Now that you got rid of Baker, maybe you will find something else to complain about next year. You do remember "Next year" right.

Peace

Hey, my childhood team has won the World Series.

Ok, just not in my lifetime.

Or my parents' lifetime. (Sigh...)

I was actually almost disappointed the White Sox didn't make it. I've never been into the Cub/Sox rivalry as much as some people, because my best friend growing up was a Sox fan, and the first game I ever went to was a Sox game. So I was kinda happy they won it last year. I've just learned to dislike loud-mouth Cardinal fans after moving halfway between Chicago and St. Louis, where it's about a 50-50 split between fans. Sox fans started coming out of the woodwork last year, but they're still few and far between.

As far as the "next year" comment:

Shut up.
