A Championship for the Ages!
The significance of this Sox championship will not be lost on Sox Fans or Chicago's fans who care about winning.

After 88 Years and Waiting, WE WON!!!
Finally Our Turn!

Memo to Fox Sports!
It's the national spotlight that shines down on Chicago and the Sox, but confusion lingers over exactly what makes Sox Fans unique! Ever in search of another story angle, Fox Sports seems hell bent to sell America a story about the Curse of Shoeless Joe -- going so far as inventing the curse from whole cloth!

The Great Week!
Is the best yet to come? You betcha! WSI's Guy Bacci wasn't alive the last time the Sox won a post-season playoff series and bets nobody else reading this on the world wide web was alive either! The Sox advance and the ride has been great. Better still there is more to come!
