10 Things to Know About the White Sox
 

Since most people here are either rooting for the Red Sox or the Yankees, I thought I would post this article from MLB.com to educate those of you who don't follow the team that I live and die for.....

Pity post

11. You can put it on the board

how is it a pity post? we just swept the defending champs. i'm just throwing something down to show some of these mutherfuckers that Boston and New York aren't the only two teams in the American League.

#11 would be that we have the number one rated radio team in baseball: John Rooney & Ed Farmer.

If the WhiteSox don't win the world series, nobody will remember this. (Except you :p)

and if they do?

they won't :'(

The Sox have some nice history to them. I knew all that already, but I love baseball history non the less. My favorite "history" to come out of the Sox is what Cleveland's Addie Joss and The Sox's Ed Walsh did in 1908. One threw a perfect game, the other threw a no hitter. Ed Walsh lost 1-0.

Also another interesting tidbit, the Chi Sox's first manager was hall of famer, Clark Griffith. Griffith came from the Chicago Cubs and he was one of the main guys responsible for getting people to jump leagues. Griffith also led the Sox in wins that year. And the Sox won the American League that year.

So the Chicago White Sox are the original champions of the AL.

Cool read.

or that the Cub's beloved Harry Caray started with the Sox and the Wrigley Field ivy was the idea of Sox owner Bill Veeck (and that it actually came from Comiskey Park).

Nice read. Look I didn't think that the Yankees were the only good team. I'm a fan so of course I'd want them to win the series. But now that there out for losing just to fucking Anaheim. I will be cheering on the White Sox the whole way through. There are a lot of good teams out there Joey and I respect alot of them it's not like I only believe my team is the only good team.
