The White Sox are the Oasis of baseball teams.
The Astros are the Beatles.

Score one for Oasis and the White Sox.

3. Oasis was more popular than the Beatles in the 90s.

6. Let me ask you a question.
Which team is more likely to be associated with the mullet hairstyle? (This does not necessarily mean the team has more mullets.)

That's right, the Astros.

Now look which band is four-for-four as far as mullets go.

Score one for Oasis and the White Sox.

7. That makes no fucking sense
If the best you have to say about Oasis is that they had crappy 90s haircuts instead of crappy 60s-70s haircuts, then that is just sad.

9. Uh, no. Are you watching the games?
Crede? Cotts? Hell, even Ozzie Guillen has a mullet.

Been on the South Side recently? High percentage of mullets per city block.

I have no idea about this Oasis/Beatles bullshit, but the White Sox lead in bad hair in this Series (as they do everything else).

12. You got that backward.
Sox are the real thing (Beatles) while the Astros are pretenders to the throne (Oasis).

:D

16. You are a little bit wrong and a little bit right.
You are thinking about how the fans run out on the field.

17. Because somebody tried to fool you.
A Beatlist propagandist put on an Asia album and told you it was Oasis, when it wasn't, and you thought it sounded the same.

That's why you should listen to the radio; the Beatlist propagandist tried to take advantage of the fact that you don't listen to the radio except for the news and Air America. Oasis songs are on the radio every day and climb the charts.

18. Well, that could be it...
It's true I don't listen to much commercial radio. Not enough bluegrass you know.

27. You're wrong about Oasis being Asia
John Wetton could kick those Gallagher buttwipes's asses with both hands tied behind his back.

25. I'll tell you what's boring.
Boring is wearing suits if you're a rock and roll band. Boring is giving up things like playing concerts drunk and eating chicken onstage to increase your commercial appeal.

Liam Gallagher gave the middle finger during an Oasis concert, plus both he and his brother got in trouble for throwing things at people on a plane. That is the opposite of boring, which is known as exciting.
