The ChiSox swept my ‘Stros, taking the finale in Houston 1-0.
As cruel as history can be, the 2005 World Series will be remembered as a four-game conquering by the Sox when instead it could be viewed as a razor’s edge, game-by-game struggle in which only six runs settled four games.
I’d hoped for more, but I stand by my statement that I’m quite satisfied with the NL pennant.
Huzzah! for Craig Biggio!
Huzzah! for Jeff Bagwell!
Huzzah! for Brad Lidge!
Huzzah! for Lance Berkman!
Huzzah! for Roger Clemens!
Huzzah! for Andy Pettitte!
Huzzah! for Roy Oswalt!
Huzzah! for Brandon Backe!
Huzzah! for Phil Garner!
Huzzah! for all the Astros, past and present!
Huzzah! for dear ol’ H-Town!!!
Now, I’ve still got to score me one of those pennants.

But, to me, a very selfish fan, that means that my Texas Rangers can still be the first Texas team to win a World Series. Or a WS game, even. […]
