I just got home from the thing. I gotta say, fun times were had by all. I was on the corner of LaSalle and Lake, Southeast side, so we had a great vantage point right before they had to slow to go under the tracks. I took some awesome pictures, including the one that is my new avatar. After that, we followed the hordes down the street closer to the stage, only to not hear or be able to see a damn thing. Knowing that I was copying this whole thing on DVD, we left and went to Redfish for a beer and some food. Standing on our feet for three hours was enough. Thanks to the city though, it was fun to get together with the masses and cheer them on once again. Seeing the players beaming from ear to ear and encouraging the fans was worth the price of admission itself. Props to the surrounding buildings on LaSalle too, as it was fun to see all of the signs and stuff in the windows. What was also comical is my picture of the LaSalle Bank float being decapitiated by the train overpass, I will have to post that soon. That, and watching them tug on Jenks to tell him to sit down before he was tore in half going under that thing. This was certainly a fun way to cap off an incredible thrill ride that I am NOT READY TO GIVE UP!!! No more baseball for a few months, what the hell am I am going to do?!?!?!

I will be there too. My boss pretty much conceded that once this is all over I will be a functional, contributing employee again. So he is just letting things go and hoping I can still bounce back!

Buehrle got me when he stopped and said thanks to everyone. Such a class act.

The pilot and co-pilot are holding world champ flags out the side windows as the plane continues to taxi. This is so f***ing cool!!!

Live coverage on ABC right now from Midway.

The bullpen is better, with two legitimate studs at the back in Damaso Marte and Shingo Takatsu. ---Thats my favorite line, funny funny stuff---

Here is a forward that a buddy of mine just sent me, I about fell off the chair reading it.... Bud Light presents "Real Men of Genius" Today, we salute you, Mr. Cub Fan-Bandwagon Jumper White Sox fan. As you drive like a nervous wreck down the Dan Ryan in the Mercedes that your parents bought for you, you wonder, "Will the South Side Faithful accept me and my sweater-vest and Heineken-drinking ways?" You arrive at the ballpark only to realize that "Hey, there's no Ronnie-Woo-Woo here, but only countless look-alikes selling shirts that say, "Cubs Suck", and "Cuck Da Fubs." But this doesn't offend you. Why? Because now you're a Sox fan, dammit, and to prove it you put on your newly purchased White Sox cap, only to be ridiculed by a real Sox fan, who says to his buddies, "Wow, look at that douchebag." So crack open an ice cold Bud Light oh Fairest of the Fairweather Fairies, because if it's the Blue Jays that make the playoffs next year, you might have to carry around a new pet bird like the little fairy that you are. ---I love those radio commercials, so this was very appropriate--

A very long, drawn out, "HOLY s***!!!!"

Nahh, they cut you off way before it got there. They filled the space with their own laughter, so you had that going for you!

Yeah, they totally wanted to let you finish the story, then you cussed and they both laughed. Cangelosi said something to the effect of "Well, he was almost going to get to keep going until he dropped the f-bomb." But he said it in that weird ass Cangelosi voice.

It was hilarious, mostly for Cangelosi's reaction afterwards.

I can't sleep. Sitting up, reading, and listening to the score.

I would be interested as well, the last thing I want is memories of Buck and Mcdouchebag giving their perspective on anything.

"MIIIIIILLLLLAAAAHHHH LLLLIIIIITEEE!!!!"

I stood up, grabbed my beer, took a swig, puffed my smoke and smiled. I was speechless for a good 5 minutes. This was the most amazing/fun sports moment of my life. Thank you White Sox for doing what we all thought you would.

I had everyone at the bar calling him the "Rally Crede" with every at-bat of his this past week. Inside, I giggled, because no one knew what it meant. But, the Rally Crede is the best, and his work is done. Thank you Joe, for one hell of a month, you did more than any of us thought you would.

Hey Rally, never know, if we lose yet another player, they might call either one of us to fill in for Ahman. This season sucks for them.... On the brighter side.... THE WHITE SOX WON THE WORLD SERIES.....

I am mostly depressed that there is NO MORE BASEBALL to be watched this year. I got so used to planning my day around work and watching. I am a Packer fan, which this year means I have no football to watch. I am still in shock, and god only knows when this will set in.

I wish you could have been out there for us Frank, this one was for you!!!!!! You have been our constant, our rock....and we will never forget.... #35, you have your ring...

If I were to croak tomorrow, I would do so when OUR WHITE SOX were WORLD f***ING CHAMPIONS!!!!!! We did it!!!! I never thought I would ever see this day in my life, and it still has not sunk in yet.... THE WHITE SOX ARE THE WORLD CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!

Thank you SOXTALK. I read this board for the entire year before I ever signed up or even posted. This has been great in terms of venting/talking/dealing with all that was going on with our team. This has been SO AMAZING. I will be there tomorrow at noon when the plane lands, to shed one more tear for the team that just won this for US. I can't even type anymore.....must drink more beer....

Miller Lite and lots of Jager-bombs

Hilarious!!! Do it for A.J.'s belly!!

WOW. Scathing words. He failed to mention Phil making a jackass out of himself getting into a cussword laden shouting match with Jurassic Carl. That was utterly embarassing. I expect that out of Carl, but not for a manager to respond to it like that. For those of you who are good at reading lips, it was pretty funny what Phil was saying. Furthermore, and they just mentioned it on Boers and Bernstein, what the hell is with the coral reef growing on Astacio's face? It was almost too gross to look at.
