Paul,
Not getting my hopes up, but I am pulling for the White Sox. My dad is a sox fan and it was always the one thing we had in common when I was growing up. I can still remember the starting line up from the 1959 sox team.
In Chicago we have always had good beer,pizza and hot dogs but very few winning teams. When one comes along you have to jump a the band wagon. Hell some of the expansion teams have more championships than Chicago teams in my life time.
