QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Oct 27, 2005 -> 05:28 PM) I'm sorry, but if you couldn't watch 4 extremely close, extremely hard fought games in a row and not enjoy the baseball you're watching, there's something really freaking wrong with you. I was talking with a guy at the tux place yesterday (both of us in sox hats and jackets) and we were talking about how awesome the games were because they were so close. It is so awesome to walk around in my Sox gear and have a bunch of people stopping to talk or winking and smiling.

I have the cartoon as my work desktop that was posted here about the field of dreams and the cap and bat on the mound with a note "Went to Chicago." My mom has that up on her White Sox wall at work. That is an awesome little cartoon.

My dad works at 29 S Lasalle and is so happy that he doesn't have to work tonight. Last time there was a ticker tape parade, the mounds of paper were pushed into the private alleys/driveways and since he is a janitor it fell upon him to clean up - took his full 8 hr shift plus an additional 4 hrs to cleanup - it might have been 20 years ago, but he never forgot that lol. My aunt is down there. My friend and I were going to go, but I woke up sick as did two of her daughters. About 10 pills (and a checking balance check) later and I am starting to feel better lol.

Here! I am Mount Greenwood. I walked up and down 115th between Central Park and Bourbon Street - saw the cops in riot gear just standing there - made me laugh.

QUOTE(toasty @ Oct 27, 2005 -> 12:46 AM) just reported that they will arrive @ midway between 3 and 4 pm I WILL be there!!!!

QUOTE(kman @ Oct 27, 2005 -> 12:35 AM) y the noooo? and where will the afterpart parade be millenium park/grant park???? Because I won't be able to go. I have a couple of appointments and then the rehearsal. I was hoping it was going to be Sunday.

QUOTE(chisoxfan79 @ Oct 27, 2005 -> 12:31 AM) I'll kill for opening day tix next year. I am already trying to come up with a plan to score two tickets.

Anyone know when the Sox are coming home? (yeah, this is just a bump lol)

QUOTE(chisoxfan79 @ Oct 27, 2005 -> 12:07 AM) I heard on the score it will be on Friday NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

WOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I am finally hearing THIS QUEEN song played for my boys WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(Felix @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 11:13 PM) The whole team gets the MVP in my book. We were voting for Oz to get the MVP.

I listened to his little speech and that was a bit of a downer - I may not be a huge radio fan, but I liked Rooney.

I know my grampa did what he could from above to help this team. Since he couldn't be here for my wedding, he is giving me the best gift ever - a story for the ages. That was the one big thing I adored about my grampa - all the stories he had to tell. Now I have a huge story of my own. This is for you Gramma and Grampa!!!

I screamed and then I called my mom. I ticked myself off though, I didn't cry and I have been thinking about that moment for a long time and I always pictured tears. Damn tear ducts never do what they are told, little bastards lol.

QUOTE(Felix @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 11:26 PM) This has been the best week of my life.I can die happy Ditto - The Sox win the World Series and I am getting married woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The helicopters are here! As are the cops in riot gear (by Bourbon St)!

Depending if my aunts swing by and if I stay home, I might be here.

QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 04:12 PM) Steff will be at the UC! And I will be at home lol.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 04:43 PM) First lets win this thing...than we can debate this. Come on Frederico!!!

Between the drinking I did last weekend and the drinking that will be done this weekend, if they win it tonight the most I will drink is a glass of white zinfandel.

LMAO!

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 03:03 PM) Do NOT take this one for granted!!! Until we've got 27 and a W, business as usual. FINISH IT OFF, GUYS!!!!!!!! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Home - I have invited my aunts over though

COOL! Queen at work. Now if I can convince myself to turn my out of office assistant (for voice and email). . .

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 11:32 AM) HUGE Queen fan here. Grew up on them, they were my first "obsession" in the music world, used to do "air guitar" (with a real guitar though) and think I was Brian May all the time. But honestly, I detest that f***ing song. It bugs me that is the song everybody plays by them. Terrible friggin' song. There, after all these 30 years, I can finally admit that. Phew...I feel better now. Ditto on the huge Queen fan. I have my "A Kind of Magic" CD in my computer CD_Rom and listened this morning - I personally like the "Gimme the Prize" song (or "I want it all"). I can't really think of any of their songs that I truely detest though.

QUOTE(ShoelessJoe2005 @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 02:03 PM) I'm presuming most of the people here who like hockey are 'Hawks fans. But, how do ya'll like the "new" NHL? I'm a canes/sens fan. So far I am ambivalent about the "new" NHL. I liked the defensive play of the Canes, but am willing to give this new hockey a chance before I hate it lol.
