Holy COW!!! White Sox up 3-1 in the ALCS, a great outing by Freddy Garcia, and the first ever time there were THREE COPNSECUTIVE COMPLETE GAMES pitched in the ALCS!!

Konerko did a great job again!!

The Angels are up against the ropes!! Could it be a Chicago pennant???

First time EVER in my lifetime that one of MY teams wins a pennant!!

In the patented words of Andy Rodzilsky,

4. Why's That??

Hell, it looks seriously like Chicago's 46-year pennant drought is coming to an end!! I'm THRILLED!!!

As a native-born South Sider, I have waited all my life for this!
I was there in 1977. I was there at Disco Demolition. I was there for the heartbreak of 1983...DAMN, THIS IS OUR YEAR!!!

P.S. Now, in 1985, my family moved to Texas, and I became a White Sox / Astros fan. The internet wasn't around then, and you couldn't get good media coverage on a non-local team, so, while retaining allegiance to the White Sox, my one and only choice for a local team was the 'Stros...couldn't root for the Rangers, they were in direct competition with the Sox!

So now...as a long-suffering fan of both the White sox, and the 'Stros...I may finally see both my favorite teams win their first-ever-in-my-lifetime pennants....IN THE SAME YEAR!!!

I'm practically beside myself, I am so excited right now!!

34 years of suffering as a White Sox fan...20 years of suffering as a 'Stros fan...and it may all finally become worth it all - this year!!

Now THAT is a fan! Someone who never gives up, good times and bad! It's EASY to be a fan of a winner, but be a long-suffering fan like I have been, and then you are a fan!

Now, having said that, I do tip my hat to the Angel fans who went till 2002 for their first. They were long-suffering too. But now, it is our turn!

6. I'm rooting for the White Sox just because they beat the 'other' Sox

And if the Yankees are not in the World Series, I always root American League! So therefore....go (White) Sox! :toast:

7. I'm an Angels fan, but the White Sox have waited a long time

for this ..and , frankly, all the Angels have proven is that if you lure whole teams away from other regions with scads of cash, you can get to the finals. My favorite Angels teams was from the late 80's...all long time Angels mostly except for Reggie
