Congratulations to the White Sox

Congratulations to the 2005 World Series Champion White Sox. 88 years. God was finally on your side. Buck Weaver and Shoeless Joe can finally rest in peace. 88 Years. Tough. But I’m sure it means nothing now. The whole world of underdogs celebrates with you now. Or do they?

It seems this is something no one but White Sox fans, Cubs fans, Astros fans, and die hard baseball fans care about. Game 1 World Series stats showed that the number of viewers was down 31% from last year making for the second lowest rated Game 1 in history. Absolutely pathetic if you ask me. The world should care, and if you are a fan of any team I hope you watched at least one of the games.

Last year I felt as if the whole world cared, like the whole world was celebrating. Maybe I’m wrong and it just felt like that due to my ecstasy. Perhaps Chi-Sox fans don’t even notice this due to their elation, which I hope is indeed the case.

Winning the World Series is absolutely beautiful. So White Sox fans please lap up the glory. Live in it. Bathe in it. Shine in it. Enjoy every single moment. Love every single moment. Remember every single moment. Your day has come and it is absolutely beautiful.

Only down 31%? I wonder what they were compared to "The Subway Series"?

Truth is, most people didn't have dog in this fight. Nor for that matter did they have a dog everyone wants to see loose (NYY)

Ratings were so high last year because the Red Sox Nation is seeded from all over New England to all over the U.S.A.

Besides the fans, there was the story, and the tragedies in recent history that brought the rest of the world to the TV.

Outside of Chicago, I've almost never seen a White Sox cap.

If it were the Cubs - the numbers would have been up.
