Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack
Today there is joy in Mudville. White Sox 5 - Houston Astros 3.
It's a beautiful thing to see the "The Joan" filled to capacity. The name was invented by Stan and Terry, they're the hosts of a daily radio show in the evenings on WCKG. Yes, I know it's officially the U.S. Cellular Field but with that comes the nickname of "The Cell". Most people when they see that name they are thinking the pokey and I don't mean the hokey pokey. But hey that's what it's all about. Things would have been easier if they had just kept the name Comiskey Park. I guess we should be lucky they didn't decide to fire Nancy Faust, organist with the White Sox organization for over 35 years. You go girl!!!
The city has come out in full force. On Friday the city gave away masks of Ozzie Guillen. The Picasso is wearing a White Sox cap. I love hats. The two American Indian statues, left over from The Columbian Exposition of 1893, on Michigan Avenue have white socks on their horses legs. The Chief of Police joked that they'd have to be excused because this was first time they've ever had to plan coverage for a World Series before.
There haven't been many reports of ticket scalping. In fact, I commend the White Sox organization for the following deed. When certain celebrities who shall be nameless tried to scam tickets for the playoffs and the World Series by using their status, the White Sox said basically no dice. Their priorities are to their season ticket holders. The celebrities would have to pay just like anyone else. A great marketing strategy they used was that if you wanted to order World Series tickets before they went on sale to the general public, you could pay to be a season ticket holder for the 2006-2007 season.
Certain people claim that it's impossible to root for one team and be a fan of the other. Yeah right. I guess I'm going on the short bus to hell because I like to read the Chicago Sun-Times during the week and the Chicago Tribune on Sunday. It's Chicago White Sox and Chicago Cubs. Please note the similarity in their names. Both teams represent the city. I wish the White Sox well. They've worked hard, shown great examples of teamwork, and it's their turn to shine. As usual this long suffering fan of the Cubs knows there's always next year. Representing North Side.
On the other hand, if someone roots for the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers on game day, that's crazy.
