the credit for ended Brad Lidge's playoff dominance? Pujols? Podsednik? Amazing that a guy can go from unhittable to doing what he did in the WS.

4 great games ... just what a world series should be.

Congrats Sox fans. I was hoping for an I-55 series between the Cards and ChiSox ... but it can easily be said, the best team this year won the WS.

Red Sox in 04. ChiSox in 05. and the Cubbies STILL don't have a chance in hell in 06 ... just the way the baseball gods intended for it to be.

I don't know about beautifully played. It was a real snorefest from here. At least in well pitched games the team with the surprising steller pitching performance (not to take anything away from Garcia, but Backe was facing a better hitting lineup and Houston's hitters didn't show up) pulls out a win, but the 'Stros couldn't buy a run. Biggest goats of the series: Garner and Ensberg, with an honorable mention to Berkman. Funny thing is that Garner didn't handle his team like an NL manager, but Guillen did.

So is Clemens coming back again next year? He's committed to pitching in the baseball world championships so he might as well collect another 18-million dollar paycheck. Plus, he has a chance to be with his kid during Spring Training.

Snorefest? Most boring world series ever seen?

Game 1, Sox 5-3 ... highlighted by Bobby Jenks coming in and throwing 100mph fastballs by Bagwell with the game on the line. Repeat for the 9th inning. Joe Crede reminds everyone of why defense is just as important as offense in many cases. He also hit a homer just to be complete.

Game 2, Sox 7-6. Trailing 4-2, Jermaine Dye gets "beaned" loading the bases for a Grand slam by Konerko. sox up 6-4. Jenks, the game 1 stud, gets roughed up for 2 runs, and the Sox take a tie game into the bottom of the 9th. Podsednik, who had a total of 0 home runs in over 500 regular season at bats, homers to win the game.

Game 3, Sox win 7-5 IN 14 INNINGS! Blum comes off the bench in his first worlod series at bat, hits a homer to win the game. Game ends with the potential winning run at home plate.

Game 4, Sox 1-0, Dye wins the game in the 8th after Harris singles in his first world series at bat.

If you don't like baseball ... then just say so ... but don't say goofy stuff like the series was boring. Every game was decided in the last few innings. Dramatic Home runs in 3 of the 4 games? New stars stepping up, and the end of a long streak of no world series for a storied franchise.

Last years' series was BORING (and MY team was in that one). Was it boring b/c no coast teams were in? I understand ... the rest of us suffered through the 2000 world series Zzzzzzzzzz.

The best players in the World are in the league.

Do we really need to see an American team sweep another league's team every year to have the title?

Is there anyone in the sport really debating where the best players in the world are? Or where the highest quality ball is played?

What do japan and Australia call their "championship series"?

The U.S. has not beaten Cuba in World Cup play since 1970.

It is arrogant to call a domestic league the world series if the rest of the world is not even invited. Especially when they might win a couple.

The US cant even make the Olympics in Baseball....how crap is that and they recon the have the best BB players in the world, and the audacity to call their national comp the world series....
Nevertheless, its nice to see a team who's been crap for so long finally get over the line.

I wonder if that has anything to do with [1] amateur players v. professional players, [2]The US STILL doesn't send it major leagers ... world cup play takes place during the baseball season. I won't dispute quality baseball existing in Cuba, but I'm not gonna get over-excited by their professionals beating our amatuers ... or as the case may be currently ... our minor leagers.

It is arrogant to call a domestic league the world series if the rest of the world is not even invited.

At the time the name was conceived there was only one baseball league in the world. Whoever won that league, was the world champs.

Let's not read too much into the name.

Especially when they might win a couple.

A couple?

>>>At the time the name was conceived there was only one baseball league in the world
Oh. Fair enough. It is not arrogant, it is historical. Apologies. Makes the name seem quaint.

>>>A couple?
A couple of World Series'. I mean one or two. Not many but the odd lucky one (...or two). "They" being the rest of the world.

Why doesn't the USA want to win the World Cup or Olympics in baseball ?
