The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Okay, Its officially the WORLD SERIES. The most wonderful time of the year for baseball fans, unless of course you're last years champion giving up your title or the Royals, who never will understand the concept of a title.

So, assuming you're not an Astros or White Sox fan who should you root for?

Two modes of thought (and the bonus option of course):

1. Root for the Astros
They can beat the team that humiliated us. They have a citgo sign. They have ex-Yankees (hahahahaha where would the Yankees be with Pettite and Clemens? Oh yeah, probably not eliminated by the Angels or tied for first in the AL East.). The White Sox need to bear their burden longer. And the Astros have never won it. Plus you have to feel bad for the cubs!

2. Root for the White Sox
If they win the World Series, being swept wont look so bad. At least someone in Chicago deserves to be happy? They too have ex-Yanks? They haven't won since 1917. They haven't won since 1917. They HAVEN'T WON SINCE 1917. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, they're the BEST TEAM and DESERVE IT.


3. Root for a good series because 1 & 2 both have valid points.
That is, a little Baseball post-modernism if you will.

I'm torn here. I really want it to be a good series.

At first I was pulling for the Astros because they've never won it. But as I've been watching, it is hard not to pull for the White Sox. The 92 year old people crying, the excitement, the character, the heart. It is beautiful. And heck, if they win, maybe Buck Weaver (or at least his memory) will be reconciled.
