4) A team with a fan base across the country.
5) A major newspaper and television station that promotes even lackluster teams.
6) The dream...
White Sox fans have:
1) A manager they wanted to fire last year.
2) A reputation for drunk and disorderly conduct.
3) A Championship trophy, but no satisfaction and national acceptance.

I'd take a World Series championship over a packed park, TV audience, newspaper, or any of your other above trivialities. You guys remain content in the asinine belief that popularity, attendance, or other peripheral things makes a difference, for when it comes down to it, the World Series is the ultimate goal.

The whole world watched a fourteen game lead dwindle away. From New York, to Boston and Cleveland, the world laughed at your team. Even their victory was tarnished with bad calls. That is how they will be remembered in 2005, not for leading wire to wire or sweeping the Astros.

Oh, puhleeze! They'll easily be remembered as the team that dominated in the post-season like few others; as a team without a single, egotistical idiot who grabbed the spotlight from his teammates; as a team that so many people swore destiny blessed; as a team with pitching so effective that it ranks among Baseball's greatest playoff staff ever; as a team that
won the 2005 World Series.
Jealousy and excuse-making isn't going to make your ridiculous comments any more accurate.
Now, work on getting your team into the playoffs so the North and South can meet in the World Series.
