FlaSoxxJim Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 The other memorable Onion headline today was "Bush To Nominate Next Person Who Walks Through Door." Fox Asks White Sox To Play Yankees For 'Real World Championship' October 27, 2005 | Onion Sports HOUSTON, TX—In a historic development in the 2005 Major League Baseball postseason, Fox executives announced that the Chicago White Sox, who defeated the Houston Astros in four games after a 1-0 victory Wednesday, must now play the New York Yankees in the best-of-seven 'Real World Series' beginning Saturday night at 8 p.m., in order to determine the actual world champions. "The White Sox must complete one final challenge before they may be crowned true champions," Fox president Peter Liguori announced over Minute Maid Park's PA system, interrupting the White Sox's celebration. "The Yankees are the keepers of the Real World Series trophy, and in order to win it, the White Sox must travel to New York and beat Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Randy Johnson, and the other formidable, marketable stars who await their arrival." Liguori added that, in the event that the White Sox decline the challenge, the Red Sox have been scheduled to stand in for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlaSoxxJim Posted October 27, 2005 Author Share Posted October 27, 2005 OK, maybe it's not so subtle. But when an absolutely great, nail-biting playoffs just end in which only one game out of 12 can be conisdered a blowout, and all the media can do is either stoke the 'bad call controversey' or go off on idiotic 'worst WS ratings ever' rants because the Yankees or Bosox aren't in it, it's beyond absurd.
